In Full Swing for Spring!
There are so many things I love about spring: the return of flowers and green grass; the sound of lawn movers; the breeze from open windows; the fresh berries and seasonal vegetables. But my favorite thing about spring is how it brings people together. I love that neighbors can chat while doing yardwork, families can take walks together after dinner, and kids can make new friends at the playground.
April has been extra fun because of YOU! Motivating, supporting, and encouraging each other has blossomed in countless forms: getting friends out the door to Stroller Strides class, through tough workouts, and surviving sleepless nights with teething babies. We listen, laugh, and cheer. We give each other strength for motherhood. (The workout endorphins are nice too!)
We have a lot of fun activities and sweat sessions planned for May. Our priority is always to help you make strides in fitness, motherhood, & life. Looking forward to the month of May with all of you amazing ladies!
My sincerest thank you for being a part of our FIT4MOM Chapel Hill community!
In stride, Amy
