Mommies with a Mission

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our fall Mommies with a Mission Project. This fall the Mommies with a Mission project was dedicated to helping one of our local Stroller Strides moms, a fifth-grade teacher at Pinewood Elementary, prepare her classroom for the upcoming year. With the help of fellow Luna Club members; Kadine Karake and Jessica Barber we successfully delivered a wagon full of school supplies to Pinewood Elementary earlier this week. The school supplies were greatly appreciated by all.

Hula Hoops

To help keep classes exciting during the summer we have incorporated the use of weighted hula hoops into some of our classes. For those of you not familiar with weighted hula hoops, they are filled with water and are actually easier to use then regular hoops. It is suggested that you start hooping just 1 -2 minutes in each direction and work your way up as it may cause bruising. Not only is hula hooping fun and a reminder of your childhood it is an incredible work out and a great way to burn calories while toning your abs!! It was just featured in Health magazine this month. For more exercise ideas with hula hoops check out Health.com/hula. For those of you interested in purchasing a weighted hula hoop; they are $20 for Stroller Strides members and are made locally. Let me know and I’ll be happy to bring an extra one to class for you. This also makes a great gift for new moms – a perfect way to burn off the baby belly !!

Dance / Ballet

What a great class today!! A big Thank You to Peggy!! Today we had Peggy from Florida Arts and Dance studio come and teach us how to become beautiful and graceful dancers...well maybe not graceful. The kids had a great time as they got to dance and participate in ballet exercises with their mommies. We learned some new breathing techniques and new ways to get our kids involved in our workouts. What a fun way to exercise!! For those mommies who attended class today, I would like some feedback. There's a poll at the end of the page where you can vote or just leave me a comment.

Welcome

Welcome all to The Stroller Strides Blog. I have decide to start a blog to keep everyone motivated to work out and create a place where moms can come for support. My interests in sports and nutrition led me to purchase a Stroller Strides franchise 3 years ago. At that time, stroller fitness was a new concept, but I was excited by the idea of promoting exercise to new moms and helping encourage them to become healthy role models for their children.
I’m an AFAA certified Personal Trainer and proficient in CPR. I am an accomplished runner and have completed numerous full and half marathons and I’m active in the running community. In addition to running, I also like to practice pilates and ballet. I have an 11-year-old son; Kai, who keeps me busy with football, soccer and baseball. I’m also an active volunteer in the community and at Jensen Beach Elementary.
You can expect information on this blog to help you with exercise, nutrition, events and a lot more. Also, I will be posting polls to help me keep you motivated so your input is greatly appreciated. Don’t forget to check out the new summer schedule which starts June 8th. I’m looking forward to seeing new and old Stroller Striders in class during the summer months and welcome your ideas and suggestions to make this the best summer ever!!!
In stride,
Lisa

Stroller Strides summer schedule will begin on Monday, June 8th. We will hold class on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9-10am in the comfort of the air-conditioned community building at Indian Riverside Park. In addition to the monthly rate of $50 ($4.20/class), we will also offer our annual Summer Splash Pass for those moms who would like to continue attending class, but are unsure if their schedule will allow them to attend several days per week. The Summer Splash Pass will be a 15 class pass valid June 1st – August 12th for just $110. That brings the cost to just $7.30/class. We will offer The Summer Splash Pass at the reduced rate of $99 for teachers (must show id). Stroller Strides will take a “summer vacation” beginning Thursday, August 13th thru Friday, August 21st. We will resume our normal class schedule of 5 days/week on Monday, August 24th.

Jessica will continue to host weekly playgroups on Monday mornings after class and will also be hosting our summer Mom’s Night Out events while Heidi is having baby #2!! She has planned a few fun filled “field trips” your child will be sure to enjoy. Make sure you check out the schedules posted on the blog.

Thank you for your continued support!!!
