We know that exercise can energise, reduce stress and aid recovery, but looking after a newborn can make regular workouts a challenge. However if you can stick to a structured programme, it’s a great way to lift the postpartum fog while getting  stronger . Whichever activity you choose, remember to be kind to yourself and be patient when it comes progress. Prenatal fitness and postnatal recovery should be about feeling good within yourself first. 

Once you’ve been given the green light to exercise (make sure you consult your doctor before you begin), check out this list of studios offering pre and postnatal fitness, personal training, yoga classes and Pilates in Hong Kong. There are some great boutique Pilates studios like Flex Studio, H-Kore and Iso Fit which all offer specific postnatal mat and reformer classes, as well as fitness specialists offering Mums & Bubs classes. Plus, you’ll get to meet lots of other new mamas too. Bonus!

Editor’s Note: Check with each provider for protocols before booking classes, and consult your doctor before exercising during or after pregnancy.

We’re all well aware of the physical, psychological and social health benefits of participation in sports for children and young people. Interestingly, these benefits tend to be particularly great for girls. One major benefit of girls playing sports as they grow up is the impact this will have on the women they will become.

Confidence, teamwork and a more positive self-image are all qualities that will grow and develop as she takes part in physical activity. Sport teaches our daughters to set goals and work for them, understand their limits and defy them. It also teaches them to be disciplined, celebrate achievements and learn from failures. It teaches them that not everything will be a victory and you will have to pick yourself up and go again. Not only in sports, but also in life. In order to see these benefits put into practice, young girls need female sporting role models and they need them close to home. And that, mamas, is where you need to step in.

Why women and girls give up on sports

Throughout a woman’s life, the odds are stacked against her for staying interested and active in sports, perhaps because of a combination of a lack of opportunity and sporting female role models. As teenagers, adolescent girls become highly critical of themselves. It is at this stage that girls begin to place limitations on themselves. Without realising that sports, in fact, help us transcend these self-imposed limitations, girls may stop playing if they assume they won’t go on to become professional athletes. As they continue to grow up, balancing a career and a family means dropout rates in women’s sports remain high. Even if a woman were to choose to take up a sport later on, it can be intimidating (and difficult to find suitable opportunities) after being out of it for a while.

The influence of mums and female role models

Mothers have a huge influence on their daughter’s relationships with physical fitness or sports. Whether it’s participating together, or simply allowing your daughter to see that you yourself are active, this visibility is crucial.

Participating in a sport in front of your daughter allows her to see you as more than just “mum”. She will observe you dealing with pressure, supporting and working with other women, sweating, struggling, learning and showing respect, leadership and discipline. You will come across as capable, confident, willing to try new things and resilient. If you apply this to your daily life, your daughter will subconsciously imbibe the same lessons. We should allow our daughters to see their mum participating in sport because she wants to. Not because she’s trying to lose weight, or because she’s a professional, but because she is self-assured and confident and sees the benefits of it for her mental and physical health and well-being.

Sports & outdoor activities for mums & daughters

Other than just enrolling your daughter in a sports class, you could look at participating together in specific mother and daughter sports events. If not, take up a sport and make sure to invite your children (a good lesson for boys and girls to cheer on their mum!) to watch and learn. For those who find sport intimidating, taking part in an all-female environment might help you feel more relaxed and supported. Take a look at the initiatives below and get in touch with those that interest you. It’s also worth reaching out to other sports clubs that interest you to see if they run any beginner or casual sessions.

WISE HK – Women In Sports Empowered Hong Kong

WISE HK champions sports for women and girls in Hong Kong through a variety of initiatives.

Hong Kong United*

Hong Kong United is a football initiative that invites women of all ages and abilities to a weekly training session. Set up via Standard Perpetual MLFA, Hong Kong United understands that as a beginner or someone who has been out for a while, getting into football can be daunting. That’s why it’s started these sessions, which are run by two female coaches working in Hong Kong. Participants’ ages range from late teens or early 20s to those well into their 40s and 50s. The sessions are fun and inclusive and, as the name suggests, they’re aimed at bringing Hong Kong women together through the beautiful game.

The benefits of working out for body and mind have been proven time and time again, though starting can sometimes be tricky. We get it: an early morning yoga class, an after-work gym session or getting into gear with a personal trainer can sometimes feel like the last thing on our to-do list. Especially if you’re a busy parent running the kids all over the place. So if you need a little extra incentive to hit the gym, perhaps it’s time to invest in some fresh new activewear. Plus, it helps that we’d happily wear this comfortable, chic gear in and out of our classes. That’s where the word “athleisure” comes from after all, right?

It’s no surprise that PURE is one of Hong Kong’s (and Asia’s!) leading fitness and yoga studios, offering both dynamic group classes and personal training. But as busy parents, we know it can sometimes feel like a chore to set out for a class. But all that’s about to change with PURE’s online class offerings. 

A gym and yoga membership where you can work out from home? That’s one subscription that won’t go to waste (there’s still time to start your “new year new me” resolution!). Here’s everything you need to know about PURE’s latest online 360° wellness platform.

No Different To In-Person Classes: Guided By AI Motion-Tracking

You may wonder if an online class would take away the interaction of a group or in-person class, but the wellness platform maintains its level of engagement, fun and connectivity as it does with PURE’s offline classes. PURE Online AI-backed motion-tracking software can keep track of your performance to guide your workout and act as motivation — in short, there is an instructor present!

Over 400 On-Demand Fitness, Yoga, Sound Bath and Nutrition Classes

From classes in different styles, levels and duration to teacher stories and video diaries, get set for exploration and progression! Whether it’s yoga classes — including Yoga For Moms, Couple Yoga and Kids’ Yoga — or fitness classes in varying difficulty and duration, and even informative videos on nutrition, your every need and target is taken care of. 

All the classes are taught by PURE Group’s internationally certified instructors, and 21 new videos are updated every week so you’re never stuck in the same routine. 

An Unmissable Early Bird Offer

Get 50% off PURE Online packages and receive unlimited access to all on-demand classes. There’s an optional add-on of $38 a month for access to 200 premium AI experience classes (definitely worth it, if you ask us!). 

PURE Online Basic subscription prices start at just $78 per month. If you’re looking for more value for money, look to the “Ultimate Get Started” Package, this 12-month plan comes with a free upgrade to a premium plan for the first two months — additional perks include a one-on-one personal training session and 7-day access to all clubs in Hong Kong.

Early bird offers end Sunday, 30 April, 2023.
