Mums and BabiesMother and Baby Many women find it daunting to even think about exercise at this time. Unable to focus on oneself for more than a few minutes without interruption, it's almost easier to ignore one's own body entirely. For most women it is months and sometimes years before they will be able to get to a regular class.

After each of my pregnancies I have struggled to lose weight and regain my fitness for my work as an aerobics instructor.. I know exactly what the problems are both in practice and in theory.

This is a difficult time, physically and psychologically. There is more reason than at any other time to care for your body, which has just taken a hammering… but there is less time, energy and opportunity than ever before.

Clients often ask for advice when they cannot get to class. So a realistic, motivating exercise and nutrition programme was what I set out to make.

I wanted the video/DVD to be informative, encouraging and of course, enjoyable, as a real class would be. Some of my friends/clients are in the film; these are mums to about 35 children at the last count. The women in the video/DVD are at different stages of fitness. I've trained many women through several pregnancies. Women can go back again and again to their pre-pregnancy shape. Many end up a lot fitter than they ever were when they were deskbound.

Getting Back is designed primarily for mothers of new babies, however, only 12 minutes out of 72 minutes is for the early weeks post baby. The Rest of Your Life Exercise is broken into five sections (approximately ten minutes each) to use altogether or one at a time – for the rest of your life. You may only have five minutes to spare – or the full fifty minutes – but the important thing is that any exercise counts.

The Last Section offers sensible and important information on fat facts, energy and nutrition to encourage a healthy approach to eating – again, for the rest of your life.
