Welcome to the Get Fit Guys quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up. My name is Ben

Greenfield. I'm the Get Fit Guy and in today's episode, you are going to discover the best fitness

gear for new parents. Now, you've seen it before, the dreaded dad bod. And ladies, I certainly know

that many of you find fear and trepidation and the thought of all that extra body fat and all those

stretch marks that come along with a new baby. Then, of course, when it comes to a new baby,

there's the entire phenomenon of shedding your muscles, losing your fitness, and skipping

all your workouts because you're changing diapers, sucking snot out a little one's nose, or catching up on lost sleep from middle of the night cry fest.

Frankly, as a father of twin boys who's done everything from Iron Man to competitive

obstacle course racing, while my boys were babies, I can tell you that parenting doesn't need to be

this way. It is 100% possible to stay fit and healthy as a new parent, and to have a fit and

healthy baby, too. And in today's episode, I'm going to give you my top tip, gears, and books

for pulling it off. So let's start with the best health and fitness gear for new parents. First,

a baby jogging stroller. There's no reason you can't go on runs when you have a baby,

but the problem is that

most baby jogging strollers force your body into extremely poor biomechanics and running

form, resulting in ankle, knee, hip, and low back injuries, which is not what a new dad or mom wants.

For example, in most conventional jogging strollers, the kinds you usually see getting pushed

around running trails, at least one hand needs to be pushing

on the jogging strollers handlebars at all times, which results in awkward running form, a slower pace,

and very poor running economy. To avoid these problems, I'm a big fan of a jogging stroller called

The Kid Runner. And everything I talk about, by the way, I'll link to just go to quick and dirty tips.com
