TIPS FOR RUNNING WITH TOT IN TOW

1. Make a goal, enlist a friend, or sign up for a race. It helps with motivation.

2. Always pack properly: Water, snacks and entertainment!

3. Be flexible: Even if baby gets fussy and you don’t get the whole workout done, the point is you got out there! 4. Get ready to engage new muscles and be more challenged. “I felt as if 2-3 miles with the stroller was like 5-6 miles without,” notes Taylor. 5. Pick a final destination to keep your toddler motivated to sit back and enjoy the ride. Everyone loves a prize at the end!

6. Know where the closest bathrooms are.

7. Not ready to jog? Try a stroller fitness class like Stroller Strides or BYOBfit , where you use your stroller in lunges, sprints and squats, while interacting with baby.

HUDSON RIVER PARK

The Scene : There are a lot of bikes, so you have to be ready for that. Gorgeous views of the Hudson, beautiful sunsets, and lots of people walking, running or taking it all in from the lawn or the benches. FYI: The 2nd annual Hudson Games are coming up this May. Also, look out for the ever-changing art exhibits and installations along the path! Après-Run : Pier 25 is a great spot to cool down, with its snack bar, water park, volleyball and soccer fields and chaise lounges perfectly perched to take in the view. Want to find the best running route for you? Look for a great spot with minimum traffic and lights, close to your home. The easier it is to get there and get running the more likely you’ll stick to it!
