‘Kick-Up with Kamamma’™ is a first of its kind exercise programme ideated and founded in 2013 focusing specifically on teenage girls and women living in challenging social and economic conditions in communities across South Africa and beyond . . .as anyone can use it ! Dreamcatcher, working at grass roots, was motivated to produce the programme after observing stressful circumstances across multiple communities, impacting on the well-being and quality of life of women and girls. Today there are vaccination programmes for many life-threatening diseases, but very little, if anything, is done to inoculate girls and women against stress factors faced in their daily lives. This programme is our humble contribution to recognise these challenges and be a part of the solution.

Kick-Up with Kamamma, is a free resource to develop a stronger body and mind, increase serotonin and relieve stress wherever women and girls find themselves. It was our vision that Kick-Up with Kamamma could additionally contribute to the development of self-esteem and confidence.

Ideating and spending two years conceptualising Kick-Up with Kamamma, our founder worked with Debbie Siebers, Fitness and Empowerment Expert, to develop the themes and routines. Enthusing a team of filming and production experts, passionate about South Africa, and willing to help us bring this to life, we started filming in March of 2015. The four routines options are: warm up, cardio, resistance and stretch. They  were inspired by daily chores emulating nature, lifestyle and music promoting core body strengthening exercises, with daily chores whilst simultaneously identifying and celebrating the wonders of South Africa:

As our crew travelled around the country, with its stunning environment into communities across the country, it became clear that Kick-Up with Kamamma is a much-needed tool. As relevant then as it is today. As the benefits are universal, we are making it available free of charge on the link below.
