Get Fit Challenge-November 2010

momMeTime Fitness — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 19:58:00 GMT

Do you have some personal fitness goals for 2010?
~ Do you need a little 'extra' motivation/incentive?
~ Would you like a little (healthy) competition?

Join Stroller Strides®’ National "Get Fit Challenge"!

This will be a 3 month long challenge Starting November 22nd, to see what changes you can make in your life to create a healthier, stronger, leaner you! Just think, you've already got the exercise part down (you may just need to step it up a notch or two at class) so now you just need to add in the proper eating habits. The best part is that you will have your fellow Stroller Striders encouraging you along the way so you are sure to succeed! Enter as an individual or enter as a couple with your spouse!
Note - you MUST be at least 9 months postpartum with NO KNOWN HEALTH CONCERNS to enter the challenge. The person whom makes the most significant improvements in their fitness levels will be our "Get Fit Challenge Winner".

Are you up for it?

DETAILS:
Register with Stephanie Klein NO LATER than November 15th, at stephanieklein@strollerstrides.net.

The initial testing will be done the Friday November 19th at 10:30 at the Walt Whitman Mall and Saturday November 20th at 10:30 at Tanger Outlets. You will receive a body fat analysis test preformed by Stephanie, weight, measurements and a get fit book.

If you cannot make it either one of these days please contact Stephanie at stephanieklein@strollerstrides.netto make other arrangements

SUPPORT IS PARAMOUNT! Start telling your family and friends that this is something you are doing and that you need their support. Maybe your husband even wants to jump aboard the healthy lifestyle train with you? Make your health a priority…your family is counting on you!

SET UP AND VERBALIZE REALISTIC GOALS: Where would you like to see yourself in 3 months? This goal is different for everyone. We all have very different body types and everyone has a comfortable zone that they should be at. Know what that is for you and make it a healthy, reachable goal.

THE WINNERS will be the persons who lose the most % of body fat points. This makes it fair for ALL body types, sizes and shapes to compete against each other in this challenge. PLEASE make sure you understand this.

EXAMPLE -
Person 1 starts out at 40% fat, and drops down to 30%, they've lost 10% fat,
But only 25% of their total body fat percentage.
This is how it is figured..... (.10 divided by .40 = .25)

Person 2 starts out at 20% fat, and drops down to 10%, they've lost 10% fat,
BUT 50% of their total body fat percentage
This is how it is figured..... (.10 divided by .20 = .50)
Person 2 would be the winner.

THE COST
The cost for the challenge is $50 and includes the weekly weight ins, before and after results, weekly tips and recipes.

SELF MOTIVATION: We will take care of giving you fantastic workouts at your Stroller Strides classes but the self motivating part comes with your eating. You are on your own here because we are all so different and our likes and dislikes vary, you need to know what works best for you. We will give you healthy recipe ideas and suggestions every week for the duration of the challenge. Remember, this is NOT A DIET but a lifestyle change that you commit to making to see results.

YOU AND STROLLER STRIDES AS A TEAM: You may NOT hire a personal trainer to help you during this challenge. You can attend Stroller Strides classes as much as you want and work out on your own as much as you want aside from classes at home or at a gym if you wish. You must be a current Stroller Strides member, instructor or playgroup captain to enter the challenge.

*NOTE: Before embarking on any fitness program, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your physician. Stroller Strides does not guarantee any specific results with this challenge.

Regular Exercise
(Stroller Strides of course!)

Healthy Eating Habits
+
Commitment and Consistency

Possibly a NEW and improved healthier you!!!

Take a Sick Day for the Soul

momMeTime Fitness — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:19:00 GMT

Think back to those childhood days when faking illness was considered an art form used for one very important purpose: to guarantee a great day of sleeping in, watching TV all day long, being pampered and wearing your pajamas to breakfast, lunch AND DINNER. Ahh, the luxury of a (not so) sick day.

PLAY HOOKY

Act like a Kindergartner: Wake up early to watch cartoons; stay in your pajamas all day long; eat cookies for breakfast; have naptime; run around outside; eat peanut butter and jelly for lunch; laugh a lat; make a mess; be completely carefree

Act like a Teenage: Paint your nails bright red; red magazines and take the quizzes; eat chips and drink sodas (not too much!); chat on the phone for hours; ride a roller coaster; watch a scary movie; read trashy novels; don't call you mother; break all the rules.

Act like a Responsible Adult: Balance your checkbook; clean the house; do the laundry; organize the closet; catch up on some reading; buy a gadget for your kitchen; go grocery shopping; eat three well balanced meals; to go be early-HUMMM this one sounds like me EVERYDAY minus the screaming kids!!!

A Broken Heart

momMeTime Fitness — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:35:00 GMT

My best friend was taken from me March 15, 2010

A Broken Heart

You were taken away from me and I just don't understand why,
God took a piece of me and didn't even let me say goodbye
A best friend, a companion, the most loyal dog I ever had
You were always there for me, especially when I was sad
A precious little soul that was so easy for me to see
I really don't understand why God took you from me
You gave me unconditional love, a love so innocent and pure
If only I could have done, just a little bit more
I am so sorry I wasn't with you, when it was your time to leave
I wish I had done things differently, I sit here and grieve.
The sparkle in your eyes may be gone
but the memories of your life will always live on
In our hearts you have filled a special place
The happiness and joy you brought to us we could never erase
I hope you know Moo Moo how much you mean to me
If only I would have know I promise I would have done things differently
I would have stayed with you all through the night
I would have never EVER went on that flight
If I had known that day would be the end
I would have stayed with you my forever friend
One day I know I will see you again
That will be the day my broken heart with mend.

I will never forget you Mooskie

Life's Lessons...

momMeTime Fitness — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:46:00 GMT

One of my favorite things to read. I truly believe everything it says and live my life this way...

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were
meant to be there….to serve some sort of purpose, teach u a lesson or
help figure out who you are or who you want to become

You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you
know that every moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you at the time you may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without
overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer
Stupidity all occurs to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved,
Straight, flat road to nowhere
Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life.
The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are,
And the bad experiences can be learned from.
In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart
forgive them because
they have helped you learn and trust and the importance of being cautious
to whom you open your heart to

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only
Because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open
your heart and eyes to little things

Make everyday count
Appreciate every moment and take from it
everything that you possibly can,
for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you never talked to before, and actually listen

Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are great individual and believe in yourself,
for if you don’t believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you.

How to Choose a Jogging Stroller

momMeTime Fitness — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:37:00 GMT

Please check out this great article by Lisa Druxman, Founder of Stroller Strides

How To Choose A Jogging Stroller

Did you know that your jogging stroller may be the longest lasting piece of baby equipment in your home? Unlike many baby products that your baby outgrows in a short time, a good jogging stroller can carry you from newborn well through early childhood. So, it’s important to find the right one for you. Here are some things to look for.
Swivel / Fixed Wheel – We suggest a swivel wheel for its turning ease. You can literally turn it with one hand. A traditional fixed wheel jogger has to be pushed on the back wheels to turn. But for longer runs, you want a fixed wheel. The ideal stroller can be set as fixed or used as a swivel.

Reclining Seat – When baby is happy, mommy is happy. Look for a jogger that can recline back in case your little one wants to take a nap.

Infant Adaptor – Many of the jogging strollers now have adaptors so you can put your car seat in it right from the start.

Wheel Size – Bigger wheels are generally best for heavy runners or rough terrain. Smaller wheels are better for walking on smooth surfaces.

Height – Check the height of the stroller. You should be able to walk naturally and not have to hunch over to push a stroller. Posture is very important.

Transportation – A stroller might push great and look great but it does you no good if you can’t get it in your car if you want to take it somewhere. Actually test out how easy it is to fold up and lift. Then test out how easy it is to unfold and set back up. A good jogging stroller can be folded and unfolded in one step. Make sure it fits in your trunk!

Baby Comfort – Look for things like padded seat, an adjustable canopy and possibly a snack tray option. You want your baby as comfortable as possible during the ride.

Remember, a jogging stroller can last you for many years so choose wisely. It will be a worth while investment!

MomME Time

Moms everywhere tend to put themselves on the bottom of the priority list. They are so busy taking care of their families, their homes, their work and the family dog that their own self care is neglected to say the least. Well, it’s time that mom puts herself on the top rung of that ladder. Let’s face it, if mom doesn’t take care of herself, how is she supposed to take care of everyone else? If that’s not enough to convince you that you deserve attention, consider this. What we won’t do for ourselves we will do for our children. Do you want them to know how to embrace health and wellness? Well then you need to be the role model mom. When children see you choosing to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, taking time to exercise and practicing a bit of peaceful living through mediation, massage or even a walk in the park, they learn better practices for themselves. Practice Opti-Mom health and do something good for yourself this weekend.

Today I got a pedicure and my hair blown out (I totally feel like a WOMEN) Let me tell you that the two hours of ME time have benefited the WHOLE family. Let's face it...WHEN MOMMA ISN'T HAPPY NO ONE IS HAPPY!!!!

Please share what you are going to do for YOURSELF this weekend...

Pirate we will miss you...

momMeTime Fitness — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:43:00 GMT

Today marks a sad day...

Please everyone send your purr-rayers and good thoughts our way. My family (my sister) has lost their beloved dog Pirate. Pirate was a sweet loving dog who adored my niece Brielle. Pirate may have been small but he was no sissy!!! His brothers included two pitbulls and a huge German Shepard (and I'm talking huge). He certainty was the smallest of the bunch (only weighing about 10 lbs) but he ran like the rest of them. Unfortunately Pirates life ended tragically today. We can be thankful that he didn't suffer. He is at peace and we know he is waiting for us...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

**We love you Pirate and we will miss you dearly. We can’t wait to see you again one day and we know there is one star up in heaven shining a little bit brighter.**

What is unique about our program?

Stroller Strides is a total fitness program for new moms that they can do with their stroller age child. It includes power walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller. Classes are taught by specially trained instructors. Please get doctor's permission before starting this or any other exercise.

The workouts are 1-hour. Each class consists of a warm up (5 minutes), a power walk and "stations" where we do a variety of body toning exercises (about 45 minutes) followed by abs and/or stretching (10 minutes). We use exercise tubing (which we provide for you), the stroller and the environment to create our gym. Please don't worry if your child is fussy during class- your child is priority! All fitness levels are welcome- each member will decide their own intensity. There are also modifications for each exercise.

All you need to bring is you, your child and the stroller- just about any kind of stroller will do so long as it's not prone to tipping. We also suggest you bring WATER, a hat or sunblock for both you and your child, and a towel or mat for our ground exercises.

Attend class whenever you can. If you can only make it once a week, then try some of the exercises at home on your own. The key to getting back in shape and staying in shape is consistency.

We recommend waiting until your baby is at least 6 weeks of age to begin class. They can take classes up to any age so long as they still enjoy a ride in the stroller.

So be ready to sweat, be ready to make some great friends and be ready to have some FUN!

Class Information Line 888-451-4948
In case of inclement weather, class location may change from outdoors to indoors OR may be canceled. Any changes or cancellations will be posted HERE on this website and on our class information line 888-451-4948. Please be sure to check/call after 7:30am
