How did you find FIT4MOM DuPage County? Wheaton Park District activity guide

How has FIT4MOM DuPage County changed your life? After a difficult pregnancy, I was eager to get back to working out but did not know where to start and what it would look like as a new mom. I am so incredibly grateful I found FIT4MOM. The stroller workouts have all been great, and I notice I am stronger and faster since starting in February! The FIT4MOM community has been so wonderful for both Margot and me socially. It is great to chat with moms with kiddos the same age as well as get tips from experienced mamas!

Favorite exercise: Agility ladders

Proudest Moment: Giving birth to Margot was my proudest moment. After a challenging pregnancy, I was so proud of both of us.

What is one thing you have learned so far from this year? You can't pour from an empty cup!
