The Healthy Town of Hafnarfjörður and Hress are organising an event to promote the health of expectant mothers and women with newborns on maternity leave. The aim is to increase their access to fitness. On Wednesday, 17th April, they are invited to attend a class at the gym. Little ones are welcome too.

Coach Sandra Bjarnadóttir leads the session. She is a qualified nurse, midwife and IAK coach. She runs the 'Mother and Baby' course, where she helps women get back in shape in a healthy way at a level that suits each individual. The class involves strength and cardio exercises with correct body mechanics. Special emphasis is also placed on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, deep core muscles, and the abdominal and back muscles.

There are good facilities for children, who can sleep right outside the gym; a door in the gym leads directly out so you can go and get or tend to them. Inside, there are high chairs, mats, playpens and more for those who wish to make use of them.
