A Running Doc’s Life: Motivation for Spring!

As you can see, the grandkids came for the weekend! That does not stop our routine of working out. They just get to join in…and they love it! They are ready to go, and join, and be with us doing all of the exercises that we work on. We make if fun for them too!

We just make some modifications on how we do some of the exercises. We get them involved, and they are ready to go, and want to do more. The laughing and giggling also makes the workout much more enjoyable for us as well. They absolutely love doing situps because they are our weights to help hold us down!

Then they want to take turns sitting on our knees afterwards, so we play a game with them. “One for the money…two for the show…three to get ready…and four to go!” Then we open our knees, and they get trapped between us. The belly laughs from them are hilarious. If they had their way, all we would do is sit-ups!! Of course, the activity goes on inside the house as well. Connor is unstoppable with the energy, so we have to have exercise programs on to have him wear off some more energy!

This show is on you tube and is called “Danny Go”…appropriate if you ask me!! Connor is nonstop with moving with it. I get tired just watching him. But, the best part of the weekend is the snuggling and watching the smiles!

Man do I love my grandkids! We just sit back and wait for more! It is fun spending time with them, but one thing is for sure, when they come visit us, we are going to be active. Now that the weather is getting better, we will be riding bikes, hauling them behind our bikes to go to the park, go out walking, or what they really like are the toy “lawnmower races”. Push the toy mower from one end of the driveway to the other and see who wins. Of course they win, and the problem for us is they never want to stop! So, keep active just to be able to keep up with the grandkids! Keep moving everybody!
