Stroller Strides of Ann Arbor provides a 60 minute total body workout for moms of stroller-age children (approx. 6-weeks to 4 years). The workout is appropriate for moms of all fitness levels and combines a power walk with intervals of toning and cardio. We use exercise tubing, the environment (e.g., benches and stairs), and the stroller for a fun and social exercise program. Children remain in their strollers, but are involved in the workout with songs and creative drills. We're adding a new location to our class line-up and would love to have you celebrate with us! Briarwood Mall, 100 Briarwood Circle. Free. jordannelson@strollerstrides.net http://bit.ly/SSA2FREEWEEK [map]

The show chronicles the dangerous and dramatic life of a pine tree.While one might not think of a pine tree’s life as all that exciting, it is filled with uncertainties and whether the pine tree recognizes it as such, plenty of beauty and drama pass before it.
