Moms See Results At Stroller Strides

There is nothing I love more than hearing the success stories of my moms at Stroller Strides.

Last Thursday, in the afternoon, I got a great email from one of the moms saying she could hardly walk up her stairs because she was so sore. I LOVE that.

Like I always tell my moms "I'm here to HELP!" I don't know if they believe me.

I also love the story of another mom who recently went to the movies with her husband. Behind the theater is a very steep set of stairs to a parking lot. As she was bounding up the stairs her husband was imploring her to slow down. It's a great testimony to her success as she gets stronger and stronger each week and we can all see the difference.

There is nothing like being able to celebrate the successes of the moms who attend our classes. It's fun to see them excited about the changes they are seeing and to see their confidence levels soar as they improve their strength, flexibility and cardiovascular health.

We've had some great results this summer in our group and I'm excited to see what the next couple of months bring to these dedicated moms.

Way to go girls!!!

Beating the gas prices at Stroller Strides

Gas is ridiculous in my town right now. Probably in yours too. My dad recently came for a visit and said that in Colorado he is paying $3.85 for a gallon while I am paying $4.25. That's a pretty significant difference. I don't understand how it all works - how a place in the middle of the country pays less than a place on the coast. It's all Greek to me.

But to beat the insanity that is now my reality I've started riding my bike to Stroller Strides. Here's a picture of my set up.

It's called an Xtracycle and it's my regular bike with an extension on the back that allows me to carry my Stroller Strides bag with all my gear and then attach a trailer for my kids. The trailer turns into a stroller so we use that for class.

Unfortunately it's all uphill from my house to class, but it definitely warms me up. And, then I get the reward of going downhill home. It's pretty sweet.

Well, I hope you are finding ways to beat the craziness at the pump. I doubt it will get any better soon. But why not be happy in spite of the gloom? This bike makes me very, very happy!

Out of Town Stroller Strides Visitors

We had some out of town visitors today in our Stroller Strides class. It was a total blast to have S & T from Portland join us for our workout. The breezes were finally blowing and we had a fun class with water balloons. It's always fun to meet other Stroller Striders so we were glad for the visitors.

If you missed our LUNA Moms Club after class we had a great time with water guns, balloons, the parachute and other fun. It was a perfect day!

Enjoy the weekend!!
