Sun Smarts for Stroller Fitness

 

Slip! Slop! Slap! Seek! Slide! Slip on sun protective clothing (and a stroller sun shade).  Slop on sunscreen.  Slap on a wide brimmed hat. Seek Shade and slide on sunglasses. This is what your children are going to grow up hearing so you might as well get them started early.  Don't forget to be a good role model.
  
Sunscreen and Young Babies
Sunscreen is not recommended for babies less than 6 months of age.  You can work around this be slipping, slapping, seeking and sliding in the meantime.

What kind of exercises will be be doing? 

We begin with a warm-up to prepare our bodies and prevent injuries.  Next your instructor will lead you through cardiovascular and strength training exercises.  We focus on muscular endurance (2-3 sets, 10-15 reps) using dumbbells, resistance bands, body weight and more.  We cool down before focusing on core work and flexibility.  We always aim to end class with relaxation.

 

What should I wear?

Well fitting athletic shoes that still have cushion and traction, a supportive sports bra and breathable, comfortable clothing. 

 

What should I bring?

A water bottle and a small towel.  If this is your first class with Fit 4 Two, please remember to bring your completed/signed PARmed-X for Pregnancy form.
