Mommy and Cooper join Stroller Strides!

Cooper and mommy joined Stroller Strides today!

Despite mommy's ongoing vertigo (about 4 months now) we decided that it's time to get back to excercise and meet other moms and babies, even if I am dizzy. Who knows, maybe it will even help!

Stroller Strides is a group of mom's with thier babies who get together and work-out for an hour. We meet at the town center, only a 15 minute walk from our house -- so Cooper and I head out nice and early today.

Well, let me just say, wow! That class kicked mommy's butt.

It was fun though. The moms were really nice and they meet after class once a week to do an activity with the kids so it will be a great way to get to know other moms and babies. Then once a month, they have a special moms night out -- which also sounds fun. For the excercise, I thought we would just be walking. Boy was I wrong! We did cardio and resistence work, with bands. We did all kinds of running drills and jumping jacks and push ups --- so mommy was exhausted by the end. Cooper loved it! He looked around the whole time in awe of everyone moving around acting crazy. And all the moms sang loudly to the babies while they worked out. Cooper's eyes got as big as saucers when we all did the itsy bitsy spider in unison. Then he fell asleep. What a good little boy he is!

So I decided to sign up for the month -- $60, and they have classes 6 days a week. I think I will start out with Tuesdays and Thursdays and Saturdays only though. And as an added bonus, all the wives bring their husbands on Saturdays so they can join in the fun. I think daddy will get a kick out of it -- and a really good work-out!

Here are some pictures of the group fun:
