After volunteering over 1,500 hours of his personal time to supporting post-natal women across the city and gaining his post-natal qualification, Edinburgh based personal trainer, Peter Lap has drawn on all of this insight and launched a podcast dedicated to supporting post-natal women across the city and beyond.
Moving away from the often-harmful discussions around ‘bouncing back to pre-baby weight’, the Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast explores everything related to post-natal health including common conditions and how to cure them, recommended exercises, nutrition, mindset and much more.
After gaining his post-natal qualification, Peter started training several clients who had recently given birth. Surprised by their shared experiences of post-natal care, or lack thereof, he decided to donate 10 hours per week of his own time to supporting post-natal women across the city.
Peter Lap, founder of Healthy Post Natal Body said: “Volunteering my own time over the last three years has given me a tremendous amount of insight into what was missing with regards to physical post-natal care and what women really needed from a post-natal program.
“Too many women I spoke with were unaware that their ‘mum tum’ was in fact Diastasis Recti, a common and most importantly curable medical condition.”
Peter Lap, said: “Post-natal fitness is not a cosmetic or aesthetic issue, it’s a women’s health issue and it should be accessible for everyone. That’s what this podcast is all about.”
Peter Lap is also founder of Healthy Post Natal Body is an affordable monthly online subscription (£8 pcm) service that focuses on the physical health and wellbeing of women who have given birth.
The online forum is packed with useful advice and weekly routines, focuses on the physical health and wellbeing of women who have given birth.
