About: Buggy Bootcamp is our friendly and welcoming mum and baby outdoor fitness group, held on Tuesday mornings in the beautiful surroundings of Alice Holt Forest.

Sessions will vary each week, but will all include cardio and body weight exercises, adapted to your fitness levels. Exercises will be suitable for postnatal mums following their 6-week check, to rebuild core strength and improve recovery from pregnancy, so no running, but we will make the most of the hills at Alice Holt for some fast-paced walking to get our heart-rates up.

The great facilities at the Forest can be enjoyed by mums before or after the classes, whether your little one needs a pre-session play in the park, or you need a post-session cuppa and catch-up. It is a great way for mums to get together, enjoy the fresh air, and get some exercise. As a mum of three, I found time outside with my young children to be so rewarding for us, physically and mentally; these classes are designed to give you some respite from being solely focussed on the motherly duties that come with babies, and some much needed head-space to focus on you.

Classes are kept small, with block bookings for each half term, so there is a great community vibe established from seeing the same mums and babies each week. You can make new friends, share any burdens, or just have a friendly chat, whilst boosting your vitamin D. It will leave you with a great feeling of accomplishment that will see you through to the following week!
