3 Ways for Mums to Beat The Winter Blues

3. Do something active each day

Finding the time to exercise can be tricky for all of us, but especially busy mums. And just the thought of stripping off your warm, comfy slippers and fluffy robe to slide into your active wear and runners has you climbing back under the covers. But the key here is to make it fun and be accountable to someone.

Partner up with a friend or get the whole family involved – Dad as well!

Partner up with a friend or get the whole family involved – Dad as well! Booking into a fun group fitness program like Kangatraining is a great way to not only get active but to socialise with other mums who can normalise your struggles and celebrate your wins. While there is no shortage of activities to choose from, Kangatraining is a specific postnatal workout run by mums, for mums. Kangatrainers are educated in postnatal exercise, women’s health issues such as PND, pelvic floor weakness, abdominal separation and prolapse. They are also trained in safe babywearing practices and can assist with fitting a carrier to exercise comfortably and safely with your baby.

Hopefully these ideas will help to keep your mojo flowing throughout the cool winter months. We all still have crappy days from time to time though, so don’t be too hard on yourself either.

Some days we just need to rock our pjs, make another coffee (or pour a glass of wine) and binge watch an insanely ridiculous but oh-so-addictive telly show.
