You can get a great, full body workout (resistance and cardio) while including your baby (6weeks ~3yrs) with Stroller Strides classes (www.strollerstrides.net/modesto). Classes are MWF from 9-10am at Ustach park. You can enroll as a member or do drop-in classes. First class is free and you can also get a week free coupon. There are weekly themed specialty classes, a letter/number of the week, mommy meditation/inspiration component, kids' music & songs, and workouts that can be varied in intensity level with specific focus on pre & post-natal needs.
