Move with Mommies – mothers’ exercise programme

Proposal

Summary

Organise guided exercise sessions for single parents close to their homes. Provide childcare at the exercise venue, or allow children to participate together with their parents.

Proposal description

Many mothers with very young babies want to take care of their health but lack easy, low-threshold options. This proposal brings fitness activities close to home, in each neighbourhood/cluster of neighbourhoods, so mothers can join without long commutes or complicated schedules. Activities could include stroller exercise classes, yoga or pilates with babies, and gentle chair-based workouts, all designed to boost both body and mind while building peer support among mothers.

This proposal includes other proposals where applicable. They are displayed at the bottom of the page. The proposals include, among other things, a request to organize guided exercise for single parents, for example in Haaga or nearby areas, in such a way that either (a) childcare or supervised activities for the children are provided in an adjacent space at the same time, or (b) children are allowed to join the exercise.
