Push on Parents

Just saw this in the July issue of Runner's world so had to share because it got me pumped!

Q: Does pushing my child in jogging stroller offer an additional training benefits?

A: Absolutely, because it's more challenging, especially when you're running uphill. Studies have shown that you can burn 20 percent more calories (depending on the weight of the child) while pushing a jogging stroller at a given pace. You'll work your cardiovascular system harder, and pushing the stroller will strengthen several muscle groups - especially the pecs, triceps, deltoids, quads and hamstrings.

So push on parents!

Below is a link to an article with tips on incorporating the jogger into your workout routine.
