If I had a pound for every New Mum who had asked me when they could start running again.....well, I probably wouldn't need to work any more.  Because it's such a quick, easy and simple way to exercise, running has a huge appeal to new mums. You can throw your trainers...

Ever wondered if you have a diastasis / tummy separation? I get a lot of Mums coming to me who really aren't sure if they have one, if the one they've got is an issue or what to be looking out for, so hopefully this little video will help! HOW TO CHECK FOR A TUMMY...
