Pregnancy is such a crazy, yet remarkably short (although it doesn’t feel it at the time) time of life. But the lasting effects, not to mention the baby that follows, have a much longer impact. You may have heard giving birth compared to running a marathon. There are mixed views on exactly how true this is, but nevertheless, it is hard work and one I wouldn’t want to do without some sort of preparation.
Pregnancy yoga is very popular to help manage breathing and so a class like Bump Camp works very well alongside. Bump Camp is an exercise class suited for all stages of pregnancy. It focuses on perfecting functional movements, maintaining strength and general cardio fitness. All exercises are tailored accordingly to your fitness levels and stage of pregnancy.
Exercising when pregnant can be daunting and often feel like the last thing you want to do. However, many of the Bumpino mummies have said how much better they feel after a class when the alternative might have been crashing on the sofa after work. The classes run every Wednesday from 6-7 pm. Currently, we meet in Hamadryad Park and will do so until the nights start to close in on us.
