Sometimes its difficult to juggle time between parenting and exercising especially with a toddler to take her attention, but worry no more with the best stroller workouts designed to do both at the same time.

The best stroller workouts that takes multitasking to the next level

Feeling great and looking good may somehow be sidetracked by irregular baby feeding schedules and sleepless nights, which could sometimes seem frustrating. Having a new workout routine with that kind of schedule could be very daunting, if not, impossible to achieve.

In a recent study published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, women with young children are likely to get less than the minimum recommended amount of exercise to stay healthy than those without kids.

Also, with kids demanding much of your time, you often get to miss out on gym workout schedules, missing out on your regular workout schedules and losing that momentum on exercise.

But worry no more, time is limited and you have an good exercise tool in your hands- the baby’s stroller.

Here are some good stroller exercises you can do while taking time to stroll the baby around – multitasking at its best.

Stroller Pushups

Look for a bench and make sure to park the stroller properly beside you. As you face the bench, place your arms shoulder-width apart. Engage your core muscles as you hold your back firm and straight. Do your push-ups for several repetitions.

You may up the ante by doing your push-ups on the ground for better strength and endurance.

Stroller Lunges

Position yourself standing behind the stroller with your hands on the handlebar shoulder width apart. Lunge forward with your right leg and push the stroller out as you do so. Make sure that your knee is above your ankle and the thigh should be parallel to the ground. Do the same lunge with the other leg.

Stroller Squats

Standing behind the stroller, hold the handlebar with both hands shoulder width apart. With both knees and feet forward, squat down as if sitting on a chair while keeping your weight in the heels and knees above the ankles. Do not let go of the stroller when doing the squats but make sure not to put weight on it. Squeeze the glutes and return to the standing position and repeat.
