Question:
I would like to take up jogging after my baby is born. Is this a good idea?
Answer:

The last 10 years have revolutionized strollers. Even the most basic stroller has durable rubber wheels that can handle long urban walks. If you've invested in a "runner" or a "sport utility" stroller, you can take your baby jogging, go hiking off pavement onto park roads (like unpaved fire roads), or even try in-line skating along a scenic path. These weight-bearing exercises also help you build bone strength and improve posture. Aim to run, walk or skate for a half-hour at a time, at least three times a week.

If you're in the market for a stroller, choose one that will protect your infant from the elements. Warmth, shade, rain shelter and a smooth ride are essential components if you will be exercising together regularly.
