Finding time to workout with kids is challenging -- enter 20-Minute STROLLER WORKOUT FOR MOMS!
Stroller workouts are the best postnatal workouts to:
► Tone your legs, butt and thighs.
► Improve posture.
► Enhance circulation.
►Keep your lower back strong (so important for new moms).
►Burn fat and speed weight loss.
Designed for busy moms with kids in tow, this 20-Minute Stroller Workout pairs cardio exercises with lower body strength training to target the butt, legs and thighs. It's the ultimate mom workout!
This workout utilizes COMPOUND EXERCISES (or exercises that engage multiple muscle groups at the same time) to help you get the most efficient workout in 20 minutes. You'll hit the quads, hamstrings, glutes, AND a little bit of arms + core (from the stroller pushing).

I love this stroller workout because you can gradually increase the intensity as you regain strength and muscle postpartum.
Postnatal Workout Beginner (3-6 months postpartum): Default to a stroller walk for the warm up and for exercise number six. As you regain pelvic floor strength you can increase intensity to a slow jog.
Postnatal Workout Intermediate-to-Advanced (6-12 months postpartum): As you regain pelvic floor strength you can increase intensity to a stroller run for the warm up and stroller sprint for exercise number six.
