Babesta Beat SS16

Y es , it goes without saying that if you’re a city parent, you’re always on the run. When that “on the run” is more literal than figurative, it’s time to consult the pros. Parent and baby fitness experts, Erica Taylor, who runs a Brooklyn outpost of Stroller Strides, and Melissa Paris and Anja Pierre who head up BYOBfit, shared their tips on running in the city, and dish on their favorite spots to expel that energy, lengthen those strides and breathe in the fresh spring air!

WHY WE LOVE IT: UNLIKE OTHER JOGGERS, YOUR BABY CAN FACE YOU!

BYOBfit and Bugaboo joined forces to present a unique stroller workout featuring weekly runs with the Bugaboo Runner.

CENTRAL PARK ERICA TAYLOR, STROLLER STRIDES

The Scene : Classic New York City. You’re right in the thick of things. “I run the main outside loop. If you want a real challenge, head for the hills, up to 110th street, running from the east to the west side.” Après-Run : “The park on the Columbus Circle entrance is our favorite ending spot. It gives a great incentive to get through the run.”
