I was determined to get back to my pre-pregnancy body pretty quick after my daughter arrived. Luckily, she was born in April so I was able to start taking her for walks right away. I did so many great things when on mat leave though. Some of my favourite include: 1 - Mommy and Baby aquafit. A GREAT class held at the local pool. You get in the pool with your babe and do a water aerobics class with baby in hand. I LOVED this class. My daughter also loved being in the water every week. 2 - Walks with other moms. I had a great group of mama friends when on Mat Leave. We would always meet at some of the local trails and go for walks. 3 - Baby Bootcamp. Another class I took through the rec centres. Great class! They really push you to work harder and faster. 4 - Baby Swim Club. My mommy friends and I formed a baby swim club. Every week we would meet at a different pool. I loved this because I got to try out all the pools in the city. It was also a great social time for the kiddies. 5 - YOGA! I loved pre-natal and post-natal yoga. Unfortunetely life got too busy after post-natal and I haven't been able to sign up for more. Mmmmm.... maybe I should look into that for Feb. So..... that's how I did it. Obviously there were lots and lots of family walks included. There are so many great spots to walk and hike in Victoria. I am one lucky mama! L
