The kids and I have discovered a great way to exercise together. We live not too far from a park that has a walking trail around it. There's no side of it hidden from the other--- it's very open with trees lining the edges--- a very nice park. :0) To keep our "P.E. class" time a little more interesting Hayes rides my bike TO the park while Katie and I ride in the car behind him. When Katie and I arrive we check our watches and begin our laps alternating between a fast-paced walk and a jog. After Hayes has ridden the trail on the bike for 3 or 4 laps he gets off and gives Katie a turn. Our goal is to do at least 20 minutes each time-- of course working up to more time each "class". ;0) When our work-out is complete it's Katie's turn to ride the bike home and Hayes and I ride home in the car. It's a routine that is working really great for us!!!
I've finally gotten the kids to understand that since I am their mother for goodness sakes... that they should both be able to run circles around me. So, we've agreed that their goal for each of them to out-walk me and out-jog me.... :0) Over-all health is our MAIN goal here... BUT... I really would like to be skinny for just a little bit of my life--- this side of Heaven..... :0)
