How to make jogging with your baby the most enjoyable for the child and the most effective and safe fitness for yourself?
What can be more rewarding and beneficial then exercising and spending quality time with your baby at the same time?

- These are main points I would like to concentrate in this article.
All children like to be put in the stroller and take a walk in the park, it is a very entertaining form of spending free time outdoors, babies love to explore environment.
Babies need so much attention and you don’t want to leave them with somebody else.
Walking or jogging with a stroller have a few benefits for new moms also:

- losing baby fat, the weight gained during pregnancy, and getting your body back,
- exercise improves your metabolism, giving you more energy,
- mentally - reduces stress and improves your sense of well-being.
Returning to your original pre-pregnant body depends on a number of factors:

- your exercise regimen during pregnancy
- the amount of weight you gained
- your mode of delivery
- your motivation to start working-out during the postpartum period.

A jogging stroller is design specifically for handling faster movements and making quicker turns. Most doctors don’t recommend using them for babies until they are six months old and can hold their heads up on their own.

Tips for using proper form with your jogging stroller or double jogging stroller:

- take long strides with your toes facing forward
- keep your back straight and lead with your chest
- adjust handles height to your body, make sure they are right around your waist level so you can push the stroller comfortably without leaning forward
- a wrist strap should be attached at all times when you are running
- a bicycle-style hand brakes, positioned on the rear handlebar can be used to slow
- get your baby into habit of using a helmet and to be extra safe.

If you prefer you can find stroller groups in your area to join or exercise on your own. Some new mothers like to meet other mothers, exchange experiences, and socialize. That would be a great idea, but some prefer to exercise alone.

Jogging stroller workout guidelines:
- pick a flat terrain, ideally with a small hill in the comfortable distance
- set up a daytime that works best for you and your baby, that you can repeat every day or every other day
- before you start make sure your baby is fed, dry, and happy to go
- start with a slow walk, prepare your body for the exercise, then increase your pace
- if it’s possible take advantage of some hills in the area to push the stroller up
- always finish your workout by slowing down and walk
- depending on your condition, always listen to your body, increase pace when you are ready.

One more benefit and very important - we know how much our kids copy what we do and say. We want to set a good example and make the best choices for our families. Our behavior really sends them the message that you like to be active. Not only does being active set up your kids for living a healthier lifestyle, but it also helps them adopt a good attitude about exercise for the rest of their lives.
