Today was the best!

Today was the best class! I am reminded everyday how fortunate I am to teach Stroller Strides classes - and be surrounded by amazing women. To all you women in my Stroller Strides classes, you really lift my spirits and keep me going! You are all so wonderful...okay, okay, I know, I am pregnant and hormonal. I'll stop being mushy.

On another note, we find out this Wednesday, April 30, if our 2nd child will be a boy or girl. I am so excited!

AND...Valerie, a good friend and former Stroller Strides member will host her Grand Opening of Stroller Strides in Memorial Park. Wooohooo! Congrats Val. =)

Okay, here are some pictures of some recent SS classes at Bear Creek Park.

Spring time!

So it's spring time and I am in the midst of planning a fun spring event for my stroller strides classes. I am hoping to get new moms to sign up - and stress the importance of pre AND postnatal exercise for mom and baby!

Not only does it help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, it decreases the occurance of post-partum depression, post-pregnacy aches and pains and most importantly, it helps keep you sane! :-)

That said, as a mother of a 17 month old and expecting baby number two in September, I am now remembering how difficult it can be to drag yourself out of bed each morning, take care of baby, pets and yourself -- and get out the door in-time to teach my Stroller Strides classes. I once again, emphasize with the pregnant mommy, but now I also remember the importance of exercise during pregnancy.

Once I get to class, I am ALWAYS glad to be there, both for the exercise and the social support that I give AND recieve from my members.

Bottom line, exercise is important...and a lot more fun when you are with other mommies! =)

So, no matter how tired you are, drag yourself out of bed, eat a healthy breakfast, and hit the pavement with your stroller. You'll be glad you did!!!
