Active Mums Club Walking Events

Meeting Location for Melton

We have launched our walking events this summer ๐Ÿคฉ with our 1st walk in Loughborough. It was so lovely to meet some of you there and we can't wait for the rest.

There are a number of dates confirmed around the county so hopefully you can find one close to you soon. All walks all listed on our events page and we will put reminders out on our socials, so be sure to be following us and let us know if you can come.

With these walks hope that it can introduce you to local places to walk and also make connections with other local mums and mums-to-be. We have looked for places that are pushchair friendly and have a cafรฉ near by. We have a few lined up but if you have any suggestions please let us know.

Our next walk is 9th of July from Melton County park. Starting at 2pm - we will take a walk around the park and then grab a cuppa and a chat.

After that we have 27th of July from Jenno's Everards Meadows at 10am.

These events are and there will be some Active Mums Club goodies ๐Ÿ˜
We can't wait to see you there.

Welcome to Our New Ambassadors

Nurtured Baby and Me

Active Mums Club have recruited a number of Ambassadors from around Leicestershire. Ambassadors are qualified pre and post natal physical activity instructors, alongside having a wide range of skills and knowledge to support mums and mums to be!

You may have seen on our socials we have welcomed not one but 2 new amazing ambassadors to our team.

First up lets introduce you to Kelly From Nurtured Baby and Me.
'I'm Kelly, owner of Nurtured Baby & Me. It's a huge passion of mine to support you from pregnancy, birth and beyond. Connection and community are at the heart of all my classes so there will always be time to chat to the other mums/mums-to-be.

My pregnancy yoga & relaxation class is designed to nurture and support you throughout your pregnancy, strengthen the body in preparation for birth whilst alleviating common aches and pains.
Yoga and relaxation for mums is designed to both strengthen and reconnect with your body but also support your emotional well-being too.
Both sessions end with a guided calming relaxation to ease any stress or anxieties and allow you to feel recharged and relaxed.'

Kelly's pregnancy and post natal classes are based in Quorn.
Give Kelly a follow and find a class local to you ๐Ÿ˜

Leanne

Birth-hood

Leanne from Birth-hood

'I'm Leanne an absolute birth nerd here to support you throughout the perinatal period, physically, emotionally and educationally.

I offer support to you as you progress through pregnancy and into parenthood with deepened knowledge of pregnancy and postpartum as well as physiology so you're in safe hands!

My passion for activity has been with me throughout life, though now I get to team it with my other passion of the perinatal period.

Yoga is such a beneficial activity in pregnancy and postpartum as it moves you gently, connecting you physically and emotionally to your changing body, strengthening it and allowing you to feel the benefits in labour and as your body adapts to parenthood! Come check it out!'

Leanne's classes are based around the North West Leicestershire area.

Let's Get Moving at Home

Active Mums Club 'At Home' series has been created for you to try workouts, exercise routines and stretches at home. We know that sometimes you want to get moving but for whatever reason you cant get out and about that day. The series is designed to help fill that gap for you, some are live follow along video's and some have the instructions on the videos to follow.

A new video will be released every month exclusively to our club members first, through our newsletters. They will also feature on our YouTube channel so if there is ever any you missed or want to try again they are all there for you.

Always make sure you warm up properly before doing any exercise and stretch after.

The video this month is an upper body workout, if you are short on time this one is great and can be extended if you want to make it harder, add an additional rounds. Suitable for after birth, once you have had your GP checks. Follow along with the video. Let us know how you find it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Post natal return to movement guide

Week by week by Jo

Post Natal Return to Movement Guide

One of our Active Mums Club ambassadors, Jo Waller has written a week by week guide to return to physical activity after the birth of your child. Check out the link to view.

We know having a baby is life changing and with it comes so many physical changes and stresses. You may not have been active during pregnancy or you may have carried on right until birth, either way after birth you need to start gradually and build up. This guide will help you as a starting point with some suggestions.

Under the post natal page on our website you will also find a host of different types of activities available as well as when and where they are.
