23.01.2022 This is womanhood/sisterhood/motherhood at its best. This is a training program where mums are encouraged to bring their babies and their learning is juggled ar...ound their needs. This is training that educates women about their postnatal needs and how to improve the function and strength of their bodies and then help other women to do the same. This is a course that empowers women to build a career that is worthwhile, challenging and fun. This is a career that enables women to have complete flexibility to work around the needs of themselves and their family. This is a community where we lift each other up and work as a team and not in competition. At the Kangatraining Instructor Course you will see women helping each other, get through this together. You will see women thriving. Kangatraining is a safe and fun postnatal workout you can do WITH your babies and every day our Kangatrainers train, empower, educate and support women all across Australia with virtual and face to face classes. *It’s not too late to join our final Kangatraining Instructor Course for 2020. **You don’t need to be a woman or a mother to be a great Kangatrainer, you just need to work with us on our mission.

23.01.2022 We know sometimes there are barriers that make it hard to come to something like Kangatraining. We know it can be overwhelming to get out of the house and try ...things like this after all the challenges thrown at you in 2020. We know how hard it is to get out the door when you haven’t slept, or your baby hates the car, or you’re not feeling good about yourself, or your toddler won’t cooperate, or you’re not sure if it will be worth it. Over the next two weeks we’re going to share with you the stories of five Kangamums and all the doubts that might run through your mind about getting out of the house for something like Kanga. Right now, it’s more important than ever for parents to get out and connect with other parents; to move, to talk, to dance, to have fun. Please help us share our stories to encourage parents right across Australia right now to get involved. We understand your anxiety and worry about coming, but trust us when we say they’ll disappear the moment you walk in the door. It's what we're all about. And you will he SO GLAD you came. X

22.01.2022 Brand new exciting partnerships for Kangatraining Australia!

21.01.2022 While I may not be running classes plenty of trainers are! We will always adapt and change to support each other

18.01.2022 Who else agrees?? I would love a Rosie!

18.01.2022 Why doesn’t Kangatraining, as a postnatal exercise class, ever discuss weight loss or getting your ‘pre-baby body back’? I’ll explain. First things first, peopl...e want to lose weight for various reasons, both health and aesthetic related, and that is A-okay. And Kangatraining is Low Impact Interval Training, meaning that if weight loss is what you’re trying to achieve then yes, Kanga can absolutely support you in that goal and has helped many mums and trainers achieve this. So why aren’t our trainers motivating you with ‘think of that bikini body!’ Or promoting that we’ll get your pre-baby body back? - EXERCISE IS MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS There are SO many reasons that exercise is good for your physical and mental health; strengthen bones and muscles, improve the function of your body and ability to perform daily tasks, give you more energy to live your life, increase your chances of living longer....the list is as long as it is significant. In the postpartum period a safe return to exercise plays a pivotal role in improving the function, recovery and mobility of your body as well as improving your mental well-being. Every single workout you do is doing so much good to your body and mind and we want THAT to be our focus. - KANGATRAINING IS MORE THAN EXERCISE In addition to the physical benefits listed above, Kangatraining is going to play a key role in your emotional and psychological health and well-being. Socialising, having fun, dancing, doing something fun with your baby, building confidence, being part of a supportive community. It's so much more than a fitness class and SO MUCH MORE than a way to lose weight. We want you to enjoy Kangatraining for all of its benefits and for the way it will make you feel...happy! - YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR WEIGHT Above all else, that number on the scales has zero value in our class. We want to CELEBRATE YOU and that incredible body of yours, for all that it has done in bringing your baby in to the World and/or raising him or her! Your weight and what you look like compared with what you did before baby does not mean a thing to your family, your identity, your friendships...Your baby. Your health and happiness matters. So why don't we talk about weight loss at Kanga? Because we've got far better things to focus our energy on and we want you to too.

18.01.2022 Kanga is Life Let’s start at the beginning. The moment you became a mum. You created a human and gave birth to it. There is no doubt it’s one of life’s greates...t milestones, a #blessing, you’re #grateful, it’s incredible and a total miracle and all of that. But let’s talk about the other stuff. Let’s skip forward to that time immediately after your baby has been placed in your arms. You’re bleeding and sore. You’re shocked and shaking. You feel like you’ve been in a car crash. But yet it’s a time of total celebration. Everyone around you is still them. But you’re no longer you. Your body has changed, your responsibilities, your every waking moment is different. You’re wearing giant unfamiliar knickers with a huge pad filled with ice. Strangers are holding your boobs and commenting on your nipples and feeling your tummy and checking your vagina. You have a baby who needs you every second of every day. And the days and nights go on with no beginning and no end. And you don’t even know who you are. Your sentences don’t even come out right. You continue to be grateful. But everything is a blur. And then the days turn in to weeks and you realise you’re lonely and you think maybe you’d like to start venturing out with your baby. Maybe even exercise. Maybe even socialise. But the effort feels insurmountable. Everyone else has it so together. It’ll be you with the screaming baby, with the milk leaking and no clothes that fit. It will be you who does something ‘wrong’ with the baby that everyone will judge. It’s too hard. You don't know where you belong in this new World. But your friend told you about Kangatraining and that you have to try it so one day, when you’re feeling just okay, you go to the massive effort to make it to a class. You walk in the room and you’re welcomed with the big beaming smile of the instructor. And she tells you what to expect from the class. She tells you that you and baby are priority so you can tend to your babies needs or your own at any time. The room is buzzing with smiling, chatting mums and babies being babies; feeding, smiling, crying, crawling, laying and chatting. You tell the instructor you’re unco and not very fit and don’t know how to use a carrier and she tells you 'we all start there' and that you’re in good hands. She tells you she’s unco too and she’ll help you use the carrier. You feel at ease. And you start with the warm up and already you can’t wipe the smile from your face as your baby smiles at you while you’re dancing. And then you do floor work and you feel safe and it feels good to be doing something for you. And your baby is right there with you. And then the instructor helps you get your baby in the carrier and you wait for him to cry but he doesn’t. He already looks calm and drowsy. And then you dance and you squat and you workout and everything feels okay. You’re smiling. Your mind takes you to memories of dancing with friends in another life. You hadn’t even noticed that your baby has been asleep the whole time. You didn’t even notice you’d missed half the steps because it just didn’t matter. You’re puffing and you’re sweaty and you’re laughing and you're happy. And at the end of class you stand in a circle with your sweaty hair and sleeping babies and you talk. There’s so much laughing and so many relatable moments. There’s even tears. And there’s relief. That you’re all in this together. And the instructor asks if anyone wants to go for coffees across the road and you go and the laughing and the smiling and the relief continues. You get home three hours later and you feel different. No, you feel like you. You finally, feel like you. One of our trainers wrote on a post this week Kanga is Life and I thought that a lot of people wouldn’t know what that meant. So I wanted to explain it. This certainly isn't everyone's story. But it's a common one. And this is why for some people Kanga is a fun workout that you can do with your baby. For some, Kanga is Life.

16.01.2022 Sadly, Whitney has moved on from Kangatraining Mildura Do you know of anyone who would be perfect to bring Kangatraining back to this area? We’ll give you all the training you need!

15.01.2022 With no current Kangatrainer in Mildura, will you be our next?? Changes to the format of our training means it’s even more accessible and flexible for participants

15.01.2022 Remember leaving the house before you had kids? Purse, keys, phone, out the door. Now, sometimes it feels impossible. Nappies, wipes, spare clothes...where are ...the damn keys? And so many scenarios to prepare for. So many variables and unknowns. What if he screams the whole time? What if I’m the only one who doesn’t have it together? What if he pukes or poos all over me? Or someone else? Add a toddler in the mix and trying something unknown and sometimes it feels like it would just be easier to stay home. But being alone with that fear and those feelings doesn’t help anyone. At Kangatraining you’ll feel welcomed and supported the moment you walk in the door. You’ll see instantly that we’re all in this together. We know the challenges you’re facing day to day because we face them too. You’ll meet other parents, you’ll move your body to great music, you’ll gain strength, fitness and friendship and most of all... you’ll have fun. You owe it to yourself to try. And you’ll be so glad you came.

03.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart we share that one of our Kanga Mums lost her firefighter husband on Thursday night in the devastating accident. Tonight, across the country, we are lighting candles to show our support to this Kanga Mum, her family, our Kangatrainer, her Kanga community and to everyone in Australia currently affected by these devastating fires. To the men and women fighting these fires, you are beyond brave and we are so thankful for what you are doing to keep our la...nd, our animals and our people safe. Dearest Kanga Mum, if you see this, please know we are all thinking of you and your family. Our hearts are breaking. We cannot imagine what you are going through right now. We're sending you love and light. PS. Our Kanga Mums name has not yet been released, so please honour her privacy if you know who she is, and do not tag/comment with her name on this post.

03.01.2022 Want to help spread Kangatraining around the country? Currently there are areas with no trainers and interested mums, maybe Kangatraining is for you!
