Once you feel ready to begin any exercise program that involves sustained aerobic activity you will need to consider these important issues:

* Your prior fitness level
* The ease or difficulty of your delivery
* Your physical recovery

Each of these factors will vary greatly with each woman, yet should be considered together when determining the safe and appropriate time to begin.

Prior fitness level: In general, the rule is the more fit a woman is going into the birth, the easier her recovery and the faster her return to activity.

The ease or difficulty of your labour and delivery will be a critical element to consider as well. Factors such as length of labour, type of birth, health of the baby and complications are but a few.

Typically, women wait until their six-week postnatal check up to receive the go-ahead from their GP or midwife. However, if you are feeling well enough, many practitioners will advocate an earlier return to moderate exercise, especially walking.

Finally, prior to grabbing your gym bag and heading out, it is critical that your body has sufficiently healed. Starting gradually and working up to sustained activity will produce the best results. Keep in mind that your body expanded slowly, undergoing extraordinary transformations from conception to birth. Full recovery will take anywhere from 9 to 12 months.

We will provide postnatal exercise on a regular basis, offering low impact exercise concentrating on stretches/pelvic floor exercises. Exercise will be on the ball to provide support and stability to enable toning towards regaining your body shape.

Programmes are planned out on the need of the mothers and the age of their babies.
