Strolling My Way to a Better Body

So all I have to say is that the Stroller Strides class last night kicked my butt. Sam & I tried a new class and it was a great deal more difficult that I thought that it was going to be. I honestly thought, "How hard can it be strolling your baby around the park?" Well, that is not all we did. We did squats & numerous lunges (why can I ever get away from lunges?) push-ups, triceps stuff, jogging around cones backwards (really?) and the infamous plank. Can I tell you how much I hate the stupid plank?! Sam kicks pilates butt, while I can't wait for the torture to end. All in all, it was a good class & I love that I get to spend time with Adam while I am trying to get fit. I was telling Chris last night that I think that it is important to try to be as active as we can possibly be, especially around Adam. I think that it would be a good example to him to try to always be active & not grow up to be a chunky unhealthy couch potato. Believe me, it is not normal for me to be really active. I did not grow up running around & loving to exercise. It also didn't help that I did not have one athletic bone in my body. I have to put in some major effort and while my body is constantly sore from whatever we did that day, I am really happy. I am happy that I can spend some mommy alone time with Adam & do something for myself. (although, God help me, can't I be fit without the plank?) : )
