Amanda Russell takes fitness in stride. Literally. Russell, mother of a 1-year-old son, runs a workout program for moms called Stroller Strides.
A franchise, Stroller Strides, is a 60-minute class that focuses on cardiovascular activities and muscle-strengthening exercises using resistance bands, body and strollers. Moms are able to interact with their babies throughout their workout.
‘Stroller Strides is not only an amazing workout, but a great social outlet for myself and my daughter,’ said Danielle Rousayne of Pembroke, mother of a 20-month-old daughter. ‘I did not have many friends in the area with children, and these women have become some of my best friends. I love that my daughter can play with other kids.’
This is a great thing. Look around your community if you are a new mom and see if you can find a program like this as well to do more than sit and meet new moms but instead move while you are meeting with other new moms.
What a good idea!! Interacting with your baby while getting back into shape using your strollers! I’ll have to check to see if there is a program like that in my neighborhood.
Im always so amazed by movies stars who have a baby and then get back in shape in what seems like just a few weeks…I wonder if they are doing plans like the one mentioned above…?
