Hi, guys!
Here are next week’s workouts for our Stroller Summer Shape-Up. If you missed the first post in the series, you can find it here: Stroller Summer Shape-Up {Week 1}.
This next set of workouts is a nice mix between having fun and really challenging yourself. Just the way I like it! You’ll definitely work hard, but there’s a lot of variety in the exercises and intensity, so both your brain and body will stay engaged and focused. I think you guys will really like this bunch of workouts!
As you might remember from my previous post, Quinn and I are using the Tre Jogging Stroller from Chicco for our workouts.
There are a whole slew of reasons why we love it, but the one that I especially love is the console, which gives me total control of the Tre, right at my fingertips. The hand-operated park brake easily locks and unlocks the rear stroller wheels without the use of foot pedals, so I don’t have to worry about messing up my stride or fumbling to stop. I can also use the decel brake to slow down the stroller just by squeezing it with my hand. Additionally, I can lock the front wheel with the same hand-operated lock. Basically, everything is all in one place, so it is super easy to use.
Ok, time to work out!
WORKOUT 1
This chipper is a full-body workout and you will definitely have fun with this one!
For this workout, you alternate running intervals with various exercises. You start with higher reps and “chip away” at the workout by doing fewer and fewer reps as it progresses. Feel free to select the running distance that best works for you. Once again, I used the 3/4 mile loop around our neighborhood for my running interval, so be sure to do the same.
If you’re unsure of how to do any of the exercises mentioned above, just click on the following links for a demonstration: Mountain Climbers, Walking Lunges, Plank Jacks, Push-Ups, V-Ups.
WORKOUT 2
This workout was awesome! Mal actually joined Quinn and me for it, so the three of us had a blast exercising together!
Here’s how this one works: You start with 10 reps of each exercise, so you’ll do 10 Alternating Jump Lunges (10 total, 5 each leg), 10 Push-Ups, 10 Triceps Dips (off a bench, wall, whatever you can find), and then you will run for 3 minutes with your stroller. Then, you’ll do 9 reps of each exercise and then run for 3 minutes with your stroller. After that, you’ll do 8 reps of each exercise and run, 7 reps of each and run, and so on all the way down to 1 rep. As you can see, this is a really good/tough one!

We added some clapping to this movement!

Feel free to do these on the ground, wall, bench, etc.

Mal and Quinn were cruising around in the stroller!
Look at those happy faces. Stroller workouts are such a blast!
WORKOUT 3
I hope you like Burpees! This one is definitely a challenge and you’ll feel those Burpees and Jump Squats. But, hey, when you’re finished, you’ll feel great because you got an amazing workout. Ready to work out? Let’s do it!
