I am a first time mom and have a baby boy, Patrick. He is now 2.5 months, and we are interested in getting some fresh air and exercise. Since it is now starting to cool off (a little) in FL, I would like to start getting in the out-of-doors more. I live in the St. Pete area (close to downtown) if you are interested.
Hi Becky!
Come join us at StrollerFit! I teach this class at Demon's Landing downtown near the Pier. We do cardio, strength training, abs & core, stretching and more! Most of all, we interact with the babies the entire time and also have a chance to bond with other moms. I'm so glad that Stacey found us on this site - and hope you'll take advantage of a FREE class as well. Give me a call!
-C. :)

I would be interested in walking either at Northshore Park along the water heading towards Snell Isle or at Crescent Lake Park. I am 35 years old and have an 8 month old son. I am excited that the weather is finally getting a little cooler. Let me know if you would like to walk sometime.

Hi Becky! I live in south St. Pete, about 10 minutes from downtown. I wanted to let you know there's a St. Pete mom's club you can join. There's a lot of mom's living right around you, and they get together for all kinds of things. I've been looking for some more people who have infants around my son's age (he's 4 months). It'd be fun to get together to walk or just meet at one of our homes and play with the babies, talk, etc. Go to www.naturalbabystore.com/sweetpeas/ and join the forum. There's groups divided into "blanky babies", "crawlers", etc. so people can hang out with babies in similar stages. There's a couple people with blanky babies right now, but it seems they work during the week so can only get together on the weekends. I'm free during the week so I'd love to get together some time. I used to walk every day, but the heat has been too much and I can't wait for it to cool down also!! Email me back and I'll give you my phone number.

Hi Becky. My son is now 8 months old but when he was 3 months I was ready to get out of the house and exercise and meet new moms just like you. I also put a request on this site asking the same as you. I got a response from a mom who teaches a fitness class at Demens Park next to the Pier. Her name is Christi and she teaches a class called StrollerFit... exercise with your baby. The first class is free, so I went and I was immediately hooked and signed up and have been going ever since. If you would like to see what this is all about you can visit the website at www.strollerfit.com or come join us one morning. We at 9 am in the parking lot on Mon, Wed, Thurs, and Fri... bring water, blanket, stroller and baby. It's a great workout and when we are done the babies and moms interact.
I am also a member of the Sweet P.E.A.S. mom's site that Abby sent you a message about. This is also a great way to meet other mom's.
Hope you find what you are looking for :o) -S.
Hi R.,
I just wanted to pass along a great resource for meeting other moms. The MOMS Club has chapters in every town accross the US. www.momsclub.org should be able to direct you to a chapter in St. Pete. Good Luck!
I started a mom's group/playgroup for the St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay area. You are welcome to join. A lot of the moms like to go walking in their neighborhoods and parks in the area.
