Haverhill, MA –  Cedardale Health + Fitness will be offering a Fit Mom Wellness Program. This 6-week program is designed for postpartum mothers and their babies up to age 9 months. Common issues women experience after giving birth will be the focus of this program. Participants will meet one time per week for 45 minutes in a group setting with their babies to walk our indoor track, enjoy a workout, and discuss postpartum issues.

Workouts will be led by a certified group exercise instructor and will target the core, pelvic floor and upper body muscles.  Strollers are welcome on the track and there will be special guest lecturers that include a Registered Dietitian, a Chiropractor and a Yoga Instructor/Massage Therapist. Exercising after delivery is one of the best things a mother can do for her mental and physical health.

Benefits of postpartum exercise include:

• Decreased risk of postpartum depression
• Improved sleep

• Decreased stress levels
• Improved urinary incontinence
