Good News for Moms With Strollers

Jul 2 2007 - 11:00am

Here is some good news for mom's who like to run with strollers...

A study [1] from Texas A&M found that running with a stroller provided a much more intense workout than running without a stroller and there was no difference in stride length and overall running gait. In other words: Your form is not compromised by pushing the stroller. This is good news for any of us moms that were thinking it was a bad idea to run with the stroller. So get out there and get a really good workout, without having to get a sitter -- Just make sure you've got a stroller that can handle it such as a Baby Jogger [2].

Want to get even more out of your stroller jogs? Hook up a Strollometer [3] to your stroller to see your distance, speed and time.
