Aerobics for mums?

[Mindy1970]

Hi

I'm new to mumsnet Swindon!

I have a 10 week old baby girl and as well as finding out about interesting Mum & baby things happening in the area (I'm about to do a baby massage course!) I am also keen to get back into shape. I particularly enjoy high impact aerobics but can't seem to find a good class with a creche in the area (I know the Link Centre and Oasis have classes but yoga-based stuff is too gentle for me and I don't want to do Step as it'll bulk up my legs (which are bulky enough thanks!) and Body Pump doesn't interest me (yes, fussy, I know!) Anyone know of a good aerobics class in the area or will I have to stick to my aerobics DVDs in the lounge? I also enjoy running. Cheers. M

Hi Mindy, there is a "Wheelie-fit" class in Watchfield near Swindon which you go to with your baby. I am the teacher actually and am a qualified physiotherapist and aerobics instructor. The class includes some running or jogging, aswell as all-over toning exercises, pelvic floor etc - you are able to work as hard as you like and I am also there to tailor exercises to your particular requirements. I also teach aerobics on a Monday night and Thursday morning in Watchfield Jubilee Centre but there is no creche available, sorry. Email me on [email protected] if you fancy the classes and want more information. Cat x

Hi there
Nuffield Gym (previously known as Cannons) do a 6-week post-natal course - it is fairly lightweight - you do step, yoga, body balance, etc but you get to meet a bunch of new mums and as the babies are in with you, you can tend to them as and when needed.
Highly recommended - teacher is Annette if you contact the gym and ask for details.
Alternatively her website is fitforbaby.co.uk
