Maybe if I start bench pressing Garrett I can get my arms like that.

I’m full of excuses! :-)

You should write the book and put it out as an e-book. (Pages and covers are quickly becoming a thing of the past anyway…)

Totally creative, and timely for me. We were going to get a Y membership, but were not sure we could financially swing it quite yet. I thought all hope was gone for me to get exercise. But the same revelation hit me…I want my kids to be active, and I need to get active with them.

Last week I took three of them (while baby was sleeping) out to the garage. I was on the treadmill while they rode their bikes in the garage (it was a cold day.) I thought I was being creative…but now this blog post is next level. Love it! Thanks for all the ideas.

Oh, and you should write a book. Do you know how many women would go crazy over a book like this?

I love the family blog and the different views brought by each of you. I am thankful that you each are so willing to share your love for God and your lives.

We jump on the trampoline. We also play “airplane”. Like the picture above with Kaden on your feet. Hide and seek is a big one. Riding bikes. Jumping jacks—-see who can do the most! Jump rope. soccer.

When the weather is cold I put in an exercise video and the kids do it with me.

Oh, for dads, wrestling with the kids!

Great post!

I am one of those moms who used to go to the gym. But 4 active kids later and I just don’t have the time to go regularly. These are great ways for me and the little ones to be active and just to spend some time together playing. Playing, something else that gets neglected from time to time with all we have going on. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
