I’ve been enjoying Nordic Walking with Baby Champuru in her Beco Baby Carrier.  Baby Champuru seems quite content riding on my back and is quiet for the duration of the walk, enjoying the sights or taking a short nap.  She actually seems to enjoy being in the carrier more than riding in her stroller.

The walking poles and the additional weight of baby (15 lbs. or so) turn a brisk walk into a great workout.  Not to mention the fresh air and endorphins does wonders for my disposition.  I’m hoping to make a 30-45 minute walk a regular part of my day at least 5 times a week.  I hope the side effect will be some weight loss and muscle toning.
