What is CorreCoching?

It’s a fun and sociable way to get out of the house and into shape after
you have had a baby.
We exercise in fresh air first doing a low impact aerobic workout and then gentle toning using simple pieces of equipment- your pram being one of them.
Meanwhile your baby is near you so there is no need to pay for a babysitter, express milk or worry about your baby while you do an activity for yourself.

Benefits of postpartum exercise

The benefits of exercise are the same for new mums as for anyone else- better health, increased energy, more efficient metabolism, better sleep and of course weight loss and toning.
The postpartum period is traditionally a sedentary time making it even more important that you make the effort to get on the move once in a while.
Benefits of CorreCoching particularly relevant to new mums are: making friends and contacts, getting out of the house (at least once in the day!), relief of “baby-blues”, aids recovery of pelvic floor muscles, doing something for yourself and feeling good.

It helps baby to sleep, too…!

Precautions

Do not exercise until you have had the all-clear from your doctor. This is usually 6 weeks for a vaginal birth and at least 10 weeks for a caesarean.
Make sure you eat something small about an hour before the class and again eat something afterwards to replenish your energy.
Keep hydrated, we do ‘watering’ stops along the route.
Wear a hat and sunscreen when it’s hot.
Inform the group leader if you feel light-headed, dizzy or ill at any point.

Do not exercise if you are exceptionally tired and exhausted.
