Family Fun

I've been meaning to post about our family fun workout mornings. And I've been meaning to take my camera to the park so I could capture the fun. Well, I again forgot the camera today, but I decided pics from the camera phone are better than nothing.

Family Fun Workout Mornings are our favorite way to work out. Right now we are just doing this workout on Saturdays and holidays. Eventually, we want to incorporate it into a 3x a week schedule. Here's a typical day:

Walk & Run to the park. Rog and I switch off "running" blocks while the other pushes the stroller. Once we get to the park we use the equipment to do calisthenics, such as handstands, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, dips, squats, lunges, stairs, etc. We have a few regular routines, but Rog is always experimenting with some new techniques. For example:


Sarah had fun with Daddy on the swings as well. I'm just sad you can't hear all the giggling she was doing! SHE L.O.V.E.D IT!



Sarah typically runs all over the park, having free reign of everything - especially when it is only 8 a.m. on a cold, foggy Saturday.

All that fun really tuckered out our William. How he got stuck like this I will never know. It was a little difficult to pry out his chubby legs!

Exercise

Sarah woke up ready to work out with Mommy and Daddy this morning.


First she hopped on for a ride while Daddy was doing a variation of push-ups as part of his abdominal workout.


We both thought his "break dance" exercise was super cool.


Mommy was also working on Abs. I prefer the 8 Minute Abs series. I don't have to think about what exercise to do next and it is only 8 minutes long - every time. Sarah thought touching her toes was super funny. The guy on the video says it's "virtually physically impossible" to touch your toes in this position. Sarah does it without breaking a sweat!
