Pram-pushing mums are set to be a more regular sight at Highbridge’s Apex Park from this week as a brand new fitness programme for new mothers launches.
Burnham personal trainer Andrea Warren is starting the twice-weekly ‘Buggyfit’ classes, which involve mothers power walking with their prams at the park and doing various toning exercises.
Andrea explained: “With Buggyfit, the bump you carry for nine months becomes the bump you push to get back into shape after childbirth.”
“It’s the perfect way to gain back fitness whilst you have fun and make friends at the same time. And, because baby comes too, there’s no need for sitters, creches or excuses!”
She added that each class lasts about an hour and involves power walking plus a mixture of strengthening and toning exercises thrown in.
“It’s highly effective at improving posture, toning up, and shifting post-natal weight,” she said.
The classes, which start on Monday (May 12th), start at Apex Wildlife Park’s main car park on Mondays from 2-3pm and Wednesdays from 11.30am-12.30pm.
Sessions cost £5 each or £50 for 12. For more information, contact Andrea by email here or by calling 01278 723300.
Classes are also being held in Bridgwater, Street, Taunton and Chilton Polden. Buggyfit is a nationwide fitness scheme and more details are available from the national website here.
