Essentials for a great StrollerStrength class with FITMOM Durham!
I love this time of year! The sun shines brighter, the birds chirp their singsongs to one another and FITMOM Durham gets ready to head outside for our outdoor fitness programs for new moms, babies & toddlers! Our classes are offered throughout Durham Region in Ajax, Pickering & Oshawa.
Whether you are new to our programs or a returning mom here are some essentials to help you make the most of our outdoor programs!
1) Get a hat. Seriously. You don't want sun damage to rear it's ugly head 5 years after your outdoor fitness program wraps up. You will already be putting a hat on your baby or toddler to protect their faces from the sun, you should too mom!
2) Sunscreen. It's a must, remember the post above regarding sun damage? I encourage you to chose a brand that is waterproof and sweat-proof, because we will get sweaty. That's a guarantee!
3) Consider your feet! When was the last time you replaced your footwear? They are an essential part of your workout gear. New shoes that are suitable for walking/running will prevent injury and keep you comfortable all summer long.
4) For your baby consider a weather protector/shield. We enjoy the beautiful outdoors from May-September. Sometimes it rains and your baby needs some extra protection. Bug covers are also a great idea! Bring snacks and water for your little one too (if appropriate).
5) Don't forget your water! Find a refillable water bottle in your house and make sure you bring it with you to each class. Consider having one in your car too for after your workout to sip on the way home :)
6) What if it rains? Sometimes it does- although Mother Nature and I are on fairly good terms and over the years the rain has either been before or after the class so we were able to enjoy our class. If it's raining we do have covered areas that we can access. In the event of a thunder/lightning storm class will be cancelled. Make sure you are on our Facebook Page. Any cancellations will be announced here.
7) Take advantage of our Unlimited Summer StrollerStrength promo. As many classes a week as you want from May 11th-August 15th, 2015 for only $180+hst. Register online here
