Yahoo! Moms have an edge when it comes to exercise!

Posted on Mar 31st 2008 12:00PM by Kristen Seymour
I don't have many excuses to miss a workout -- I set my own daily schedule, I don't have children (only dogs), and I live in a warm climate (a Scrubs marathon on TV isn't a real excuse). I honestly can't imagine how hard it must be for new moms learning to schedule their time with babies and naps and feedings.

But, mamas with small children do get one advantage (sort of) -- they get to run with a stroller, which provides a much more intense workout that running without one. And, doing so doesn't give you bad form as was previously believed. Sheryl Crow is taking advantage, and why not? It allows her to get outside, get some great exercise, and she's spending time with her son.

If you're not sure how to start working out with a stroller, you might want to see if there is a Stroller Fit Class available near you. Also, check out the gallery below for the top user-rated jogging strollers from joggingstroller.com.
