I’m pretty sure I messed up my wrist trying to steer the stroller with one hand while the other had a death grip on a giant cup of coffee. And I’m pretty sure that a sore wrist gets you out of exercise for another week — at least. Luckily, we have Nat to tell us how it’s done. ~Rebecca

Everything from the swings to the benches can be our key to fitness freedom and achievement. Continue reading 'Pimp My Playground: A Workout For New Moms'»
