The Mother of All Workouts

‘The Mother of All Workouts’ is Binky Felstead’s new ebook on postnatal recovery and returning to fitness after a baby. Written with her best friend and PT, Lulu Adams and nutritionist Kristy Coleman, the ebook sets out the ‘plan’ that Binky followed after the birth of her daughter India to get her back into full scale, high impact workouts and running that she enjoys today. It takes a holistic approach to postnatal recovery, because the authors want to turn the harmful phrase ‘bounce back’ on its head and encourage women to take things slowly: to strengthen from the inside out, and readjust to and appreciate their postnatal body and the new emotional dynamics in their home lives.

With healing tips for the first few weeks along with advice on getting the most from your diet after childbirth, plus technique guidelines, exercise demonstrations/videos, easy to understand principles behind progressing your workouts, delicious, healthy and easy to make recipes and a full scale Workout Plan – there is plenty on offer for mums everywhere, whatever stage of recovery you are at. 

*Please consult your Doctor or Health Care Professional before commencing any physical activity within the plan. Please also refer to the Disclaimer document.

"As a women’s health physiotherapist I am eager that women are made aware of the importance of rehabilitating and exercising safely post baby. Bounce back after baby is a myth. A women’s postnatal recovery requires  time, good nutrition and the right type of exercise before the more ‘normal ‘ type of exercise should be re- introduced.

The mother of all workouts not only provides a catalogue of excellent exercises and nutritional recipes (essential for the healing postnatal body )but also educates about the bodily changes that occur during and after pregnancy, possible postnatal symptoms to look out for and signposts to health care professionals where appropriate.

I wish I had had access to this e-book when I had had my children. However I am delighted to have it now as a resource to signpost my postnatal patients too, an absolute welcome addition to any women’s postnatal recovery!"
