A member asked:
If i jog with my 9 month old in a pushchair will i burn more calories than if i jogged without her?

Yes you would: Since you have to do more work pushing her.

Not really.: On the one hand, yes, you're pushing extra weight as you jog, thereby increasing resistance. On the other hand, the inertia of the stroller can pull you along, making your jog easier and thereby causing you to burn fewer calories.
