After giving birth, post-natal aqua exercises are the counterparts of aqua pregnancy helping to realign and ‘close the body’, as well as toning and strengthening the muscles of the pelvis and lower back. Water is uniquely healing for the perineum and a good medium in which to tone the pelvic floor muscles. Breathing remains an essential aspect of aqua workout.
Rather than aiming to simply ‘get back to normal’ the new mother’s goal can be to create a new strength and stamina which are no less than those of the body before pregnancy but have been enriched by the transformation of birth and the fulfilment that being a mother can bring.
The aims of InspireMum™ Post-Natal Aqua are:
- to realign the spine and strengthen the spinal muscles
- to tone and strengthen the abdominal muscles
- to regain full tone of the pelvic floor muscles
- to energize without strain in a short movement, relaxing at the same time
- to tone and remodel your figure safely
- to get ready to swim with your baby
After pregnancy it is necessary to realign the spine. Standing in the water allows the maximum stretch between the hip bones and ribs as arms are lifted above the head. InspireMum™ Post-Natal Aqua makes use of deep breathing in relaxed stretches that are easier and safer in water than on land.
For those who have had a Caesarean section, some postnatal aqua twists and stretches will be most beneficial, while deep breathing can help to heal the scar tissue.
