Lucy from Leicester City
Lucy has always been on-and-off with physical activity, and found it hard to find exercise classes that weren't just yoga-related during her first pregnancy. After having her daughter, she remained on the lookout for something that would keep her fit, where she could also bring her daughter along.
Lucy found a baby group called Fiona's Fitness, part of the Active Mums Club – a circuits class that she could take her baby to. This was exactly what she needed, as she could keep fit at her own pace, as well as keep her daughter entertained. Lucy now regularly goes on walks with her daughter (who's now a toddler) to the park as well as attending other local baby/toddler groups.
Looking forward to her second child, due on Christmas Day, Lucy wants to remain an active mum, and wants to share her story and motivate other pregnant women and mothers to feel as though they can become or remain active. Lucy is currently attending the Nesting Lotus Aquanatal sessions and attending a pregnancy yoga class helping her to maintain her active lifestyle in an appropriate manner for her and baby.
