Mom and Baby Fitness Classes (5 months to 12 months)
Latin Dance Fitness For Moms and Babies
As described above, has been adapted to create a fun and safe environment for moms to bond with their babies and other Toronto moms while getting in a workout. Research has shown that a mom's participation in physical activities and sports increases their children's participation later on. Creating a class that combines both groups is critical to starting babies off on the right foot.
To participate, all you need to do is bring your baby in a car seat or stroller, bring a carrier if you want to workout with your little one, a bottle of water and wear a comfortable pair of dance or cross training shoes.
Kindly Note: all participants are welcome to come with or without their babies.
