Dear F4T Moms & Moms-to-be,

After an extremely busy and eventful January, we are already into February, which is not only the month of love, but also Pregnancy Education Month, and Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Month.

FEBRUARY SPECIAL!!!!

This month, we have brought back the Saturday 8:45am Postnatal class, so please be sure to book your spot😊

Also, don’t forget that we run Clinical Pilates classes on a Tuesday and a Thursday morning at 6:30am. These are not pre or post-natal specific classes, so feel free to bring your hubby’s, friends and family along😊

We are excited to announce the opening of two more Fit 4 Two branches this month, in Randpark Ridge, and in Centurion, please check out our website to view the class schedules.

We would like to Congratulate Kayla on the birth of her little boy, Liam, this month, and wish her a wonderful maternity leave.  We welcome two new Biokineticists, Rachel and Hayley to the Fit 4 Two team, and they will be instructing classes at the Blairgowrie branch, as well as Randpark, and Rosebank branches.

We have lots of F4T babies due this month, so don’t forget to PLEASE send us a picture of you and your little angel so we can put it up on our wall of fame 😊

Our TLC 4 MOMS group, facilitated by Counselling Psychologist Megan, is up and running for the year, and we have partnered up with Sister Debbie Hooper, who will be running a weekly baby clinic, which will take place every Tuesday at 9am, at our Blairgowrie branch. TLC 4 MOMS will be happening every Tuesday from 10am-12pm. The weekly talks will include refreshments and snacks, and remember you can claim back from medical aid for the sessions😊 We will also host a monthly moms and babes morning, where a guest speaker will present, this month we had Dietician Taryn Botz give a very informative talk on healthy maternal nutrition.

Exercise of the month:

Cat stretch- great for stretching out and mobilising your spine, either during pregnancy, or postpartum

 

Cat stretch Kneel on your hands and knees, with hands directly under your shoulders and feet relaxed. Start with your spine in a neutral position. Exhale to arch your back up towards the ceiling as pictured, inhale to flatten your back down into an extended position, keeping your abdominal muscles tight so you aren’t just sinking into the back. 10 reps
Rest Position Separate your knees and sit back onto your heels with arms stretched out in front of you.Hold for 30 seconds

Exercise tip of the month:

Try to accumulate 30 mins of activity on most days of the week
and remember that exercise is cumulative, so it doesn’t have to be all in one go
chasing a toddler for 5 minutes,6 times a day definitely counts!!!
