If you're running, or thinking about getting started, there's something I really want you to understand about how your body manages the demands of running.

Running isn't just about cardiovascular fitness. Your body needs strength to support it too!

Every time your foot hits the ground, your body is absorbing forces of around 2–3 times your body weight.

Now think about how many steps you take during a run. That's a LOT of repetitive force going through your muscles, joints and pelvic floor!

While running is fantastic for improving your cardiovascular fitness, it doesn't necessarily build all the strength and stability your body needs to manage those forces.

This is why I'm always encouraging women to include strength training alongside their running.

And I know what some of you are thinking... where on earth am I supposed to find MORE time to exercise?!

The good news is that you don't need to spend hours in the gym to build strength for running.

A few short, targeted strength sessions each week, focusing on things like single-leg strength, hip stability, core and calf strength, can make a real difference to how well your body copes with running.

Whether you're wanting to start running or you've been running for years, building strength is something I really encourage you to prioritise.

What's your biggest challenge at the moment?

🏃‍♀️ Finding the time to fit running into your already busy life?

🏃‍♀️ Worrying about injury or whether your body is strong enough?

🏃‍♀️ Not knowing where to start?

Or perhaps you're already running but struggling with something else?

I'd genuinely love to hear from you, so share with me in the comments!

Nikki :)

Have you ever finished a workout and thought, “Was that really enough to make a difference?”

Perhaps you only managed 15 minutes when you’d planned for 45, or you’ve only squeezed in one workout this week when you were hoping for three.

When life is busy, particularly when you’re juggling work, kids and everything else that comes with being a mum, it’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough.

However, building strength and improving your fitness doesn’t happen in one workout. It’s the accumulation of all those small efforts over time that creates change.

Just like the tide gradually comes in, your strength builds with every workout, every repetition and every time you make the effort to move your body.

Some weeks you’ll manage three workouts. Other weeks you might only manage one. And that’s ok!

So rather than dismissing what you’ve achieved because it wasn’t as much as you’d planned, recognise that you’ve still taken a step towards building a stronger, healthier body.

Something I always say to my clients: “any movement is better than no movement at all”.

If you would like help finding ways to build your strength and fitness, bit by bit and in a way that works with mumlife, send me a DM. I’d love to chat!

So much of what happens to the body during menopause gets dismissed as something to accept without question and I don’t think that is good enough.

Understanding what is actually happening in your body is the first step toward doing something about it, whatever that looks like for you.

What's one thing you wish you'd known about menopause sooner? Share it in the comments below.

Hi! 👋 We are Nikki and Nicole and we are your team of trainers at The Postnatal Movement Club.

In addition to our Cert 4 in Personal Training, we are both accredited Safe Return to Exercise postnatal trainers, with Nikki also a MumSafeTM Level 2 trainer.

What does this mean? It means that we program our sessions specifically to support postnatal women in their return to exercise. Sessions focus on building core, supporting your pelvic floor and building your foundational strength so that you feel strong and confident in your body.

We tailor our sessions so that every mum is supported in their sessions, according to their individual bodies. We bring a library full of exercises so that you feel well supported regardless of whether you have had a c-section, vaginal birth, have wrist pain, pelvic pain, back pain, weak pelvic floor, sore knees or anything else!

We offer postnatal exercise sessions in Huskisson, Basinview and Nowra.

Over the next two weeks, we will be offering trial sessions and have a few spots available in our sessions.

Send through a message to book in your trial. We would love to support you in your return to exercise!

Our mission at Body 4 Mind Connections is to help women build strength and confidence in their body.

So receiving this feedback from Ace is really special.

How amazing that we have the privilege of supporting women during this stage of their life!

If this is the kind of support you're looking for, trials are now open for The Postnatal Movement Club!

We offer sessions in Nowra, Huskisson and Basinview.

Trials start this week. Send a message now for info or to book in a trial!

Don’t let lack of childcare stand in your way when returning to exercise!
Here at The Postnatal Movement Club we expect babies and young children to be with their mums (but also welcome you if you have found that hour child-free!).

We get that sometimes babies are unsettled, need a hug, need a feed or even a change. That’s ok, we work with how you and baby are showing up on the day!

Sessions are run by an accredited Safe Return to Exercise postnatal exercise specialist, ensuring the exercises that you do are safe and effective for your body at your individual stage of returning to exercise.
We focus on building core strength, supporting your pelvic floor and building strength in your body.

Plus, our trainers are mums themselves, so cuddling an unsettled baby, a child that needs a little entertaining or another watchful mum-eye while you exercise is an added bonus!

Our trial sessions start next week and we are taking bookings for our final spots.

Sessions are held in Huskisson, Basinview and Nowra.

Send us a message to book in your trial.

Every mum's postnatal training deserves to be built around her, not around a one size fits all list of what postnatal women are allowed to do.

If this is the kind of support you're looking for, trials are now open for The Postnatal Movement Club!

We offer sessions in Nowra, Huskisson and Basinview.

Send a message now for info or to book in a trial!

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about The Postnatal Movement Club.

Starting exercise after having baby can feel a little scary. Knowing that you are coming into a supportive environment, with qualified postnatal trainers who know how to support your body, but who are mums themselves and understand mumlife, can make all the difference.

Trials sessions at The Postnatal Movement Clib start next week.

We have a few spots remaining across our Huskisson, Basinview and Nowra sessions. Sent us a message now. We would love to book you in for a trial.

Ps know a newly postnatal mum who would love some support? Share this reel with them!

The kids really wanted to recreate this trend…. 😂
Atleast it entertained us for 10 mins 🤪

Training is only part of what we offer here. The other part is a community that gets it, the late nights, the parts of motherhood nobody warns you about, the days training feels impossible and the days it's the only thing that helps.

If you've been looking for people who understand that the motherhood journey isn't simple, you've found them.

Book in for a trial and see how this community is a great fit for you!
