Fit Approach Sample Baby Registry
Jamie King and Alyse Mason Brill share must-haves for the fit mama who loves to sweat.
By Babylist Team
Jamie King and Alyse Mason Brill, founders of Fit Approach and the #sweatpink community, have always done everything together, and true to form, they’re both pregnant with boys at the same time. They put together a list of must-haves for the fit woman who loves to sweat—so most of what you’ll find on this registry are for mama, not baby. And that’s just fine with us: after all—happy, healthy mom = happy, healthy family.

The last thing you need when you’re wrangling a baby, a carrier, a diaper bag, a stroller (and more) is headphone cords getting all tangled up in your business.

If you’re taking baby out for a stroller workout, chances of a diaper explosion are basically 100%. Stash your diaper bag in the bottom of your stroller. It adds weight, but trust us, you’ll be glad you brought it.

This soft carrier goes on like a t-shirt and is perfect for letting your infant snuggle up to you and sleep on your chest. Once your baby hits 3 or 4 months, you’ll probably want to upgrade to a structured carrier - but for those early days, nothing beats the K’Tan for comfort and ease of use.

Again, let’s not destroy morale with too-tight, pre-baby spandex. You’ll get there, but for now, go for comfort, and for pants that will fit you at many sizes as your body recovers from the epic journey it’s just been on.
Ergobaby Omni 360 Baby Carrier - Pure Black
When you first start exercising with baby, you can do a ton of your exercises with baby in a carrier, from walking to lunging and stair climbing. The baby is just extra resistance - and your hands are free to do bicep curls, take a sip of water, or hang on to that railing if you’re climbing stairs.

It’s a spendy stroller, but if you’re planning to run with baby, it’s worth it. Think cost-per-use, and it becomes much more palatable.
