Different Forms of Exercise

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

I really think my daughter and niece are trying to kill me.

We swam for 4 hours Saturday.

We played tennis yesterday and we are all set to go play tennis again today during my lunch hour.
The girls are 12 so of course they haev the stamina and energy. I was up til 1:30am with allergies and I'm at work right now, while they sleep in and plan for our days adventure.
If it wasn't for the fact that my niece is only here for a week and my daughter is so excited about going to the courts, I would sleep through lunch. emoticon

There idea of fun is making aunt/mom sweat and pant. That's my idea of torture/ exercise.

Who knew my daughter and niece's need to beat me at sports would bring my motivation back.
I am now more determined to get in better healther because I refuse to keep huffing and puffing chasing around the tennis balls emoticon.

Although I will do it because it is keeping all of us healthy and we have so much fun.

Tomorrow they want to play basketball.???

HELP!!!!

    Kids are a great motivator. They help us stay younger.

    Kids have a way of making you feel young. So good you are hanging in with them and getting in some fitness activity at the same time. Keep having fun with girls.

    I think you may owe your daughter and niece some personal training fees! emoticon Not only does hanging out and playing with kids get your heart racing but it reminds you of how simple life can be. Hanging out with my nieces and nephews rejuvenates me like no massage or facial can ever do.

    Although it may feel like torture at the time, relish the good it is doing you and the additional spurt towards your goal!!
Their being so active is great - so many kids just seem to want to sit around watching TV or playing electronic games.
Enjoy!

    Sometimes I think that hyper, energetic kids make the best trainers. Good luck!

    At least they are active. Enjoy the week and when your niece leave, go get a nice massage for yourself! Good luck.
