It’s winter in New York City, but that doesn’t mean it’s too cold to exercise! From time to time you may have seen a mommy (or daddy) working out with a stroller in the streets of the city. And if you prefer to stay inside, we also have some excellent indoor options as well.

We love these baby and me classes because, as you know, our little ones have tons of energy and it allows them to let some of it out! As speech pathologists, we feel that exercising with your child not only gives you the opportunity to connect, but also allows you to target important language skills!
If he is in the stroller, on your hip, or even on the floor, you can work on eye contact. As she makes eye contact, it gives your child a chance to look at your lips while you talk and sing to her. This is the foundation of learning language. You can target action words: kick, stretch, sit, stand, push, pull, etc. What better way to learn language by staying healthy at the same time?! It’s also a great way to meet new parents.
