A Running Doc’s Life: Working Out with Connor!

What do you do when you want to go workout and you have the grandkids for the weekend? You have them join in! It is never too early to get them going. Sarah and I had a good time, and so did Connor. It also made the workout more fun for us as well. He had to get involved with every part of it, including stretching!

Whenever Sarah and I are doing hamstring lifts, we are usually giving each other some back support so we don’t lift up off the bench. We had a great back supporter this weekend!

He had to get in on the triceps’ dips as well…

Connor was also great at helping with the sit-ups, including doing them himself!

He could not let grandpa and grandma do this on our own, but he did think it was funny when Sarah and I were trying to show off our muscles…

Once again, we had a great weekend with the grandkids. Pretty soon Tessa will be out there with us too. It is never too early to start getting them involved in their own health. They can participate and help and have fun too. We definitely had more fun as well! Whether walking, biking, using weights, it does not matter. Get them out moving as well. They want to be involved. They will mimic what they see. Get them into a pattern early, and at the same time, the effort you are doing will allow you to be around longer to spend time with them as well. The family that works out together, gets to spend more time enjoying life together! Keep moving everybody!
