Listen on:


Since becoming a mother I've found it really hard to find the energy, time and motivation to do exercise. I can barely keep the house tidy let alone find the time to get to the gym or an exercise class!

Enter the Power of Mum, an at-home strength training programme. I found it totally by accident but it lit a fire inside me - I still didn't know how I'd find the time but I knew I needed it.

So in this week's episode of Raising Healthy Mothers I'm talking to Nicole Chapman, personal trainer and founder of the Power of Mum.

In the episode we discuss:

  • The benefits of strength training as a mum

  • Why exercise is important in motherhood

  • The physical changes we go through during pregnancy and postpartum and how it changes the way we need to exercise

  • How to find time to and energy to exercise

  • Getting motivated and staying kind to ourselves

Nicole combines the perfect amount of compassion for the realities of being a mum and motivation to stay on track - without the macho tough love so common in the personal training industry!
