Mom-baby yoga
The principle
You resume gentle physical activity, ideal for reclaiming your body, relaxing by breathing in the right way, finding the best postures to relieve tension and fatigue, and even strengthening your perineum. Your baby does not miss a beat as he snorts by your side on a carpet covered with a small blanket (ideal between 1 and 9 months). And what’s more, it’s excellent for helping him find his balance and share moments of complicity with him. There are also some Pilates classes with babies.

The fit-stroller (or gym stroller)
The principle
You run, but with the stroller! Rendezvous in a park, a wood, any nature route without a car with your baby. An animator (or not) guides you for a jog and some warm-up, stretching and even outdoor gym exercises. The advantage: you can stop to bottle-feed, shake a blanket, change a diaper. And your baby goes for a walk at the same time. You just need a stroller that is easy to handle, with all-terrain wheels and clothes well suited to the season.
Where to practice?
Find out more in your town (and on Facebook by typing “stroller gym” and the name of your department, town or region) to find out which associations offer this type of group activity. Otherwise, the public garden with a mom girlfriend will do.
Baby swimmers
The principle
In this case, it is you who accompany your baby in his activity. In very hot water, a secure pool equipped for the little ones, under the supervision of lifeguards, you sail quietly in the water for two (or three with the father). Of course, you are not going to do lengths, but you will have the opportunity to do short breaststroke movements, stretch and indulge in “baby deadlifts”. The fatigue of the activity itself (with the changing rooms, the shower, the transport) makes you burn a lot of energy!
Where to practice?
In the pools that offer a baby swimmer niche near you. Do not delay in inquiring because the activity is in high demand.
