Body Back

So what is this class? Well, from what I understand it's Stroller Strides minus the stroller. It's a combo of high-intensity workouts, a Body Back meal plan (food journals), workout DVDs, and a kick-ass instructor who is sweet but firm. The small classes use cardio, strength and core .... Thursday night we did five sets—everything for a minute. (Motto: You can do anything for a minute. Me: Except mountain climbers.) Push-ups, planks, bicep curls, lunges. I suck at lunges. And push-ups. Maybe in eight weeks I won't be saying that. And after eating (a bit of) cotton candy and popcorn at the circus I need that food journal to hold me accountable. And I love that the DVD workouts are 20 minutes long. So, they can be done while baby(ies) sleep or are tethered to something. —JED
