This has got to be one of the most common questions we get from mums returning to exercise. The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. 

Every birth, postpartum recovery, and even every baby is different, meaning the right time to take the next step will vary for each mum. There are so many factors to consider, for example birth injuries but we hope this helps you feel more confident knowing when you can progress from rehab workouts into other workouts. 

We know that exercise during pregnancy it can be really overwhelming and hard to know what to do and what not to do. In this blog we’ll cover 6 important things you need to know about exercising during pregnancy.

Since becoming a mum, I’ve noticed how much more in tune we get with our bodies, especially month to month. My cycle has such a big impact on my energy, motivation, and how I approach exercise. Some weeks I feel unstoppable, smashing out workouts and I'm able to do long runs, while other days my pelvic floor strength just isn't there and just rolling out the mat feels like a mission…. Spoiler alert - it’s not just in my head!

Pregnancy is your time to embrace a maintenance phase - a time to focus on sustaining your strength and energy, rather than chasing personal bests or trying something new. In this blog we discuss why modifying your exercise as you progress through your pregnancy is important and when you need to start thinking about making those modifications.

For me, balance in 2025 is about rebuilding trust in my postpartum body - taking it step by step toward feeling stronger and more energised. As a mum of three beautiful girls, and a business owner, balance often feels impossible, but I’m learning that it’s not about being perfect - it’s about finding small, meaningful ways to prioritise me.

As mums, we’re constantly evolving - both in our roles as parents, and in our personal fitness journeys. For me, the idea of "growth" in exercise doesn’t mean pushing myself to extremes, but rather, finding ways to move forward at a pace that suits me and nurtures my body. Whether it's getting stronger, more flexible, or simply making time to move, growth is about progress, not perfection.

As I look toward 2025, I’m setting a goal that once felt out of reach: to run another marathon. This time, it’s about more than just crossing the finish line. It’s about proving to myself that I’m stronger than the challenges I’ve faced. My mantra for this journey is simple: move with purpose. I’m taking it one step at a time, listening to my body, and embracing the process.

Here are our top tips to help you sneak in a little more nutrients and movement, whilst enjoying everything that the summer season is all about!
