What we’re about
We don't have to just be background characters in our kids' playground adventures! Moms can play (& get fit) too! This meetup is designed to help moms get exercise in a fun group environment without having to find & pay for childcare. The workouts are designed to feel like fun and play, and the kids are welcome to join in or play on their own (supervised by a volunteer "Lifeguard"). We're governed by 3 main guiding principles:
- Exercise Gives You Endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.
- We want our kids & our selves to have a village. And we're not afraid to make it.
- Some is better than none. Good is better than perfect. And everything is better with friends.
We meet on weekday afternoons at various playgrounds in Orange County (between 3 and 5pm) unless there are thunderstorms, or the temp is below 20F.
General Schedule:
5-15 minute introductions
15-20 minutes "Workout"
5 minute check in & changing of the guard
15-20 minutes "Workout"
20 minutes snacktime & chit chat

Fitness Nature Walk & Playdate
Veterans memorial park, 60 bachelor street, Montgomery , NY, USWe're having our 2nd meetup! (finally)
This time we'll celebrate the fall foliage with a fitness walk through the "pleasure grounds" trail in the Village of Montgomery (stroller accessible!) for about 30 minutes, and then circle back to the playground for an optional snack break (BYO) and our kids (& us) can play a bit.
Meet up at the gazebo to check in and meet the other moms & kiddos!
Tips:
- The weather is getting chilly! Make sure you and your kids are dressed for comfortable outdoor play. I LOVE this free chart from OutdoorSchoolShop.com to help pick clothing.
- If your kid is a runner (like mine) dress them in a bright color that will make them easy to see if they decide to hide amongst the trees.
- While there may be bathrooms at this park, I personally have not seen them 😂. If you're potty training maybe bring a car potty, or plan to stop by one of the nearby cafes beforehand to use the bathrooms there.
- RSVP if you're coming to make sure you get day-of updates and notifications in case of things like inclement weather.
