Moms and Dads, Get Out There And Burn Some Major Calories By Running Behind a Jogging Stroller

Aug. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Many woman want to get out and exercise after having a new baby but find it difficult to find the time do so. New babies require so much time and attention, exercise often gets put on the back burner due to lack of time. It's very difficult to find a babysitter, drive to gym, work out and come back home, all in a reasonable amount of time. Plus when you are a new mom, you want to spend as much time as possible with your new baby.
The ideal situation would be to find a way to incorporate exercise into spending time with your baby and not having all the other hassles of trying to find a babysitter and driving to the gym. Here is the solution- jogging strollers.

It has been proven for a very long time that oldest and possibly best form of exercise is jogging. In 1970 when jogging first became popular in the world there was a study done on jogging.
Lead researcher Dr Peter Schnohr, of the Copenhagen City Heart Study, told BBC News Online:
"Jogging has a positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, weight, diabetes, smoking, and other confounders."

Dr Schnohr said this could be down to a number of factors:
• less thickening of the coronary arteries
• better heart muscle function
• higher oxygen uptake
• a more effective system for breaking down blood clots

Jogging burns calories like nothing else, now imagine pushing a jogging stroller with a baby or toddler on board. Now that is a calorie burn and a half! This is why more and more parents are turning to the use of jogging strollers as their number one form of exercise as a way to get in shape and have fun doing it.

Many moms and dads have figured this out now. Jogging or even walking while pushing a jogging stroller is a killer workout. It can potentially burn hundreds of calories per hour. Many moms are loosing the excess weight gained during their pregnancy and many dads are even getting back into shape by incorporating running behind a jogger into their workout regimen.

Today there are many sleek models of jogging strollers in both single and double seat formats. Take for example the InSTEP Double Jogging Stroller. This model has a spacious under-seat storage basket plus parent console for baby gear and personal items. These features make it very convenient to tote along a diaper bag, extra water bottles or anything else you might need on your run.

Moms and dads out there, it's time get off the couch and get back into shape. Not only will you look and feel better by doing so, but you will have fun doing it, and so will your baby! Babies just love to be outside and they love the motion that a jogging stroller provides for their little bodies. Sometimes they will sleep while you burn those calories and sometimes they will just love to look around and see the world as they get a little older. Either way your baby and you will really enjoy your time with a jogging stroller.
