Fit tip for new moms: Run with Baby

Posted on Mar 18th 2008 3:40PM by Martha Edwards

Hey moms, are you trying to lose that stubborn baby weight? Here's a tip: don't leave baby at home with dad or the babysitter the next time you go for a run. Recent studies show that running with a stroller provides you with a much more intense workout without compromising your form or posture. Running with a stroller not only gives you a place to put your iPod, keys and water bottle, but it helps instill healthy habits in your little one early on in their life.

The one catch? You need a stroller that can handle a run. Anyone have any stroller recommendations?

JoggingStroller.com has a great selection - top picks for true runners would be the BOB Revolution or Ironman, Baby Jogger Performance Single or Tike Tech ATX. All of these except for the BOB Revolution have larger wheels with a front fixed wheel for best performance. The BOB Revolution's front wheel can be locked into a fixed position or swivel for more maneuverability when used for other purposes. You can find out all about what to look for in a running stroller at this site, as well and their customer service is great! I've had great experiences with them twice now - once when I bought for my first baby and recently when purchasing a double stroller. These recommendations are based on the strollers that I was trying to narrow down when looking - I ended up with the BOB Revolution and LOVE it!
