Getting back in shape with a new born
Following a delivery, new mothers often feel the need to get back into shape quickly and resume a more active lifestyle than during pregnancy. Although all this is completely understandable, it remains to activate safely and gradually to avoid injury or push the limits of his body. Especially since this new stage is accompanied by a newborn which results from a restructuring of the routine of mom.
Certainly, after nine months of pregnancy, the desire to find her body and energy takes over, but fears related to the introduction of the baby to the activities of the mother are also present. For example, the fear that the newborn will cry during the training session if mom brings it with her. Fears also plunge the new mother into a whirlwind of questioning about the environment in which she will bring baby and how to properly integrate the baby into this more active lifestyle.
There is a way to return to physical activity in an environment with tools and facilities that allow the integration of a newborn with, as a bonus, the support of other new moms. This same place offers women the chance to go at their own pace respecting the presence of baby with a management and competent staff with the family fiber. The facilities can include mattresses or saucers to keep the newborns comfortable while mom is active.
The Sporthèque offers several courses to welcome the mother and her newborn with the proper tools so that everyone can feel confident and comfortable during the activity. Mommy feels comfortable taking the baby when he cries or attaching a shell to his bike to rock baby while mom pedaling his spinning class. The music is softer and the essence of the lessons adapts to the new routine of the mother.
A gradual return to physical activity is also a good reason to get out of the house. Who says going out of the house also says socialization. Mother-baby classes allow you to meet new people and do activities with women who have the same schedule, which can help develop common passions or even friendships. It is also a great source of motivation in an environment of understanding with people facing the same reality.
It is recommended to resume training in a healthy and smooth way to be in recovery mode without imposing too much pressure on the shoulders. The main goal is to feel good and, to feel good, choosing a warm and trusted place is often the most important thing. At the beginning of the mom-baby activity sessions, La Sporthèque offers a guide with the instructions and precautions to take for the return to training moms so that everyone has the peace of mind to be able to complete their training safe!
