STROLLERFIT!

Some of y'all know that I joined a mom's workout group called Strollerfit. I saw the ad right after I had Nola but I though it was a class just walking and pushing strollers, BOY WAS I WRONG! Some of my friends go and Ann is an instructor so I tried a free class in the spring and it was just what I was looking for...a lot of cardio, strength training, and abs. It is perfect because it's just like having a personal trainer but with other people in the class and I get to bring Nola. She is engaged the whole class and at the end she gets to play with the other kids. I've been going pretty consistently 5 days a week, 1 hour a day, missing only a few classes. I've only lost about 5 lbs. (I like to eat!) but I definitely notice that I have my muscles back and have lost inches. I feel like an athlete again. Fortunately, they are starting up a wed night class and sat mornings so I can keep going.
This is the first excercise program I have stuck with and I LOVE it.

Monday morning was client appreciation day. After class the owner, Stephanie, hired a storyteller for the kids and they had a raffle. The kids were asked to dress up for it and Nola was all in!

CHEESE!

Sitting nicely before story time!

One of the other moms..isn't her daughter so cute!

Story time...one of our mom's read the story and the book lady did sign language.

What a treat!
(No I didn't win the raffle...RATS!)

"I know Mom, I owe you 20 squats for eating this mini bagel!"

This has really been an awesome experience for Nola and myself...she is constantly mimicking the exercises we do...squats, lunges, even sprint runs with her baby stroller ( I thought those were done in high school)... it is too cute...I will try to get a video. Also, she counts down now AND she is seeing how important it is to exercise! I promise they didn't pay me!
