Body after second baby – an update on my postpartum journey

Learning to help myself – my top 5 tips to feeling better
Some time ago I reached a point where I felt quite unwell, physically and mentally.

When Noah was two months old I decided it was time to slowly get back into exercising and eating a bit healthier (see my previous post about the Mindful Chef recipe box). After my first baby Maia was born I purchased the Sweat app and did Kayla Itsines’s BBG 1 & 2 to get back Read More

It’s been six months since Maia was born – time to check in with my post partum fitness journey! When I started this blog and called it “Fit City Mum” I worried I was jinxing it. I wasn’t even pregnant and had no idea if I would be and whether my aspirations to stay fit Read More
Postnatal training update- 5/12 weeks of BBG 1 done!
I started the Bikini Body Guide (BBG) exercise programme four months after giving birth and I’ve been doing it at home for a month now, five weeks to be exact.
