Getting Back in Shape with Fit4Mom Austin Metro

Raise your “mouse” if you’re a mom. Raise your “mouse” again if you’re looking to get in shape and find a way that doesn’t take you away from your new little one! Today’s post is for you. Contributor, Allena looked to Stroller Strides now known as Fit4Mom to help get her post-baby body back in shape. Stroller Strides is a stroller-based fitness program designed for moms of all fitness levels. Each 60-minute, total body workout cardio, strength, toning, songs, and activities. Our certified fitness instructors offer a variety of fun class formats both indoors and outdoors. All locations also offer a free Plum Moms Club so moms can form lasting friendships through organized playdates, Moms’ Nights Out, and activities for the whole family. Here’s what Allena has to say about this awesome program.

I exercised with Stroller Strides for about 3 months while I was on maternity leave with my daughter, Drew. It was an amazing experience, to say the least. I think Stroller Strides offers something that a lot of exercise programs can’t – the chance to work out and bond with your children as well as make friends with other mothers. When you work out at a gym, you have to put your child in the gym nursery (if they are even old enough to be there) and that situation can be scary for some kids and is also a great way for your kids to pick up germs. With Stroller Strides, the workout is designed to include the kids while being extremely challenging. I think the best part for me was meeting other mothers. I have experienced post-partum after both of my children and the opportunity to talk to other mothers 3 times a week was invaluable to my recovery. Also, because the entire group is mothers, everyone understands when you need to take a potty training break or console an upset child or babywear {and miss doing burpees!} because your 10 week old won’t stay in her car seat without screaming {I’m talking to you, Drew} – the kids always come first! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Stroller Strides and would encourage anyone who is looking for a unique group exercise experience that is for mothers – this is it!

Fit4Mom (formerly known as Stroller Strides), recently re-branded to encompass programs for moms of all ages and stages of motherhood. Fit4Mom Austin Metro currently offers 2 programs: Stroller Strides & Body Back. In 2014, we hope to bring Fit4Mom (prenatal fitness classes) and Stroller Barre (stroller class based on yoga, Pilates, & barre) to the Austin area.
