Buggy Walks
A great incentive to just get out the house!
|
Active Mums Club Events page
|
The walks are a great place to meet other new mums and mums-to-be, and the conversations both during the walk and after have been so valuable to
many mums already. The walks are pushchair friendly and have a café near by for that all important cuppa. We are also open to suggestions of new
places to walk in the county, so if you have any great ideas, please let us know!
The walks are
free to join in and will be happening throughout the winter. In the case of inclement weather, a decision will be made on the day if the
walk will continue. However we will
always meet for the all important cuppa at the start/end point so even if the walk cannot go ahead please come and see us for a brew and a
chat.

All walks can be found on our
events page or

Move Events
Active Mums take over the Meadows!
|
The Move events have proved to be extremely popular with our amazing active mums, who enjoyed 3 free, 30 minute workout sessions to music on
Everards Meadows in Enderby. Rain or shine you mums came out in force and we all enjoyed a short workout!
We are planning some more events in the future, both online and in person, as well as getting our wonderful team of
Ambassadors involved. There may also be some impromptu pop up events so please keep an eye on our social media accounts, especially if the
weather looks good 😉
About Move classes - These are are great opportunity to test out a mum and baby class without the commitment. We do more structured
exercise but, most of all have fun. Babies are welcome, if they need attention, picking up, feeding, cry, it is not a problem. We want you to be in
a relaxed atmosphere where you can get some movement in between the babies schedule.
If
you
have not had your 6 week check (12 for c-section)
or you have any pregnancy complications
unfortunately
it is
not
suitable
for you. But if you are unsure at all please just ask us
😊

Grab a Cuppa - Ask an expert
In September we had a lovely Chat with Chloe who is a breastfeeding peer supporter and owns a bra shop, we talked about breastfeeding, specifically
cluster and how we need to normalise this a bit more. Exercising and making sure you have the right fitting bra, and why this is so important.
You can catch up on it on all our
Facebook page ,
Insta and
Spotify feeds.
Is there an expert you would really like us to get on this slot, please let us know, we are always open to new ideas.
The best way to keep up to date with any of our events, is follow our social pages as we regularly post what's going on where and when.
