Returning to Running after Having a Baby 🏃‍♀️

As anyone who’s had a baby will tell you, pregnancy and childbirth is a marathon not a sprint. Nine months of growing and delivering a baby can have some profound effects on your body which even the most dedicated runner should bear in mind before strapping on their running shoes again postpartum. There has been relatively little scientific research done into returning to running postnatally, and it’s fair to say that there is no one-size fits all prescriptive approach, but here we take an objective look at a new mum’s route back to running.

As she returned to work, one of our members recently told us:

“It’s been the best warm up to nursery for my little girl. She’s loved all of the interaction with the other children and getting to play with different toys each week.”

And it struck us that this was a benefit to Busylizzy membership that hadn’t really occurred to us before. That our classes represent a great stepping stone from maternity leave to future childcare settings.

The Benefits Of Working Out When Pregnant - Top 10 reasons to exercise when pregnant 🤰

From the moment you are pregnant, you will start to recognise that there is an increased demand on the body as a direct result of your growing baby. To allow your body to cope with these demands, it will very cleverly start to make changes to increase the body’s functional and physiological capacity and capability to sustain the pregnancy. Therefore, during pregnancy, there are even more reasons to keep moving — or to get moving, even if you haven’t got a regular exercise routine.

Check out our blog for our top 10 reasons to help you get started ⬇

For the first few weeks of your baby’s life, you can rest assured that all your little one needs is you!

Every day is a school day when you’re a newborn, and you’ll notice that even short periods of stimulation will leave them exhausted and in need of another nap! But as they get bigger, have longer awake periods and develop a natural sense of curiosity about the world around them, baby classes and activities can form a really important part of their development.

But it’s not just the little ones who will benefit from getting out and about! For parents, baby groups and classes provide a safe space to bond with their baby – away from the distractions of day to day life.

Pregnancy can be a wonderful experience. It can also be pretty horrible, leaving some women feeling sick, exhausted and wishing those 40 weeks away! Or it can sit somewhere in the middle of the two! No two pregnancies are the same and sadly it’s not the case that all mums-to-be have that ‘glow’ of pregnancy radiance!

Perhaps you had a fairly grim start to pregnancy and then found that the hallowed second trimester magicked away those feelings of nausea and tiredness? Or maybe you sailed through the first 20 or 30 weeks only to find that life became significantly less comfortable as you reached the home straight!

But however you’re feeling, know that this is an amazing thing you’re doing. Growing another human being – feeding their life force with your own. And that can be exhausting! Not just because you need extra energy to sustain their growth, but also because of the dramatic changes in your own body which throw you off balance, pull things out of alignment and give you backache, pelvic pain, stop you sleeping… the list goes on.

So it’s really key that you look after yourself – because that in turn is looking after your baby! Here are a few things that you can do to help keep energy levels up and common pregnancy ailments at bay!

Being kind is one of the first things we teach our little ones when they start playing with other children. But it’s only been quite recently that we’ve started to talk about being kind to ourselves. And when you become a mum, recognising the need to give yourself a break – both in real terms and psychologically – is important.

Because being a mum is hard – really hard! And then we put huge pressure on ourselves to be good at it all the time, and feel horribly guilty when we allow ourselves a moment to moan about it, or some time ‘off’ being a mum.

Diastasis Recti (aka Abdominal Separation) - What is it, how do you spot it and what can you do about it?

During pregnancy the right and left halves of the re**us abdominis muscles separate to accommodate your growing baby. In postpartum this gap can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 9 months to reduce.

Everyone’s recovery is going to be different and a third of all new mums will have some level of diastasis recti.

Empowering Mums: Busylizzy’s Pregnancy and Mum&Baby Programs

Pregnancy and motherhood are transformative experiences that bring joy and fulfillment but also come with their set of challenges.

Recognising this need, Busylizzy has crafted specialised Pregnancy and Mum&Baby Programmes, aiming to empower women to embrace a fit and active lifestyle, even during the busiest phases of their lives.

It seems that as soon as you even think about having a baby the counting starts!

Counting days, weeks and months. It doesn't seem to stop, even after giving birth. Counting the time to the next feed, how many feeds? How long are the feeds? How many sleeps? How long did they sleep? (When did you last sleep!) Even how many dirty nappies in a day! 🤯

Even though, in the beginning a day can feel like a week. Soon the anxiety of those weeks flashing by starts and the dreaded count down to the end of maternity leave seems to loom over the horizon. Has anyone else felt like this...or just me? 🙋‍♀️ There seems to be a pressure to make that first year so amazing. The need to be that mum who has shrunk back into those pre pregnancy clothes in a matter of minutes, have a baby that sleeps through the night after a week, makes its own meals at 6 months and is riding a bike by the age of one.

If you have managed to get out of your pyjamas by the middle of the day, met a friend for a coffee or even succeeded in buying everything on your shopping list without having to go back to the supermarket at least 2 times (baby brain!) That's a parent win in my books. 😇

If you didn't manage any of those things today and you are reading this whilst wearing yesterday's pyjamas, no stress, you’re still doing an amazing job. 🙌

And at the end of the day...that's all that counts! 😘

Having a routine, a place to go, friendly people to meet and an activity to do, can do wonders for your sanity. That's where being a busylizzy member can give your days focus. You may not feel 100 percent, the dishes may be piled high but who cares.

This is where the Busylizzy Mum&Baby Programme steps in, offering a comprehensive solution tailored to the needs of new mothers and their little ones.

Whilst on maternity leave, co- founders, Sarah, a solicitor and Julie, a leisure professional looked to improve every aspect of the pregnancy and postnatal fitness provision. Major gym chains frequently struggled to accommodate the needs of pregnancy and postnatal clients, whilst individual trainers lacked flexibility and the class variety new parents craved. Recognising the traditional gym didn’t work for their evolving new lifestyle, Busylizzy was born!

The unique Busylizzy concept is really simple. Our clubs provide parents with a wide variety of classes tailored to your needs as a new or expectant new parent. Every session is led by a pre / postnatal expert who is knowledgeable and will leave you feeling well prepared, supported and celebrated during this special time.

In addition to the fitness classes, the Busylizzy boutique club concept expanded to include baby classes, social events and parenting workshops - giving parents a truly unique maternity experience they can enjoy whilst meeting other like minded new friends.

With nursery fees at an all-time high, hovering around £15,000* per annum per child, it’s understandable that many families are weighing up their options and considering whether returning to work is financially viable.

One of the biggest concerns for parents, particularly mothers, is giving up a significant portion of their income towards childcare expenses. This can make enrolling children in full-time nursery care a daunting prospect, leaving many parents struggling to find a solution that works for their family.

Fortunately, there is an alternative solution for parents to explore. Busylizzy franchise owners coordinate classes, workshops, and events for babies, toddlers, postnatal and pregnant women, and manage their own schedules and clubs to accommodate their needs. With the flexibility to bring their little ones to classes and to work from home planning classes, events and social media, franchise owners can reduce the need for costly nursery care, giving parents the freedom to work without sacrificing their family’s wellbeing.

We understand that finding the right balance between work and family life can be a challenge, but with Busylizzy’s flexible franchise model, parents can enjoy the best of both worlds. So why not consider joining our community of like-minded parents and find out more about the benefits of running your own Busylizzy franchise?
