Ready to move after baby? Postnatal fitness apps not only provide safe and effective exercise plans, but also ensure you feel supported when sweating from home
Carifit+
£225 for Carifit+ & 12-month app subscription, getcarifit.com Offering something completely unique, the Carifit+ is a baby carrier that combines with the parenting Carifit App. Founded by ante and postnatal fitness expert and dad-of-two, Vern Hill, Carifit began as an in-person exercise class for fun workouts that provide parents with the support they need to get stronger with baby.
It is an investment buy, but the carrier itself can support a little one from birth to two years, so it’s a piece of kit that will last. When you open the box, you’ll get a QR code to unlock the 12-month app subscription, which will take you straight to the Posture+ fitness advice, ensuring a comfortable fit from the off. You’ll also find on-demand baby wearing workouts for every fitness level. We love that it gives parents the opportunity to exercise with baby in tow!
