personalized attention, classes outdoors and tailoring classes to the moms and moms to be, are thebiggest difference from other classic fitness clubs, Stone says.
Running with strollers, working on strengthening abs, trying out yoga, and using exercise bands toattack the fat are all part of the exercise strategy. - Whatever is nearby can become part of the exerciseroutine, including park benches, polls, mall area and trees.
Adding in her own exercises and offering advice from her own experiences, Stone gives her moms thesecret to staying slim: At least 5 or 10 minutes of exercise each day and planning healthy meals.
Besides getting healthy, working out with Baby Boot Camp permits to moms to bring their babies andtoddlers into a fun, family environment. Moms and babies also make new friends, and moms can sharetheir stories and adventures with other parents.
Mary Ann, 29, mother of baby Mary Kate, says: “I enjoy working out with Baby Boot Camp, especiallywhen she (Mary Kate) sleeps. I had a good working out today.”
Stone also invite dads to participate because she believes it is important that husbands realized howhard their wives are working to stay in shape and be healthy.
She says being healthy is a challenging task in American society where both perfect bodies and junkfood are promoted. But that only makes Stone more enthusiastic about her job: “I like teaching peoplehow to work out and be healthy. Iʼm grateful when we see results.”
The economic crisis hasnʼt ignored the fitness industry, and business has slowed some. “Hopefully theeconomy is rebounding a bit and people realize they have more time to work out,” Stone says, noting itis important to "Be fit. Be strong. Be together,” a motto she promotes at Baby Boot Camp.
