Stroller Strides is a total fitness program new moms can do with their babies. It includes power walking and intervals of body toning using exercise tubing and the stroller.

The classes are running now through Sept. 26, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 9 to 10 a.m. at the fountain in Arbor Park in the Shoppes at Arbor Lakes.

Classes are one-hour and are taught by specially trained instructors. Each class consists of a warm up (5 minutes), a power walk and "stations" where moms do a variety of body toning exercises (about 45 minutes) followed by abs and/or stretching (10 minutes). Participants use exercise tubing (which is provided), the stroller and the surrounding environment. All fitness levels are welcome - each member will decide their own intensity.

Those interested just need to bring themselves, their baby and the stroller. Instructors also suggest moms bring water, a hat or sunblock for both them and the baby, and a towel or mat for ground exercises.

The cost is $50/month for unlimited classes or members can buy a 10-class pass for $100. There is usually a $75 registration fee. Registration includes tubing as well. First class is always free.
