Activity sessions are being put on to help new mums improve their fitness.

The sessions in Hinckley are being run by independent midwife and mother Helena Bull as part of the Active Together programme, and are supported by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council.

The hour-long classes start with a warm-up walk around a park, moving into a power walk or run and exercises to strengthen and tone particular muscle groups.

The classes take place from 10am to 11am on Mondays and from 1.30pm to 2.30pm on Wednesdays and cost £4.50 each after the first one, which is free.

Helena said: "We get out in all weathers and everyone feels so much better for an hour's worth of fresh air. It also sets a good example to the children when they see their mums enjoying exercising."
