Pump It Up

Anyone who knows me, knows that I like love working out.  I have do it regularly or else I start to get very grouchy & irritable.  Sure, exercise keeps me in shape & is good for my health.  But it also does wonders for my mental well being.  A lot of times I go to the gym, put the girls in the play area, and sweat it out for about an hour.  Other times, though, we stay home & I hop on the elliptical & do weights in our exercise room, i.e. play room.  Inevitably, the girls start to copy what I am doing during my workout session.  I can always guarantee that at least one of the girls will be next to me doing sit ups, lifting weights, or stretching.

Here is a sneak peek of them getting their workout on.  

I love that they get excited when it is time for me to workout.  I love that they enjoy copying everything that I do during my workouts.  And I love that they seem to enjoy working out as much as I do!

Physical activity is so important for children & I am so happy that my girls love to be active.  I can only hope that their love for exercise continues for many, many years to come!
