This month's mom of the month is Lyndsay Tryba! Lyndsay is mom to Owen and has been a member of Stroller Strides since March 2010.

Introducing The 10,000 Strides Challenge
As moms, we know how busy life can get. It is so easy to veer off track of your fitness program and begin making excuses. This fall at Stroller Strides, we have created a fun challenge to help you stay active and geer up for the holiday season.
GOAL: To walk 10,000 steps per day for 6 weeks.
COST: $5 (which covers the cost of your pedometer)
WEEKLY PRIZES: Water bottles, key chains, gift certificates, etc
GRAND PRIZE:The winning individual will receive a 1 hour massage from Massage Green!
Wearing a pedometer, you will track how many steps you take each day. You will be responsible for entering your steps daily.
Think 10,000 steps sounds like a lot? I bet you would be surprised how many steps you walk a day just being a mom. You will wear the pedometer from the time you get up in the morning, until you go to bed at night- including Stroller Strides class! If you take part in other physical activity where you can not wear your pedometer, you can click the following to calculate your steps.
The Challenge will begin on Monday, October 11th and end on Sunday, November 21st.
Registration Deadline is October 8th.
You do not need to be a member of Stroller Strides to participate.
The first 5 individuals to register will have the $5 pedometer fee waived!!
