Run Mommy Run

Nobody wants to be the stereotypical grumpy new mom, but it's hard to avoid - between the sleep deprivation, the hormonal roller coaster and the sore boobs (not to mention the angst every time you see yourself naked), you're ready to give Oscar the Grouch some serious competition. You know the advice: nap when the baby naps, eat healthy meals and start exercising once the doctor says it's okay.

One of the best ways to follow that advice is to get a baby jogger and head out for a run (you don't need a sitter, you can do it anywhere and you'll get your endorphins flowing in just 20 minutes). If you're not much of a runner, don't worry -- you get plenty of benefits just from walking. Tiny babies should go easy on the bouncing anyway, so you'll have to start slow.

Now you're convinced - all you need is the equipment. Baby Jogger, the company that started it all, introduces a new Limited Edition City Series, designed just for urban parents. Essential features include a forward-folding multi-position canopy for extra sun protection, easy switching between locked and swiveling front wheels to help you maneuver in tight spaces and a patented one-step Quick Fold technology. To commemorate Baby Jogger's "Help Push for a Cure" campaign just in time for October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the jogger comes in pink, with the iconic breast cancer pink ribbon logo. A portion of proceeds go directly to the Massey Cancer Center to support research leading to new breakthroughs and treatments for cancer.

You'll be feeling good, and doing good. And you'll be on your way to getting your old body back.

As for your old life -- well, not so much.
