To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I want to get in shape and lose some of this pregnancy weight. What kind of exercises can I do with my baby in the stroller?”
From Fit by Sara: “One of the simpliest ways to get back in shape is to push your baby up and down hills. This will tone your buttocks and thighs. You can also hold onto your stroller for support and do front kicks, side kicks and back kicks-all of which will tone your waist, hips, thighs and buttocks. Another great move to tone up your thighs are walking lunges. Here’s a simple lunge toning workout: While holding onto your stroller, step forward with one leg and bend both knees (make sure your front knee never goes over the front toe). Repeat the “walking lunge” for about 10 steps. Add 10 min. power walk before repeating another set of lunges. Work up to 3 intervals of 10 min. power walk followed by 10 step walking lunges for a total of a 40 min. workout.
