Stroller Moms- Stroller Power Walking

Filed in archive Pre/Post Natal , Walking on September 28, 2007

When you have just had a baby you start thinking about how to get back into shape. Or perhaps to get a new shape for life. Top get fit and healthy. But how do you do that with a newborn baby? Babies need so much attention and you don't want to leave your little one in the hands of someone else.

I don't know one baby that is not happy being put in a stroller and taken for a walk. Most babies get calm and enjoy the rides in their stroller. When my son was a baby one of the things that made me leave the house was going for walks. Everyday I would take my baby for a walk two or three times a day. Often I would combine with friends to go for a walk in one of the many parks of London.

A very good way to get back into shape after you have had a baby is to join a "Mom Stroller Group". All over the world these original American groups for moms are popping up. Some refer to them as Power Walking for Moms with Strollers. "Stroller Moms' is also a widely used term.



So what is this all about? The stroller groups have special instructors that help you get in shape while walking and jogging. During the walk you do different kinds of exercises to tone your body. Everything while your baby is in the stroller, you use your stroller as a tool to get back into shape.
You will meet other moms with the same goal and can chat about all those motherly things you all are going through. Connecting with other moms is a great especially if you are a first time mom.

There are stroller groups all over the world and they are becoming more and more common. If there is not a group in your country or area, why not start one yourself? Contact already established stroller groups and get information. You are surely not the only mom who wants to get out of the house and get back into shape with your baby next to you.
