One of the best things I do for myself is daily exercise. I feel my best when I get exercise into my day. I used to be a member of a local fitness club, but I have found it easier with kids to just squeeze in a workout video at home early in the morning. When I first started working out at home my boys would always ask me why I exercise. To be healthy. Losing weight is a great motivator in the beginning, but feeling energized, building endurance and being physically fit are the true reasons why I am faithful in sticking with it day after day. So when I started exercising at home I wasn't always alone in my workouts. The boys are so much fun to watch as they try to keep up with the routines. A few months back I bought Turbo Jam, a really fun Cardio Kickboxing DVD and Cameron said, "Mom that's not exercise, that's fighting!". A couple of weeks ago the boys joined in on one of my workouts and Spencer happened to be home and grabbed the camera. I think it's so much fun when they do this with me. 
I love it!! I could really use some of your drive and motivation. Maybe Cameron can come be my trainer??
ReplyDeletesooo cute! Maybe Anna and I will have to start working out together when the boys go to school.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of fun memories of working out with the kids! They were just talking about it the other day - you look great and I know what you mean about feeling better!
ReplyDeleteEvan & Lauren love to do my workout DVD's with me. I do really well getting up early and exercising during the school year, but haven't done it at all since school got out. I really need to get back to doing it.
