OMG yes! I often opt to workout at home in my living room via a YouTube video to follow along to.

I would say you do you! Focus on yourself. If you get yourself to the gym, have the best time 💪🔥

I prefer to do my workouts at home w weights but do the actual classes like Pilates, Zumba, spin. I did that for 2yrs lost all my baby weight of 44lbs then I switched over to salsa/bachata classes, at that time mainly for social life as well as they start at 7-8pm, twice a week now it’s Tuesdays and Friday nights. After a night of salsa I get in 18k-19k steps so it’s fun cardio for me

I go to my council run gym which has a lot of retirees and college students as there is a college next door and even some disabled adults and their carers so it’s not something I overly worry about. The first time is usually the hardest getting back in routine but start slowly and build up.

Cleaning baby girl 👧 asking all girl mums for advice please

I need some advice… my daughter is 3 weeks old and when I saw the midwife she said you’re not to open her private area to clean it just wipe front to back, as it self cleans however I’ve noticed some very thick white discharge and a bit of yellow stuff in the creases inside from where she’s pooped, I want to clean this but know it’s been recommended not to, how are we all cleaning these areas I know it sounds silly but I’m a first time mum just looking for any advice🥺please no hate I’m struggling with this as it is

Cooking lessons?

Would anyone be interested in free cooking lessons. I love to cook and show people how I make certain things. I feel like i could show someone some simple recipes ive learned over time. Cooking is an essential skill I feel like everyone should know how to make a couple things. I think it could be fun to videochat and make food together?
