Stroller Striders

I was trying to get out the door to go do a BodyPump class at the gym, but little Nathan screamed his head off as soon as I got in the car, so I decided to scrap it. 30 minutes later I went out to get the diaper bag that I had left in the car and my neighbor was buckling her son in her car and asked if I wanted to go to Stroller Striders with her. I was still dressed for the gym and Nathan had settled down, so I figured why not? I have to admit that I have seen these Stroller Strider moms before...and laughed my head off at them...running around the mall with their kids in their strollers. It seemed the epitome of suburban motherhood. Now, I really can appreciate being able to take your kids with you while you get a workout. With the exception of the arms and the abs, it wasn't that hard. It was nice to do something active, though. I don't know if I will do it again as it is $15 a class and babysitting at my gym is only $3.50...that is if I can psyche myself enough to take him to the gym and have them watch him. Maybe tomorrow...

    I thought about those stroller striders groups too... But way too expensive!

    He is cute! $15 a class is crazy. We do daycare at the gym all the time. It was hard to leave him the first time but he didn't seem to mind.

    I love the little hand-knitted sweater.

    $15 a class is just the drop-in rate, they also offer other pricing options. You should try it when the classes are outside!
