SNOW UPDATE
Hey Everyone!
Unfortunately the snow seems to have beaten us today!!! We hope you are all safe and warm at home!!!
Unfortunately tonight’s Zumba classes at Monk Bretton & Leeds will be cancelled due to the weather conditions. Fingers crossed the situations improve for tomorrow but as always you can keep yourself updated via our Facebook page.
We’ve outlined our snow policy again below but hopefully (and this may be wishful thinking on our part!) we won’t need to use it again!
Love Nikki & Hannah
xx
Snow Policy
In the event of adverse weather conditions:
- Where possible a decision whether to run the classes or not will be made by 3pm on the day of the class.
- If you are at any time unsure if sessions are running the best immediate contact with Nikki or Hannah is through the Facebook page OR through our info@foxy-fitness.com email address.
- When circumstances and time permit – we will send out a general email and update the website to inform of cancellations but please bear in mind that occasionally this is not always possible (especially at last minute) and for this reason this is why we have made the Facebook page the place to check for cancellations.
- If a pre-bookable session is cancelled (eg Kettlercise) an extra session will be credited to you to make up for the lost session.
- If a pre-bookable session goes ahead but you are unable to make it or choose to stay at home then your session will be lost and not credited back.
Please be aware that wherever possible we will continue to run sessions provided it is safe to do so. |

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question, and I’m going to use “running” as an example of high-impact exercise in this article.
We’ll start with a hormone called relaxin which is released into your system in the early stages of your pregnancy. Relaxin relaxes your muscles/joints/ligaments to help prepare your pelvis for childbirth, BUT, relaxin doesn’t just affect your pelvis, it affects every joint in your body, AND, it stays in your system for up to 6 months after birth, which makes your body more susceptible to injury.
As a result, your ankles, knees, shoulders, pelvis and spine aren’t as stable as they once were. So, think of the chain of events when you run, from when your heel strikes the pavement, to when it lifts off the ground again to take the next stride – almost every joint in your body (which is in an unstable state remember), gets jolted. The risk of injury is high, and that’s why low-impact activity is prescribed for postnatal women.
A supportive running shoe is a must for any runner, regardless of their experience. Get a proper foot assessment before you pound the pavements again, and remember, it’s not uncommon for pregnant women’s feet to increase by up to a shoe size, so are you sure those trainers you’re about to slip on fit you accordingly?
Regardless of whether you’re breast or bottle feeding, chances are, your breasts will feel uncomfortable when performing high-impact exercise, unless you’re wearing a properly fitted sports bra.
Next up is your pelvic floor. If it isn’t strong, chances are, you’ll wee yourself the first time you go out for a run and could do yourself some everlasting damage. Not an attractive look, or indeed a sensible idea. If you’re having to wear, or even contemplating wearing an incontinence pad, ladies: “Houston, we have a problem!”.
So, you can start running again, if, and only if:
a) your pelvic floor is in check,
b) you’ve done a couple of months’ worth of work on pelvic stabilisation exercise eg Pilates or core-based exercise to ensure your pelvic floor, core and abdominals are in a supportive state,
c) running was a regular activity for you prior to getting pregnant,
d) you’ve invested in a good sports bra, AND,
e) you’re wearing new, shiny, well-fitting trainers.
Experienced runners know that the only way to increase their speed and stamina is to do “interval training”, so, I’ll finish by saying, if you haven’t even heard of this type of training, then this really proves your lack of experience, so ask yourself, is running really an appropriate activity for you, right now?
