Tips on how to do fitness rollerblading with the baby stroller

To drop weight and workout muscles you have to skate slowly and make an intense high impact movements behind and along the stroller.

Slowly

Don’t compete with the teens and pros on the rollerblades.  You’ll show a Formula 1 speed just a bit later, when your child will not be in a stroller. Moderate speed is the only option when skating with the stroller. Special rollerblading exercises will keep you busy and sweat – not the speed.

Special fitness rollerblading exercises creates an additional fitness load skating low speed. It’s about doing additional high impact movements behind the stroller: making small double steps, raising the legs with the amplitude, doing half circles etc – all this while your actual speed keeps being slow (video)   I call it simulating speed. You making a way more movements this way than if you’d just simply rolling after the stroller.

Switch arms

Arms are getting quite a workout while pushing the stroller. No extra exercises needed. You’ll certainly feel your arms after the training.

To workout the arms equally, switch them  time to time. The higher the speed ( rollerblading it will be higher than walking) the more difficult  it is to lead the stroller. This load is enough for the arms to make an intensive workout
