Nothing like getting a great workout at Stroller Strides and then getting more of your holiday shopping done at the Stamford Mall!

Here was today's class:
Pinwheel Lunges - Starting with the right leg, lunge to the front, then side, then back. Always make sure your knee tracks above your ankle. Do 15 repetitions and switch sides.
Tickle the toes cardio burst- start out in a deep squat ticking yur little one's toes then jump way up high as if shooting a basketball into the hoop. Repeat 20 times. The babies love this! If you need a lower impact version, instead of the power jump, just come up into a calf raise from the squat.
Triceps extension- anchor the red tube behind your back in your hand and the other handle in opposite arm with elbow bent next to your ear. Extend arm straight up but be sure not to lock your elbow. Repeat 15 times, pulse at top, 2nd set repeat 12 times,pulse at top, last set repeat 10 times and hold at top. Repeat on other side.
Plie squat w/ lateral shoulder raise- start with a plie squat with green tube anchored under feet which are apart for plie squats. Add in lateral raise by bringing arm up to side. Arm should be straight and just raise tube to shoulder height, making sure your wrist is neutral.
Cardio- Jumping Jacks- do jacks for 1 minute.

Hope to see you at class next time!
