Strollerfit Program Gives Parents A Real Workout

Finding time to exercise can be difficult for any parent. But a new program at Summerlin Hospital is helping moms get their workout in by combining exercise time with stroller time. It's called Strollerfit, an exercise program designed not just for moms, but for their babies, too. Alison Love has been bringing her nine month old daughter Jillian to the class now for two months. "I thought it would be a great excuse to get out of the house, do something healthy." "Being a mom is a marathon. You are going full speed all day long you never know, you could be going full speed at 3AM and this class is helped to design to kind of keep your endurance going and keep you very fit and happy," explains Strollerfit instructor Joscelyn Smith. Smith says in 50 minutes, participants get their hearts pumping and muscles stretching and even their strollers play a role. "We use the stroller for a lot of balance, we also use it to kind of push because it can get very heavy when you have a 30 pound 2 year old sitting in it." And it seems even those who have the best sit in the house, want to get in on the exercise too. "It's promoting fitness to your children. If they see mom having a great time exercising or dad exercising they're going to continue that throughout their lives and that's the most important thing," says Smith. The Strollerfit classes meet every Monday morning at Summerlin Hospital and every Tuesday and Thursday at Gardens Park in Summerlin.
