FAQ’s

We use a variety of small, inexpensive equipment in the workouts, which have been carefully selected to get the maximum results, are safe to use, easy to store and portable should you wish to work out when you are travelling. Some of the exercises in the workouts use your own body weight and require only an exercise mat, while others incorporate:

• A resistance band with handles
• A mini looped band
• A stability ball
• A pilates ball

Within the program, we provide suggestions for alternative items you may have around the home to use instead of the equipment. For example, a soft football instead of the pilates ball or a pair of tights, nylons or something stretchy instead of the resistance band with handles. However, these should be temporary measures; we suggest you order your equipment as soon as you purchase the program. An equipment list is provided. The resistance bands can be purchased as a set to increase or decrease the resistance you use. Choose a resistance that is challenging but allows you to perform each movement with control and correct form. This will be different for everyone. The size of the stability ball should be chosen based on your height.

The stability ball is highly recommended as not only does it provide specific benefits with the core and stability exercises, it is also a great aid to use during labour and exercise after pregnancy to help rehab the stomach muscles.

All of the videos in the program are immediately accessible for you on purchase. You will just create an account with a username and password unique to you. On login, you’ll see your program and go to the week that corresponds to the week of your pregnancy. You’ll see the videos listed for each day; you click the play button and can view them on your computer, mobile devices or smart TV.

When you purchase the program, you’ll see how to get in touch for technical support. For support, which is not technical, and is help you need with exercise or nutrition related to the self-paced program or for yourself, you’ll need to join FitBumps Sports and Athletic Hub, our online membership community. FitBumps is within the same place you purchased the community, in the Mighty Networks app. You can join here.

We do not offer refunds for the program unless you have a medical complication with your pregnancy that arises within the first seven days of purchase. You must provide a written letter from your doctor or obstetrician to explain the complication and how this affects your ability to exercise. You will need to submit this with details of your request to: hello@bumpandbeyond.club

You will know by assessing how tired you feel, whether you get ill and other indicators if you need to rest. There are options for feel-good flow routines and self-massage for days when you need to take it at a slower pace with exercise. I always recommend staying active or moving the body, as opposed to sitting all day, which can bring energy levels down. Remember you’re growing a human inside of you, so rest is important to reduce the risk of injury.
