Stroller Fitness

boomletx-largeThere is arguably no tougher job in the modern world than being a mom.  Between work, keeping a home, and rushing the kids out the door, it is almost impossible to have any time to take care of yourself.  However, thanks to a few health-oriented, entrepreneurial moms, programs which combine exercise and playtime have really started taking off.  Classes like Strollercize and Strollerfit have become quite popular for the multi-tasking moms of today.

The idea is simple: Why not get the maximum effect out of your daily stroll, while having fun with your child at the same time?  Moms have turned traditional child strollers into effective workout equipment.  Groups of Strollercizing mothers can often be found in and around Central Park, performing synchronized routines, all with child in tow.

The techniques claim to target muscles generally associated with motherhood and child birth.  The convenience is a plus because, unlike calling a babysitter just to get to the gym, you can now strengthen and tighten anywhere you take your stroller.

While classes such as these can teach some great strengthening and toning techniques, you may wonder if you will receive a decent cardio workout as well.  This is the time to get creative.  Products like the Zigo Leader could be a fantastic addition to a Stroller Fitness workout.  Hop on and, with your child in the front ChildPod, ride to the park.  Then uncouple the ChilPod from the bike, and get into the rest of your workout routine.  You could even add the jogging stroller attachment if you’re really looking to up your endurance.
