Reading
First and foremost, reading and understanding the way that this jogger is supposed to work is of the utmost importance. You wouldn’t insecurely seat your child in a car, and you wouldn’t insecurely seat your child in a baby jogger, so having a clear idea of how the jogger works is key in getting the full enjoyment out of it. Making sure your baby is strapped in nice and tight isn’t hard to do with the intuitive clips and straps, so double check your work and you’re ready to go.
Pacing
Find what pace works for you. Keep in mind that this is not going to be like your normal jogging, because going for a run by yourself involves bursts of speed that tire you out and get you a very long distance in a very short amount of time. Babies and toddlers are an added weight that you have to account for, as well as being little people that might not like being thrust forward at such velocities. Practice with your kids and work out what pacing they’re comfortable with. Remember that these are also people that are exercising with you, so they need to be comfortable just as much as you do.
Play Games
Finally, keeping them entertained is important, because the running is what’s keeping you entertained, but they’re just being pushed for a long time in a straight line. Play games like “I spy” with them, or sing them songs that they like as you run. It’s important to note that adventures in the world with their parent will likely be fun regardless, but adding a little extra for them will mean they look forward to going for a run just as much as you do.
With these tips, you and your kids are ready to take on the world and run a decent distance. The more they get used to it, the fewer complaints you’ll have about exercising, and the more you push them around the fitter you’ll get, faster!
