Today Brooke & I went to Stroller Strides. It was actually tougher than I expected, which was a good thing. I'm obviously out of shape at the moment, but hope it wont take too long to regain some stamina and strength. I was worried that the class would be really easy - making it a waste of time once my level of fitness gets back to normal. But, I dont think thats true ... and for sure I'm going to be sore tomorrow after my workout today!
Brooke slept through the entire class, which was what I was hoping. When we got there she was awake, she fell asleep as soon as it started and actually woke up the minute it stopped. I would have liked a bit of a longer window, but I'll take that for now!
The best thing about this class is that its filled with other babies and moms. While I was lucky that Brooke slept through the class, most of the other babies didnt. There was lots of whimpering, crying, and occasional cooing and giggling. It was a great place to get a workout with your baby, and not be embarassed or get frustrated by the fact that babies will be babies! I look forward to future classes and spending some quality time with Brooke while I try to get back into shape :)
