I had a lazy weekend and didn't leave the flat for two days. I also ate the last of the Easter chocolate and a takeaway curry, so on Monday I really wanted to get out and move about.
Monday morning was a bit windy and rainy but me and the little one wrapped up and walked to the park for my first outdoor Ready Steady Mums session. The session was led by a lovely volunteer and as the weather seemed to have kept others away she adapted her session plan to suit me. Lucky me! The focus was on gentle movement - walking and swinging my arms, and pushing the pram while doing kicks and lunges - and strengthening my core through stretching and balancing exercises.
The baby cried a bit to begin with but as soon as we started exercising with the pram it rocked her to sleep and she stayed like that for the rest of the session and I was able to keep my focus on the workout. I felt good afterwards and re-motivated. I felt all the benefits and no twinges or discomfort, and that has given me a confidence boost. I definitely must do more of the same.
