The 80s were so Rad!

Today was Stroller Strides 80s class at West Town Mall.  We had 13 moms in class and we had 5 or 6 trooper moms who took the plunge and donned their leg warmers, flashdance sweatshirts, blue eyeshadow and teased up hair.  No 80s class would be complete without the appropriate Jane Fonda Jazzercise moves and some music from WHAM!  While we often do "maniacs" in class (running in place fast appropriately named after the move the movie Flashdance made famous), it felt so much more authentic today decked out in out 80s gear.  We only lacked the high-top brightly colored Reeboks  the 80s made so famous.  It made no difference what we were wearing to the kiddos!  They all laughed and giggled as we tickled their toes at each body toning station. We ended the workout with some cool 80s abs including the Ab Climber.  The difficult part of today was explaining why I looked so ridiculous to some friends I encountered in the mall who I had not seen in over a year!  Ha!  We had fun and we had a great workout and that's what counts!
