Let’s talk pushups! As soon as I bring up press ups I normally hear “I have never been able to do those” push ups are a challenging exercise but done correctly it’s an excellent full body movement. When people have done pushups in the past the technique has probably been off meaning the core wasn’t engaged making it feel horrible on the upper body. With this exercise I always emphasise correct position and make things easier with a series of progressions. These include raising the arms up, holding a press up positions and practicing just the down part of the push up. Although these progressions makes things easier you should still feel your core engage. I am not a huge fan of dropping the knees to the floor as this engages the core a lot less, much prefer placing the hands on a higher platform. If you hear me say push ups in class, I promise it won’t be too scary!

How old does my baby have to be to come along to class? I often get asked if it’s ok to bring along a baby who can’t sit up yet etc No matter the age of your wee one they are more than welcome at class, I have a few bouncers and baby gyms for the wee ones and there is plenty of space for car seats and prams if they (amazingly) want to nap while you work out. If you have more than one child it’s ok to bring them along as well! If you have a little one on the move don’t worry about space. We have plenty of room for them to explore while you get your work out in. I always set up a little play area with some blocks and tunnels which keeps the older ones entertained. It’s a baby class and we are pretty laid back so if you need to stop to get snacks or change the baby’s nappy it’s all good. We plenty of free parking in the car park and the gym is near Anniesland cross so plenty of transport options as well!
