We had a great time at our first Stroller Strides event at Phillips Park Thursday morning. Five of our moms attended; Melissa, Jill, Kim, Rosalind and Priscilla. We also had our instructor Jenny and a Stroller Strides mom Ashley. We started off with stretching at the Sunken Garden then did our cardio work in the garden and throughout the zoo. We also used resistance bands and learned a variety of exercises to strengthen our arms and build muscle. Afterwards the kids played at the playground and fed the ducks in the pond. According to Jill's heart monitor we did 50 minutes of exercise and burned 240 calories....which we all decided we could "spend" on an extra brownie later that day!! (Just kidding...that would defeat the purpose right!) All in all it was a great time with beautiful weather and a good workout. Enjoy the pictures! Thank you Melissa for organizing this event and providing us with the synopsis of the days events for those of you who could not attend!
