Bringing your baby along to your workout may not seem like the most efficient use of precious post-partum exercise time, but at Stroller Strides, a nationally franchised exercise program led locally by Pawtucket mom Kristen O'Donoghue, strollers (with babies in tow) are used for toning, cardio and stretching. The sixty-minute classes, which take place at the JCC and the Blackstone Boule-vard walking path, are often followed by coffee and playgroup, giving babies a little exercise time, too.
