Active Mama Sessions

Join us and get amongst it!

What are the sessions?

The Active Mama sessions is a walking and running group (I like to think of them as a moving coffee group) where you can bring your buggy and get active with like-minded women! I will regularly be inviting a 'guest speaker' to our group sessions, who specialize in physio, personal training, or nutrition to provide advice to our active mamas, where you will have the opportunity to chat with them one on one about any burning questions you may have. 

Monday Mornings Walking Group (1-2 hours).

Monday morning sessions will be held at 9am, at differing locations which I will share on my Facebook page. The differing locations are to mix it up, and encourage a sense of adventure. You might end up discovering some awesome new places around Christchurch! I will share the locations a few weeks in advance so you are able to plan for them. Monday morning groups will be for those who want to go for a walk on a pram friendly track. Coffee will definitely be an option at the end if time permits, and you are keen for a chat with some awesome people. Once a month I am going to throw in a hill option so if you want to pop the baby in the carrier, we can head out for a gentle hike (nothing extreme). Anyone is welcome to this group! 

Thursday Mornings Buggy Running Group (30mins - 1 Hour)

Thursday mornings are for those **who have medical clearance to be exercising with their buggy**, and also enjoy running with the pram, who assume a reasonable level of fitness to do so. Many medical professionals will recommend waiting at least 6 months post birth until you are able to begin running again. But of course, common sense prevails and listening to your body and it's capabilities are very important! Again, the routes will be on pram friendly terrain and in differing locations around Christchurch which I will share on my Facebook page so you can plan for it. I do not recommend the buggy running group to new mums, but more to those who are regular runners and are looking for mums to run and connect with. 
 

Do The Active Mama Sessions cost anything?

Not at this stage! I am running this group out of passion for my cause.
