Use Your Stroller and Burn More Cal

hope you are enjoying some exercise outside as the weather is getting nicer. And for you moms: You can burn more calories and get a better total body workout by pushing a stroller while walking or jogging rather than not. It is great because you can bring the kids along during your workout, and not only are you using leg muscles, but upper body as well by pushing, especially if you're going uphill. According to a study by ACE, exercise intensity and calorie burn were about 20 percent higher when walking with a stroller at 3 mph than when walking without a stroller. So don't feel bad if you missed your morning run before your husband left for work. Just enjoy the outdoors with your kiddies and get a nice workout at the same time!
