Stroller Strides - let me take a look.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle printed an article Turn strolling with baby into a workout.  This article summarized the basics of incorporating your baby into your exercise routine.  

Warm up with an easy 5- to 8-minute walk.

At the first stop, use a picnic table for three sets of push-ups. Put your hands on the edge of the tabletop, a little more than shoulder-width apart with fingers pointing forward. Form a diagonal line from head to toe and tighten your abs. After the push-ups, power walk for five minutes.Lastly, cool down. Take a few minutes to lower the heart rate.

At the next stop, do 25 walking lunges, with hands resting on the handlebar. Power walk for about five minutes.

Set the brake on the stroller so that you can do 25 stroller plié squats. Stand behind the stroller and rest hands lightly on handlebars. Place your feet apart much wider than your shoulders, with your toes turned out. Keeping your back straight, bend knees until your thighs and upper body are at a 90-degree angle. Power walk for about five minutes.

Lastly, cool down. Take a few minutes to lower the heart rate.

The company that was mentioned in this article was Stroller Strides.  At this moment there are no Stroller Stride franchises in Rochester, NY.  Maybe some day? Stroller Strides offers a variety of classes including: 

Stroller Strides Outdoor Classes (60 minutes):
Most of our locations nationwide offer outdoor classes. Stroller Strides incorporates the environment, resistance tubing and the stroller to get an all-over body workout in 60 minutes.

Stroller Strides Indoor Classes (55 minutes):
Using various indoor venues around the country, this class can incorporate music, more equipment and a workout full of drills and fun!

Stroller Strides Advanced Outdoor Classes (75 Minutes):
Using the outdoors, the same interval based Stroller Strides class picks up the intensity for a more advanced class that lengthens the workout to 75 minutes.

The best part about a workout like those that Stroller Strides offers is the inclusion factor.  I believe that it is important to incorporate your family into you exercise routine whenever possible.  Your health as a women, wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece, and friend, IS IMPORTANT!  Without your health, we will be without you!  

Being example of a women living a healthy lifestyle is a great gift to give to your family and friends.  Show them that living a healthy life is something you take seriously.  Teach them what you know about healthy eating and show them that exercise can be fun.  You might be surprised when they join you along the way.
