What will I be doing in the class?
In Mom & Baby Bootcamp you do exercises with baby, as well as baby-free exercises. You wil lift and carry your baby and utilize her a weight. For part of the class your baby will watch you workout while resting (or napping) in her stroller, car seat, or on a blanket on the floor. Babies enjoy helping and watching mom workout!
What should I bring to class?
For your first class: For your first class, bring a signed copy of the PAR-Q and informed consent, as well as your registration fee. Please bring a cheque or exact change only.
Indoor Mom & Baby Bootcamp: Bring a set of hand weights (3-8 pounds) and a water bottle. Hand weights are used in case your baby wants a time-out from the class to nap. A supportive bra is recommended. For your baby, bring all the baby essentials (diapers, food, etc.) and a blanket to sit or lay on.
How old should my baby be?
Your baby can attend class anywhere from 4 weeks old and up. For indoor Mom & Baby Bootcamp classes, your baby should be pre-mobile (usually less than 8 or 9 months).
What if my baby needs to feed during the class?
We work around our babies' schedule; so feeding, diaper changing, caring for baby goes on throughout the class. It is best to try to feed prior to the class to maximize your time spent exercising. However, babies often have their own agendas!
What if my baby naps during the class?
Someone once said 'let sleeping babies lie'. Babies often nap during the workout- many enjoy sleeping through the action! Bring a set of dumbbells to use as resistance if your baby decides to nod off in class.
My baby is very fussy. I am not sure he will handle the class!
Fussy babies often love Mom & Baby Bootcamp because there is so much time spent with mom! You will be able to hold or play with your baby during the entire class and workout at the same time!
I did not exercise at all during my pregnancy and am very out of shape. Will I be able to do the class?
If you are out of shape, you need to come to this class! You will be encouraged to work at your own pace and take rest breaks as needed. Exercises can be modified to accommodate the beginner exerciser and challenge the elite athlete.
