A great way to get fit and give yourself and your baby some fresh air is by taking on a stroller workout.
BRITAX have teamed up with diet and fitness expert Laura Williams to bring us these stroller workout tips, enjoy!
Walking Stroller Lunge
Stand behind your stroller with hands on the handlebars and take a long stride forward bending front knee to a 90-degree angle – your thigh should be parallel to the ground. Keep torso lifted, hips and shoulders facing forward.
Push through the front heel to come back up to standing – this will work your bottom muscles more, and ensure that you don’t put too much weight on the stroller too. Switch legs and repeat this for one minute. Rest and repeat the exercise
Waist Whittler
Stand tall with your right side facing the stroller. Keeping as still as you can in the upper body, gently push the stroller away with your right hand, while reaching overhead with left arm.
Tense your abdominal muscles on the left side to pull the stroller back. Do this 8-10 times before changing sides.
Single-Leg Squat and Row
Stand with feet hip-width apart, right hand on stroller, and extend left leg in front of you so you’re balancing on your right leg with your knees aligned.
Slowly bend your right knee as you push the stroller away from you ensuring as you bend your knees don’t come over your toes. Then straighten leg and pull stroller in towards you. Do 20 on each leg.
