Never has working out been so much fun. Gymfants is essentially a gymnastic exercise course run by the council for under 5s. I sometimes take my friend's toddler there and she absolutely loves it. It's run by British Gymnastics coaches and there are various developmental focuses behind all the flinging around of small bodies (that is, the kids flinging themselves around - the coaches are not flinging any small children, I hasten to add) but the greatest thing about it is simply that the kids have a brilliant time, while getting some really good exercise. I have to say, I get immensely jealous as I watch the little ones on their mini trampolines, beams and apparatus (it's really well-equipped, and everything is in miniature, which is awesome). I'm not sure I ever got to enjoy a gymnasium this well equipped in either my childhood or adult life! read more
