So today was B-day (Buggyfit day!) and I was a little
nervous about surviving my first class. I’m not the naturally athletic sort and
I had visions of skinny yummy mummies outsprinting me while I struggled to push
my Silver Cross up a hill. I needn’t have worried. The other mums were lovely
(there were about eight of us) and the instructor was friendly and welcoming.
She also had her own baby with her, which was reassuring; it felt like we were
all in the same boat.
The class was a mix of power walking, circuit-type exercises
and some group and paired stuff using those stretchy resistance bands. It’s
satisfyingly challenging but very doable, even for me; however you are always
offered a less challenging alternative, for example, you can power walk instead
of running. The hour flew by and the fact that we were outside in the sunshine
made it more enjoyable; it was so much nicer than being in a sweaty gym.
Whether doing a Buggyfit class once a week will vanquish the
mum tum once and for all remains to be seen, but I definitely felt happy and
energetic at the end of the session, and felt that my week was off to a good
start. I’ll definitely be back! Now all I have to do is cut down on chocolate…
