Shaping Up

by Meg Walker
continued from page 3
Find a post-natal exercise teacher near you

The Guild of Post-natal Exercise Teachers has a register of qualified people on their website.

If you can't find a class near you, investigate a ‘low impact’ class. Arrive early and let the teacher know you have just had a baby. He or she should encourage you not to jump, bounce or use jerky movements. Only do what feels right for your body, make sure the music doesn’t feel too fast, and build up your strength gradually.

A useful book:

The Complete Guide to Post-natal Fitness by Judy DiFiore £13.99 ISBN 0 7136 4852 X
