Stroller Strides
It seems rather strange to think that a year ago I joined Stroller Strides. It has been really fun and great to meet other Moms. And, I am 100% sure that I owe my great post-baby weight loss to this class (I'm one size smaller than I was before I had Dominic!).
The class here in Seattle is way more intense than the New York class I was taking. I think in the long run it's the best for me since I need to be challenged more. I have moved up to a red band (there are three levels of resistance bands, green, red, and blue with green the easiest and blue the hardest). In New York most people used green and a few red. Here in Seattle, about half the class uses red and the other half is split between blue and green (and the green band people are all new to the class). The class here is held outdoors everyday of the year no matter what the weather which I think is a bit crazy. The other day my car said it was 41 degrees and Misti still held class. Yes, I did go despite the cold and I think I worked out harder that day than any other because it was so cold and I really, really wanted to be warm.
I'd highly recommend this class to any Mother out there! It gets you out of the house to exercise and meet other Moms. So, it's great for you physically and mentally.
