Ep.5 The best exercise for busy mums.

Happy Thriving Mums | Inspiration and tips for Health, Happiness and Fitness in Motherhood.

The podcast has had a rebrand! From January 2025 it is now the Happy Thriving Mums podcast. This episode was recorded in it's original format of the Radiate Fitness Podcast! Enjoy!

In this episode Amanda talks about several different types of training that you can do to help improve your fitness. She gives a whistlestop tour of each type and highlights the different benefits as well as discussing what the guidance is in relation to what we all should be doing to maintain good general health. Really, the most important thing to consider is what you enjoy, as that is the type of exercise you are most likely to stick at.

As with all fitness and exercise programmes, you need to use your common sense. If you have been told on health or medical grounds that you should not take part in physical activity and sport, have any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns about whether or not you should exercise, you should seek advice from your GP first. If you are returning to exercise after having a baby you should have had your post natal check with your doctor and be ‘signed off’.
