"Workouting"

Once again my children reminded me that my lifestyle is going to affect generations to come. This afternoon I turned on Turbo-Jam and soon my minions had congregated around me on the living room rug. Child #3 (who is almost two) did the cutest combo of speed bags and kicks. Child #2 did crunches and spun around on his bum on the hardwood. Child #1 tried a few of the moves from the TV and then proceeded to invent her own workout (tribal dance meets jazzercize).

"Mom, I'm still work-outing," said my boy 10 minutes after I had turned off the 20 min. token workout video. (Even though it was a token workout - meaning I stayed in my jeans and honestly didn't sweat much - it was a workout and it took me one day closer to creating a daily habit. )

Child #2 inspired me with his extra mile attitude and I grabbed a couple cans of chili and did an extra 6 min. arm workout. Go team!
