The highlight of my week is often Friday mornings with Kangatraining.
The wonderful parents, the adorable babies and toddlers, the laughs and the connection with others are all part of the Kangatraining experience.

Kanga squats hit different.
Squats are a great functional everyday movement. We pick up kids, we pick up all the things all of the time from all of the floors.
In the post partum period narrow squats protect our pelvic floor and core from extra strain, which is why we love squats at Kanga.

Happy Thursday.
Spots still available for tomorrow and Saturday.

Every parent has had there first Kangatraining class. It can be daunting to try something new for the very first time. But you are welcome.

There are many Return to Exercise programs for mum. How do you decide what is right for you? Here are some questions that your should ask.

🌸 When can I return to exercise?
Your body needs time to recover after a baby. 6 weeks for vaginal births and 12
weeks for C Sections is recommended.
🌸 Has the instructor had training in supporting the post natal body?
Our pelvic floor and core does so much work during pregnancy and needs special
attention and care post birth. Some exercises can be damaging to our bodies and
a trained postpartum instructor will keep you safe and help build you back up.
🌸 Does my instructor know about Dram and pelvic floor instability?
We don't all recover the same and your instructor should know about the
differences in our bodies after baby.
🌸 Will my instructor tailor my program to my unique needs?
We all have different levels of fitness and recovery and this should be catered for.
🌸 Is it safe to wear my baby?
Most postpartum programs are not designed for babywearing and if it involves
babywearing, is your instructor trained and insured in safe babywearing practices?

Kangatraining is for Saturday mornings.

FLASH BACK FRIDAY.
