We all LOVE cardio day!!!

Moms Run to Give Their Babies Tickles!

Every Wednesday at the Stroller Strides in Anaheim Hills we have cardio day. It's the perfect way to get in a great workout, change things up a bit, and burn A LOT of calories.

We start class of with Sprints with Tickle Squats and end things with Planks.



I know the moms dread cardio day, but always feel great after class. We always have our playgroups after class, this week was bubbles and it's always a hit, the kids run after the bubble and love every minute of it. They are such simple creatures. :)













We will be doing ball pit next week so come join us for another great cardio day and then let the kids play in the ball pit. No matter what age, they will have a BLAST!!!

MOM OF THE MONTH - AUGUST

Christine Moore

Who are the members of your family?

My husband of six years Ryan, our nine month old Hudson, and our two miniature schnauzers Britain and Kate.

What was/is your previous and/or current career?

I have been in marketing for seven years and most recently worked as an Associate Brand Manager at E&J Gallo Winery. While there, I managed three, premium wine brands. I love wine and all things relating to it.

Why did you decide to be a stay at home mom?

After returning to work, I decided that 60-70 hour weeks were not going to be conducive to the way we wanted to raise Hudson. While working, I only saw Hudson for 45 minutes each day. Unfortunately, flex time or part time was not an option. As a result, we decided to completely change our lives. We sold our house and moved closer to family. Now, I am looking for part time or flextime work because I love working, but feel a balance is necessary.

What does motherhood mean to you?

Everything. Since becoming a mother, I have learned a lot about myself as well as raising another person. I had no idea how little sleep I could survive on or how much love I could give one person. I do not mind the late nights or the poopy diapers. It has been such a positive experience. I look at other mothers including my own so much differently now. I realize we are all walking saints. Motherhood is the most powerful and special thing of which I will part. Needless to say, I am excited to continue the journey.

How long have you been a Stroller Strides member and what has Stroller Strides done for you?

I have been a member for almost two months (I think). As for what Stroller Strides has done for me, it has left me soar on numerous occasions :-) I really love SS because it is the only thing thus far which has motivated me to work out on a regular basis. Who knows, maybe one of these days I will look toned....

What are three of your favorite things (besides your husband and kids!)?

Starbucks, wine, and traveling.
Tell us something about you that would surprise us.

I got engaged at 23 and married at 24. (Sounds too young to get married!) My husband and I have now been together 11 years.

If we asked your husband what he thought your best qualities are, what would he say for personality? physically? .
Personality: My sense of humor

Physically: My tush
