What children's fitness video do you watch? Deborah...when are we going to the gym together again??? Leticia, I love spring/summer for that very reason! Kids can go outdoors and maximize on fresh air! Good for you for turning the tv off...I bet they had a blast once out there! Amy, we have a large trampoline too! It's been a favorite way to exercise for almost 2 years now! Great investment...and I was worried they'd get tired of it after a couple months...they haven't yet! Jen...I WISH our homeschool group had a special class/rate at the gym! I didn't know you used to homeschool, neat. It's funny you mentioned the 4 season interpretation...the author of this book taught dance and gymnastics for years and years, and mentioned that it was the basis for this program. Thank you all for coming by and commenting! I so enjoy reading all your comments! Yesterday was a hugely busy day...I had 2 nieces over to spend the day playing, and then 2 more spend the night...and all was mostly fun and games...but oh my the potential for mischief! I didn't dare get on the computer! Never a dowager queen, Mom! ;)

He also rides his tricycle inside. He has also not been long walking and I think that gives him exercise too :) He does love the outdoors though I use to homeschool and we use to go to a local gym where they had a programme for the home school kids

They have bikes and a trampoline and they also play soccer. I think it's important for children to get some sort of exercise though.

I told them they had to play outside! With a bit of protesting, they put on their shoes and off they went.

Sometimes, the three younger ones come too and play in the gymnasium part while we use the machines. My husband is very good about taking the children out on week ends to go bike riding or hiking. I usually don't go on these little trips because it's just nice to have some alone time! :) My second oldest and I go to the gym almost every day.

We are using a children's fitness video - and my older ones are treadmilling. We've had a few days where they can be outside and play. So - nothing too creative, but at least we are moving! :) Sounds like you are doing a much better job than we are, Mary! :) And it sounds like fun!

I'm tired just thinking of all that running, jumping, slogging, etc! I don't have to do it when I come to visit, right? I can just see our little 'drama queens' loving every minute of it. I'll just sit in my chair and be a 'dowager queen', reminiscing about the days when activity was the real spice of life! Wow! I’m tired just thinking of all that running, jumping, slogging, etc!
