Zest’s Features Editor, takes up Buggyfit.
“With my “mum tum” to get rid of and no time for the gym, Buggyfit at my local park is perfect for me. The instructor gets us power walking and jogging with our prams, then we do mini circuits of squats, lunges and moves with weighted balls. And it doesn’t matter if our babies cry, we can just feed them and rejoin the class. I always feel exhilarated afterwards”

There’s nothing like warmer days – and lighter clothes – to get a girl thinking about her post-pregnancy weight. Here’s how to tone up with no spare time.
Your body is an amazing thing – you’ve made, carried and nourished a beautiful baby for
40 weeks. But now he’s been safely delivered and is thriving in the outside world, it’s time to think about yourself again.
Having a baby needn’t hold you back: an increasing number of gyms offer crèche facilities (usually for children over two) while specialist classes such as Buggyfit, where you do exercises with your pram, are springing up around the country.The approaching summer is a perfect incentive to tone up and
start losing those extra baby pounds by following a sensible exercise regime.
