Family Day 2009

Family Day was a hit! Thank you to all of you for coming out to support Stroller Strides. We did lots of running, plyometrics, a few songs and most of all had a great time. I hope the dads got a real feel of what you mammas do in class each week. I'm already looking forward to next year! Congrats to Jen Gratland and her husband. They won the $50 gift card to Katz 21.

Working Hard

I love this time of year in Corpus Christi. For one the temperature is not a 100 degrees, the mosquitoes are still sleeping and were sweating because were working hard not because of the 100% humidity. Ladies your doing a great job this month. I love your dedication and encourage you to continue working hard to make your goals a reality.

Ok, Coen isn't working so hard.

From The Womb to Stroller Strides

Yes, we can all agree that birth is extremely traumatizing for babies but what about joining Stroller Strides at such a young age? I have to say its the best thing for a new baby and his mommy (of course with the Doc's approval). Not only does he get to see the world but mommy gets to pull on the skinny jeans again. She gets to do more besides just feeding and changing diapers. A new mom who joins Stroller Strides gets to rejuvenate her mind, body and spirit. Congratulations Gail you did a fabulous job. Little Ty is a great addition to our Stroller Strides Family. Your inspiration to all of us. So if your ready to get pregnant and have a baby Stroller Strides of Corpus Christi will be ready for you after a healthy delivery.

Cheers to motherhood and healthy living!

Melissa And Her Stroller Strides Journey

Meet a mom who does it all. I would like to introduce Melissa, another one of our fabulous instructors who teaches class in Corpus Christi and Portland.

My name is Melissa Erdner, I have two beautiful kids, Lucas who is 4.5 and Amelia who is 2.5. I have been married for almost 7 years to my husband Matt who is in the Navy. I first started with Stroller Strides when we lived in Monterey, CA. I took my first class at 8+ months pregnant and waddled my whole way through, loving every minute. I continued on with my classes up until a week before I delivered and couldn't wait to get back out there shortly after. I realized that being an instructor was something that I would love to pursue, so I spoke with the owner and began going through the steps to become a certified Personal trainer and Stroller Strides Instructor. During this process the opportunity to purchase the existing Stroller Strides franchise became available and I jumped at it. It was scary and exciting all at once, and for sure it changed my life. Being a Navy family makes it a challenge to meet people that you can build lasting friendships with. When I started Stroller Strides, I realized that the woman involved in this group are so special. Being here in Texas now for the last 7 months, I have loved every minute with this group of Mom's as much as my first group of Stroller Strides Moms. The energy and love that they put into their children is Awe inspiring and it pushes and teaches me to be a better parent on a daily basis. I have been teaching stroller strides for 2.5 years now, and because of this experience I have been motivated to go back to school to attain my associates and Masters in Physical Therapy.
