New exercise programme starts next week – free tasters
Edinburgh Leisure is offering free taster sessions for a new exercise programme, ‘Mums on the Run’, designed specifically for new mums (and dads) with buggies.
The free taster sessions will run from Monday 25th April – Monday 2nd May inclusive at several Edinburgh Leisure venues across the city and any mums (or dads) with a baby in a buggy can join in. All the sessions will be outside.
Based on the latest research, the class will offer guidance, advice and solutions to help mums across the city enjoy the social and psychological benefits of getting out and being active.
Ally Flannigan, Fitness Class Manager, said: “Getting back into exercise after having a baby can be an uphill struggle. With reduced sleep and trying to get into a new routine, exercise may seem like the last thing on a new mother’s mind.
“However our new class, which will take place outdoors, is designed to be fun, and will be a great opportunity to meet new mums (and dads) and workout at the same time. We’ll be gaining feedback from the new parents trying to get back in to exercise to help shape the programme before it goes live.”
To book, contact the relevant Edinburgh Leisure venue. The free taster sessions are available to both members and non-members.
