| HAPPY FALL! I love this time of year! Crisp mornings, vibrant leaves, cozy crockpot meals, and loads of seasonal activities! Hayrides, parades, costumes, apple picking, pumpkin patch trips, and other seasonal joys can easily lead to overindulgence of Halloween candy, apple pie, pumpkin pie, Christmas cookies, and gingerbread houses! Suddenly, you've gone from holiday fun to sugar crashes and caloric overload! It happens to the best of us, and we're left feeling bloating, sluggish, and irritable. But this doesn't have to happen. Be sure to continue your FIT4MOM workouts to help boost your metabolism and increase your energy. With flu season around the corner and a long holiday "To Do" list, you can't risk feeling rundown or getting sick. We all know that moms don't get sick days!
Make time for YOU! Drink water, eat real, whole foods, and get your workouts in! Taking care of yourself will help you stay healthy and well this holiday season.
In Health,
Amy Rosso - Owner, FIT4MOM Chapel Hill

| Meet Kristin Spear! Kristin moved to Chapel Hill from New York City three years ago. She works for Nepique, a sales outsourcing company. Kristin is an active mama in our FIT4MOM community, attending Stroller Strides and Stroller Barre classes with her 3 sons! It's lots of fun have Kristin and her crew in our classes!
Hometown: Richmond, VA
Kids: Asa (4), Eli (3), & Leo (1)
Hobbies: I know I used to have hobbies - I just can't remember them anymore!
Why I Love FIT4MOM Chapel Hill: I love love love Stroller Strides and Barre. It has challenged and help "shape" me :). I love being outside, the challenging workouts, the camaraderie, and the fact I can bring my clan along with me. It is such a positive and fun environment that everyday my kids ask me if we are going to stroller strides - they love it too. In fact I have to lie to Eli on Thursday cause he can't know I'm going to class without him. Stroller Strides has made me stronger and more confident - it is exactly what I needed.

| Why Did Saturday Stroller Strides Move From Briar Chapel to Southern Village? The community has fees for all fitness classes, including outdoor classes. The fees are beyond our budget for outdoor classes, but we look forward to indoor Saturday Stroller Strides classes at the Briar Chapel Clubhouse during inclement weather and winter months! We LOVE our Briar Chapel families and appreciate your understanding of our Saturday Stroller Strides location change!
