What’s the big deal about online fitness?


We’ve had fitness DVDs – and before that fitness videos – for years and years. But there’s no doubt that online fitness is now getting the upper hand when it comes to home fitness. It’s not entirely surprising, really. After all, we look for most things online these days and anyway, I don’t know about you, but I find it quite boring doing the same workout every week and knowing exactly what’s coming next. The body finds that boring too, and it soon adapts to the exercise, sits back into a comfort zone, and then makes no progress whatsoever. In short, variety is of essence when it comes to making fitness gains, and online fitness gives scope for variety.


Anyway, a few years ago I started to think about how I could go about keeping as many mums and mums-to-be as happy, healthy and fit as possible. Everyone was always shouting the word franchise into my ear but it wasn’t for me – nope! I am a control freak and a perfectionist and franchising really wouldn’t suit a control freak. What franchisee would want to have me breathing down their neck?! But online fitness? Now THAT really was an interesting idea: I’d have complete control over producing the material, thus ensuring really high standards, and I could reach out to women anywhere. Literally ANYWHERE. Now that was a mind blowing thought.


And so two and a half years on, I am finally launching – today - the first ever online pregnancy and postnatal fitness and wellbeing system that takes you from week 14 of pregnancy right the way though to when your little one is 6 months old. You can join at any point in the programme and you will start receiving your weekly workouts designed for the exact week of pregnancy or of the postnatal period that you are in.


Here’s a short clip of me telling you what it’s all about.

 

So in short, here’s what my lovely online fitness for mums and mums-to-be has on offer:

 

  • You'll receive your weekly, professionally filmed, HD online Pilates workouts designed especially for the exact week of pregnancy or of the postnatal period that you are in.
     
  • Alongside your workouts I'll be giving you all sorts of other useful extras - it might be a food plan one week alongside a workout specifically designed for backache. Another week it might be a pregnancy walking programme or a postnatal metabolism-boosting workout alongside a kitchen cupboard detox. You'll never quite know what's in store for you from one week to then next.
     
  • And, of course, there's my friendly forum there for you to use: start posting, sharing, laughing, sending and asking. Yes, if you have any questions for me, just ask away on the forum and I'll be there on Thursdays from 10am to 11am, at the ready! I am there to support you, motivate you, offer help and advice, have a moan at, be a fellow mum with, share a giggle with, be a shoulder to lean on ...
     
  • And all those burning questions that you have but never really get the opportunity to ask? Well, you’ll be able to ask them on the forum at the weekly Q & A sessions with a range of experts from midwife Marie Sheehan to breastfeeding expert Geraldine Miskin, and from fussy eater experts Emma Haycraft and Gemma Witcomb to employment lawyer Louise Haward.
     
  • What else? Well, of course, there are my weekly newsletters packed with all sorts of useful ideas, advice, recipes and tips. And now that I’ve finally moved into the 21st century and bought myself a camcorder, you’ll soon be receiving vlogs and mini videoed workouts as little extras. Watch this space!
     

So there you have it – a parcel of good health and happiness winging its way to you every week. Over two years in the making and now it is here – FREE to all Zest4life new mums and mums-to-be who attend my classes, and amazing value for all you lovely people elsewhere.
