Pregnancy Exercise Class Aylesbury

Tuesday evening from 19:20-1950

During pregnancy, our posture changes and the deep muscles that support our back, hips and pelvis get stretched and weak. This can lead to aches, pains and difficulty with everyday activities like walking and turning over in bed.

Learn how to safely and effectively exercise the correct muscles that support your back, hips and pelvis. By improving the strength and coordination of these key muscles you will feel stronger and more supported, and better able to cope with the demands placed on your beautiful body as your posture changes, your baby grows and you get heavier. It will also help to prepare you for the physical demands of labour and motherhood.

This new class is led by a Specialist Pregnancy, Postnatal and Women’s Health Physiotherapist and designed especially for pregnant mums.

  • A short warm up/muscle releases
  • Safe exercises focusing on your deep core muscles, pelvic floor and you hip and pelvic muscles

  • High intensity, low impact exercise to increase your cardiovascular fitness and strength

  • Exercises can be completed at your own pace, making them as easy or as hard as you want them to be depending on your previous fitness levels

  • Warm down/stretches

  • The chance to meet other lovely mums to be

  • The opportunity to exercise safely with a physiotherapist that specialises in working with pregnant and postnatal ladies

Once you have reached the last few weeks of your pregnancy (35 weeks onwards) I am happy for you to pay as you go providing there is space in the class. Sessions will still need to be booked onto in advance and paid for upfront in the same way as outlined above.

Further class info.

Following consultation with my current Mums to be, it has been decided that for the time being, the class will continue to take place on Zoom, from the comfort of your own home.

What is Zoom?

Zoom is a bit like a conference call, we will all log in and be able to see and communicate with each other. All you need is a phone, iPad or laptop with a camera. In my classes I put a huge emphasis on meeting other Mums to be. I encourage you to log on early for a chat and keep your cameras and mics on :)

What do I need to bring?

A resistance exercise loop band- if you haven’t got one they are a great investment- I use them a lot!

These are the loop bands I use, they are £2.39

An exercise band if you have one. The resistance needs to be medium to strong.

A light weight if you have one. If not a 2L bottle of water/coke or 4pints of milk/juice bottle works well- something with a little bit of weight to it!

Please wear tight fitting leggings and a vest top (or similar) as I like to ensure I can see your tummy muscles working correctly.

Health screening:

Once you have signed up to the class, but prior to you starting the class we will do a 1:1 zoom call at a mutually convenient time (approximately 15minutes). This is to teach you the exercise technique we use in the class, and enable me to check you are doing the exercises correctly. I will also ask you to complete a health screening form prior to starting the class.

Once payment has been received, you will be sent a zoom invitation for the class and added to the class WhatsApp group. Please note refunds cannot be given, and classes cannot be moved. The class will always be recorded, and you will have one week to compete the class in your own time. You can re-do the class as many times as you like.

There is no pressure to log on live- some ladies choose to only ever do the online recordings, so do what works best for you.

If you have any queries, however small, feel free to ask.

I very much look forward to welcoming you to the class.

Kind regards

Gemma
