I'm so happy to have found Jo and this community! I go to the Stroller Strides twice a week with my 8-month son and it has become the only workout we do. I started when he was around 3 months and I couldn't do other workouts because they wouldn't allow kids or he would start crying while I was on zoom. Being able to not only bring him with me (and no other moms or the instructor Jo are judging if he's fussy!) to get a good workout, but also to involve him by singing, moving him around, and getting him some fresh air, has been so great.
Jo tailors the workouts to who is attending that day, and it's just the right amount of challenging while not being too much for a postpartum body. As I've recovered more from my C-section, she adds variations to the exercises. She is so thoughtful in planning the classes and in building a community with fun icebreakers, plenty of time to chat during class, and hangouts after with coffee for us and toys for the babies/toddlers. I've met some great moms through these hangouts and always look forward to going again.
