Mum’s NEED to Jump. Join us for the WHY and HOW!

Picture this: a kid, eyes sparkling with anticipation, pulling their mum towards the trampoline, but the mum pauses, her expression a mix of concern and dread

Within many mum groups, an unspoken consensus exists: jumping isn't for mothers. But could this cautious stance deprive us of something vital, especially as menopause is on the horizon?

Rethinking "Pelvic Floor Safe" Workouts:

Our fitness community, in its earnestness to promote "pelvic floor safe" regimes, may inadvertently overlook an essential aspect of women's health during the perimenopausal phase. In dodging one hazard, we stumble into another, potentially undervaluing the significance of impact workouts in defending against the natural wear and tear of age.

The Unvoiced Challenge:

Issues like prolapse and incontinence are massive, impacting approximately half of all mothers. The apprehension of not having control can immobilise, turning once-loved activities into stress triggers.

Impact and Bone Health:

As the menopausal phase beckons, decreasing oestrogen levels threaten our bone strength. However, impact-based activities, such as jumping, have been identified as prime ways to counteract this, fortifying our bones.

Bone Health Highlight:

Oestrogen reduction during perimenopause can lead to weaker bones. Impact workouts like plyometrics can be instrumental in reversing this as a robust shield against conditions like osteoporosis.

A Deep Dive into Plyometrics:

Initially championed by Soviet athletes in the '60s, plyometrics emphasises high-intensity movements to bolster muscle strength and quickness. These activities not only empower muscles but also benefit the bones, making them indispensable allies against osteoporosis.

Balance & Fall Prevention:

Age makes balance a priority. Plyometrics is a game-changer, enhancing stability and quick responses. This is not just about muscle-building but about ensuring the body's readiness for varied scenarios.

Cardio Boost with Plyometrics:

These high-impact exercises are heart-friendly. They improve stamina, reduce heart-related risks, and promote overall health and vitality.

Mental Well-being & Plyometrics:

Physical workouts like plyometrics can be mental health saviours, especially during challenging perimenopausal periods. The endorphin rush can be a natural remedy for anxiety and mood swings.

Addressing the Concerns:

While the advantages are many, apprehensions around impact exercises persist. With the right guidance and a phased approach, these exercises can be seamlessly integrated, ensuring benefits minus the risks.
