We recently became aware of this intriguing new stroller accessory. Love Handles turns your stroller into an elliptical trainer of sorts, allowing you to burn twice as many calories by getting an upper body work out at the same time that you are walking or running with your stroller.
What do you think? Would you use this? Would you buy it for $99?
Check out the video of this mom shopping and strolling on Rodeo Drive.
Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Well, I think it’s great idea to complete a stroller workout (wearing sportswear), provided that it has some resistance – looks a little bit too smooth on the video. I would not use it with dress and stillettos, though
But waow, let’s celebrate moms’ endless creativity !!!
I think its a neat idea, don’t think I’d pay $99 for them. And, btw heals, dress and jewelry for a workout, don’t think so. Think the ad would relate to more moms, if she was in workout clothes walking her neighborhood.
I think that this would’ve been so perfect for when I lived in New Mexico, and walked the kiddos in the stroller every day! However, now living somewhere that we don’t take the kids on a stroller walk everyday because of the weather, I wouldn’t probably spend the $99. It is a way cool product though! Wow!! What will they think of next?! lol.

we live in a super hilly area, so i’m sweaty and puffing and red enough when we get back from our walk. but i can see, if you were in a super flat area and you’re so fit that fast walking or jogging didn’t do it for you….. go for it, look how happy that top mum is!
but be carefu l… brand new rookie mom’s don’t need the ‘i should be using the love handles while i do this’ guilty kinda feeling. just getting your stroll on is the thing aye?
This is a product that screams “Gimmick” to me. I agree with Claribell that just getting out for a walk is enough, plus surely lifting your child up and down 6 million times a day should keep those arms in good enough shape.
I say hellz to tha no. But I’m lazy like that.
I think she looked ridiculous, esp in a dress and heels Puuullleeeze! I aslo wonder how would you steer?
I just checked out their website and it looks awesome! That video seemed to be of many, but they predominantly show them being used for working out. You burn more than 3x the calories — I’m buying a pair!
Exercising with heels on? Seriously! (I’m with ya, Kimie & Jody. Haha VDog!) Doesn’t a work out usually involve sweat? Chic sweat? Nah.
Here is a great video that shows how Love Handles are used best when working out from NBC in Miami: http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local-beat/Bye-Bye-to-Baby-Fat-with-Love-Handles-84666937.html?__source=Facebook
I think everyone might be missing the point. I think this product is pretty cool – wish I thought of it. It isn’t about using it in high heels while shopping, it’s about working out with it and making the most of our strolling time with baby. I pay more than $99 per month for a gym membership so worth the investment IMHO.
