Welcome to all of our new moms, current moms, business partners, and friends! As summer winds down and the crisp autumn air is upon us, we look forward to an amazing new Fall Season! We are excited about some new additions to our instructor team - they are amazing women, moms and leaders and our moms LOVE them! We are also excited about our newest location, Fountains at Roseville! Each and every Thursday we meet from 9:00-10:00 for fitness and fun...it's window shopping at its finest! We are thrilled to be offering Stroller Strides in Rocklin AND Roseville. Lincoln moms are also able to enjoy our program at Whitney Ranch Park, which is conveniently located just up the street from Twelve Bridges in Lincoln. Thanks to our wonderful team of instructors, you will be able to attend classes SIX days a week, and you are free to choose which location you'd like to attend. With a $55 monthly membership, you're paying just $2.20 per class with the option of four locations!

We have so many different ways in which you can reach out and make some amazing friends- through class, play dates, and Mom's Night Out events. The instructors and the moms should be congratulated on building this fitness program and developing a truly unique and genuine Mom Support Group. The moms in our Stroller Strides program are here to make changes in their fitness, but also to talk about their new babies, share stories, listen to advice and learn from each other.

I challenge all of you to meet your fitness goals, step up your pace, and really push yourself! I applaud you on your dedication, loyalty and strength that you bring to this program every day! Thank you!

Stroller Strides is not just a walk in the park! I am always thrilled to have a new mom try out our class and tell me afterwards how pleasantly surprised she was...that the class was so challenging, yet so interactive with the little ones. Stroller Strides provides a 60 minute total body workout that incorporates cardio, strength training and flexibility training. It's a great way to get in shape, have some fun and meet other moms, all while bonding with your little one. All stroller-aged children (ages 6 weeks and up) are welcome. You and your child will get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, sing familiar songs, and have a FUN time together. Be sure to view a sample class by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page!

Thanks to our partnership with William Jessup University, if it is ever raining or extremely cold, we will go indoors to their wonderful Activities Building that boasts multiple basketball and volleyball courts, along with over 100,000 square feet to run! During the extreme heat or 'spare the air' days, we go indoors to California Family Fitness where we enjoy a great workout in the air conditioning. Simply call (800)959-1537 to find out if we are going indoors.

Please join us by the Sacramento Zoo on Thursday, September 25th from 9:15-10:30 am as Stroller Strides teams up with the Baby Signs Program for a Sign & Stride class! This fun, interactive event will combine the cardio and strength training of a Stroller Strides class with your baby and the hands-on learning approach of the Baby Signs program. All you need to bring is your little one in a sturdy stroller along with a towel or mat for abdominal work . We will meet at William Land Park, just across from the Sacramento Zoo, for a full hour of fitness and signing fun for you and your little ones!

Stroller-aged children from 6 weeks up will enjoy music, signing, and meeting BeBoo the bear! Moms will learn about the Stroller Strides and Baby Signs programs in a supportive environment as their children interact with others during class and playtime. Stroller Strides' certified fitness instructors (who are also moms) will provide information after class about our program, and Baby Signs certified instructors will educate parents about the benefits of signing with their children. It's two incredible programs in one class!

This special event is absolutely FREE with the donation of a book to be given to My Sister's House, a local safe house for moms with children. Pre-registration is required, so please be sure to click on the 'Free Class' tab and specify Sign & Stride as your class location. There will be a Raffle Drawing and Refreshments immediately following class, then join us for a playgroup at the Sacramento Zoo! **Admission to the zoo is separate, but we have secured a reservation for our group. With our group rate, admission is $5.50 for adults, $3.50 for ages 3-12, and babies up to 2 years old are free. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Kelly Menold at (916)316-9670. We look forward to seeing you there!

I have always been physically active with aerobics, weight training or yoga but found it challenging to get motivated after the birth of my daughter. Needing a push, I sampled several other organized stroller groups but found Stroller Strides to offer an excellent mix of mommy and baby time. I value the time I get to focus on myself as I find that most of it is spent taking care of my family.
 
Stroller Strides has allowed me the opportunity to interact with other moms, spend time with my daughter, clear my head and get back into shape. Another benefit is that I am setting a healthy example for my daughter at an early age, demonstrating that exercise should be a crucial part of her life.
 
I would like to thank you for bringing Stroller Strides to the Rocklin area. The timing could not have been better for my daughter and me. Without a doubt, you and Stroller Strides have made me a much better mom and that’s all that matters in the big picture.

~Water bottle and snacks for your child(ren)
~Yoga mat or towel for abdominal work
~Comfortable athletic shoes and clothes you can layer since temperatures can vary
~Sturdy stroller (any stroller will work except for an umbrella stroller, for safety reasons)
~Sunscreen, if needed
~Consider keeping a 'Stroller Strides' bag always packed for your little one(s)...items such as a favorite snack, a sippy cup, books and a favorite toy or activity along with any comfort items, such as a blanket, pacifier, etc. will help ensure an extra-fun and special morning :)

***Please plan to arrive at class 10-15 minutes before start time
as we start right at 9:00 and wouldn't want to leave anyone behind!
