MUM HOURS
PROGRAM FOR PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM
Whether returning to training, or just starting out, our Mum Hours program is suitable for women no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Staying active during pregnancy and the early postpartum period can provide incredible benefits for both your body and mind—when done safely and with care.
Supported by Coach Jamie (3x CrossFit Games Team athlete 2015, 2016 and 2018), the program is specifically designed to support women who are keen to be active and fit for their own wellbeing. In keeping with the Dad Hours values, the program has workouts that are quick and effective so you don't have to spend hours in the gym.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to physical activity, it’s essential to prioritise factors like pelvic floor and core health when planning your workouts. Every pregnancy and recovery journey are unique, so your exercise routine should be adjusted to meet your specific needs and adapt to your body’s changes. The Mum Hours program offers suggestions for modifications so you can train no matter your level of ability.
