Jogging With Your Child - What You Need to Know
Jogging is no longer an adult only sport. These days, more and more parents are hitting the pavement pushing their children in a jogging stroller. Running with a stroller is very different than running alone, and it can be a challenge to make the change from your usual routine. The comfort and security of both you and your child must be the top priorities. Follow these tips to help you make sure that the runs you take with your child go as smoothly as possible.
Purchase a high quality jogging stroller - Having the proper equipment to make sure the run is enjoyable for both you and your child is of great importance. The stroller should have a lightweight, stable frame, a large fixed front tire, a deep child seat with a padded, adjustable 5-point harness, a hand brake and rear brake, a storage basket and pockets, an adjustable sun canopy and a safety wrist strap. Each model has its own special added features, and remember, you get what you pay for.
Make sure your baby is old enough - Some jogging stroller seats can lie flat for infants, and several models now even come with an infant car seat adapter. However, stroller manufacturers usually recommend waiting until your baby is 6 months old to take him on runs, since this is usually when his neck muscles are strong enough to support his head. Some safety organizations recommend waiting until the age of 12 months, because the ride can be too jarring for the developing spine of an infant, even on smooth pavement. It may be best to put your jogging routine on hold for a while or get someone to babysit a couple times a week while you go out for a run.
Dress her appropriately for the weather conditions - Remember, you'll warm up because you're running, but she won't. Dress her lightly on warm days, use sunscreen (after the age of 6 months) and the stroller's sunshield. Consider using a product such as the "Cool Mee" Seat Liner by Meeno Babies (http://www.meenobabies.com), which wicks away sweat from baby and allows warm air to escape through high-tech fabric. Bundle her up in cooler weather, and on windy, rainy or snowy days, use a weather shield.
Keep your child comfortable - A happy child makes for a better run, so change his diaper before leaving home, and bring wipes, water and a snack with you. Books and small toys that can be attached to the stroller are also a great way to keep him occupied. And don't forget to stop for a second or two every few minutes to check on him.
Limit your runs to a reasonable length of time - You may be used to doing hour-long runs, but your child may start to get antsy after only 30 minutes. See how much she can handle after going out a couple of times, and then adjust if necessary. You can also gain an extra 30 minutes or so by going for your run just before nap time so that she falls asleep from the movement of the stroller. Be sure to cut the length of your runs on very hot or cold days, or leave your child at home with someone.
If you want to run in a race, stick to the rules - Some races allow jogging strollers, others don't. If at all possible, run without a stroller (it'll be more pleasant for you and the other runners), or find an event that is stroller friendly, and stay in the back. Keep in mind that running with a stroller slows down your pace, so you may want to go it alone.
Using a jogging stroller is a wonderful way to get out and move in the fresh air with your child. Following the advice above can ensure that your runs are lots of fun for the both of you.

Beginner Guide to Get Started in Jogging and Lose Weight
I managed to lose 30 pounds in the past 6 months by jogging. Jogging is really a good exercise to lose weight and train up your body. When I share my success story with others, they simply can't believe that I can change my lifestyle so much and exercise regularly. It is very hard for them to exercise in a regular basis.
Actually it is not hard for you to get started in jogging and make it becomes part of your life. All you have to do is follow the right steps listed below and you can have the same results like me:
Goal Setting. You must have a simple and achievable goal. Please don't set a goal to jog 10 miles in first week. You will fail! For me, I only set a goal to jog 3 days per week, 20 minutes each time. Never care about the distance and speed. I never care how far I jog or the speed. I just focus my goal that I must jog at least 20 minutes a day. As long as you do it regularly, you will lose weight. I just Walk if I want to. Before this I have a wrong mindset that I must jog as much as I can and force my body to do so. In fact, I don't really have to force myself to jog. Sometime walking is just as good as jogging. Just change your plan according to your energy of the day. Keep the promise. Similarly, go jogging whenever you want (mornings, noons, or nights), it makes little/no difference. Just make sure you make a FIRM appointment with yourself or a friend to run at a particular time and place..."later" never comes.
As long as you follow the right steps above, do it regularly and make it becomes your habits, then you will lose weight. The problem most people can't lose weight is because they don't persistence enough in exercise. You might not see the results in starting stage, but keep doing. You will definitely can lose weight with my plan.
