Health and fitness has always been a big part of my
life, I’m so grateful that my parents really
encouraged active play and lots of sport when I was
little. I grew up in a house where I was one of six
children so there was always someone to play with!
Throughout my life I’ve always been involved in
some element of sport and activity whether that was
being part of a netball team, swimming or going to
the gym.
After giving birth to Holly, I managed to keep up my
fitness by walking our gorgeous Labrador daily with
Holly in a sling. And as she got older I used to make
my way around the woods using the SmartTrike. It
was brilliant!
But after having Liam by C-section and having two
little ones, my husband needed to take over the
main dog walking and I slowly started to find myself
indoors quite a bit and not my usual active self.
Then one day enough was enough, I wanted part of
myself back, I needed something for me. I wasn’t
confident enough yet to join a gym and two months
after Liam was born we were still firmly in the night
bottle phase so I didn’t really like going out in the
evenings.
So, I searched for something which would fit with
my needs as a mum and I found Harmony
Fitness! http://www.harmonyfitness.uk/
Legs, Bums and Bubbas was amazing, you turn up
with your babies and toddlers roll your exercise
mats out and jump right into it.
Kate, who runs the classes, was so encouraging to
all us mums which gave everyone the confidence to
take part, not push yourself too hard but enough to
get some benefits. The exercises focus on working a
post baby body so no worries that you will injure
yourself either. Kate also incorporates your baby
into the workouts so it’s also a fantastic way to
bond. After the first session I was hooked and so
happy I joined.
HARMONY FITNESS
GOES VIRTUAL
LAURA CHAMBERS, ONTHEDOORSTEPWhilst attending fitness classes can be amazing, and provide not
only health benefits but also the opportunity to socialise,
sometimes we are just not ready to get out there.Thinking about nap times, what needs to be in the tardis that is the
nappy changing bag, negotiating feeding time and dealing with
crying (maybe the baby, maybe you) ...it can all become so
overwhelming and before you know it you’re worse off!So, Kate from Harmony fitness now has a solution for this. Rather
than you go to the class, the class can come to you! Legs, Bums and
Bubba’s has gone virtual.As Kate has given me access to this online portal, and as I have
attended the classes, I can say that what Kate has created is
amazing. She has filmed classes specifically for the online training,
so not a class being filmed, but a session just for you. She works
you in the same way so maybe if you want to transition into the
class one day, you will already be confident in what you’re doing.My children love the workouts too. Holly who is nearly three joins
in all the moves and Liam, who is now one loves being used as my
weight! It encourages bonding in our own home environment and to
them really it's just a big fun game.With 11 workouts Kate ensures you don’t get bored and not only
this, you also get access to nutritional advice as well.I really suggest taking a look if you want something personal but
also from the home!Group Classes:
