Postpartum Fitness through Stroller Strides

I read a lot of articles about postpartum fitness and it's role in helping new moms stave off depression. There is some great information out there and some very "interesting" information as well.

As a fitness instructor and Stroller Strides program provider I can personally attest to the wonderful benefits of getting your body moving after having a baby. Even many months after having a baby the challenges of motherhood can be overwhelming. But time after time I can see and feel my mind and body react to being outside, doing physical exercise and being in the presence of other moms.

I can see it in the faces of the moms in my classes too. They may arrive at class dragging from too little sleep or tense from life's stresses. After an hour of working out, laughing, singing and commiserating with each other they are visibly happier, more awake, walk lighter on their feet, hold themselves differently and exude joy.

I love being a part of this transformation. Stroller Strides really does make a marked difference in the lives of moms. It's not just moving body parts back into their pre-baby position, it's embracing a new season of life and practicing joy while doing it.


If you feel like your postpartum fitness routine could use some energizing (or if you just want to start doing something period) then join the moms of Stroller Strides around the nation who are investing in themselves and getting big returns both physically and mentally. You owe it to yourself and your baby to be your best. Stroller Strides is here to help.

See you in class!
