On Tuesday 5^th June 2007 Kennet District Council will be starting a new Post Natal exercise class at Tidworth Leisure Centre. Recognising the importance of making classes accessible to all the new mums are being encouraged to bring their baby along with them to the session.

The session will be led by an experienced exercise instructor - Anne-Marie Botha - who has long campaigned to raise the importance of exercise following the birth of a baby. Anne-Marie will take the class through a structured programme of exercise that is aimed at helping the new mums to regain their pre pregnancy shape, promote the type of exercise they could progress to and create a strong and social group atmosphere

Gillian Thompson Kennet District Council Operations Manager (Leisure) said "It is important that we offer classes at our leisure centres to accommodate all exercise needs and by introducing Post Natal exercise sessions where new mums can bring the new baby along we are aiming to create a more relaxed and social feel to the sessions."
