Post natal training specifics

It is recommended to start training not earlier than 6 months after delivery. This is the best time for your body to fully recover. And of course, you should definitely consult a specialist, since each body is unique.

Valeria Ivashchenko – fitness-director at BodyArt fitness – recommends having individual training sessions with a personal trainer. This will help to get the desired shape quickly and without harm. However, if you cannot afford training with a personal instructor, BodyArt fitness offers many useful and harmless group classes that will suit young mothers.

It is very important to know that during breastfeeding, working on chest muscles and internal muscles of the thighs is contraindicated. It is also not recommended to attend high-intensity aerobic classes due to heavy sweating. Active training contributes to the intensive development of sodium tripolyphosphate (lactic acid) in mother’s milk. Experts say that this substance is poisonous to a baby. Therefore, nursing mum is recommended to avoid jumping, aerobic exercise and sudden movements.

What group trainings would be good to attend after childbirth

BodyArt fitness offers a whole range of Mind & Body classes that are perfect for nursing mothers.

Easy Stretching is perfect for developing body flexibility. The training includes elements of such disciplines as yoga and pilates. The class is held with special elastic wraps, and is aimed at stretching, relaxation, developing strength and tone up of all muscle groups.


There is also an opportunity to try something special that you will not find in other clubs. Sky Yoga is an interesting new class of antigravity yoga that uses special hammocks where asanas (poses) are performed. This class contributes not only to achieving the desired results in losing weight, but also aims to balance the body and soul.  And this is an excellent cure for a postpartum depression. For those who prefer “ground” classes, the club may also offer regular yoga for all fitness levels.

Every mother knows how much harm pregnancy can do to the spine. The Healthy Back group class is aimed at relaxing and stretching the spinal cord, as well as improving the mobility of the musculoskeletal system.

Callanetics is especially effective for weight loss, a class with a statistical load that targets deep muscles to tone them up.

Other nice bonuses for young mummies

After a workout, you can have a relaxing massage, because the BodyArt fitness has its own cosmetology with all sorts of cosmetic procedures that are especially useful after childbirth.

For those who have children from three years and above will be glad to know that we offer kids classes as well. They include rhythmic gymnastics, karate, mixed martial arts and other trainings aimed at the most diverse development of a child, improving dexterity and coordination.
