New ‘Fitness For Mums’ Group

Selina Wright, of Red E Personal Training, became aware of the gap in fitness training specifically for post-natal mothers, after the birth of her daughter almost five years ago.

Having spent 19 years in the industry, Selina is no newcomer to training females, and has recently shifted her personal training to be exclusively for mums, including her “Fit Mums Foundations: Return to Exercise” Post Natal program.

Fit Mums Foundations is a six-week program, emphasising education and exercise for new mums from at least six weeks postpartum.

Rebuilding from the inside out, the mums begin with core re-training, then progress to functional movements and more traditional strength training exercises.

Once graduating the program, with the knowledge to continue independently, mums may wish to return to their pre-pregnancy training programs - crossfit, HIIT training, weight training, or sport - however, they are also welcomed to continue training with Selina in her “Fit Mums” sessions.

“I wouldn’t be where I am now, if not for the foundational class,” one of Selina’s graduates has said.

Selina prides herself on her commitment to new mothers, and their fitness.

“I am extremely passionate about helping mums return safely to exercise after having a baby,” she said.

“I believe there is a huge lack of information in this area, and I hope to play a part in bridging that gap, so that mums can go back to doing the things they love, in time.”

Selina will be at the Positive Pregnancy and Birth Expo this Saturday, May 13, 9am to 1pm.
