WW: Attempting to share a treadmill (video)

Filed Under: Family Values Tagged With: family, kids, motherhood 9 Comments

The girls were motivated to exercise together while watching a few minutes of cartoons. My mom was hovering nearby just in case they fell while I took pictures. It got to be so exciting that I had to back up and video it.

First the photos…

 Miss A was not satisfied being on the back of the treadmill. She needed to be in first place.

After her take over, they started all over again. I got 30 seconds of partially side ways video. Enjoy this one and you’ll see that life is never dull or lacking entertainment at our house.

For the first time in a long time I got up this morning and did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. Dust flew around when I started. No matter how hard I tried it wasn’t 1/10 as much as fun as watching the girls and their exercise!

What’s your exercise routine? And what do you do to make exciting? I need some motivation beyond our girls entertaining exercise.

Linked up today for Wordless Wednesday…or wordy like I am to a few favorite WW blogger friends:

    This probably won’t work in your area except for 3 months a year but I run 3-4 days a week and cross train with a trainer two more days – all outside .. A little universal workout advice from an adreniline junkie – 1. One of my favorite mantras for this year is .. ‘You’re lapping everyone who is still on the couch’ and 2. I highly, highly HIGHLY recommend adding three songs to your iPod workout playlist .. ‘Fighter’ by Xtina, the original version of ‘Footloose’ and ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’. Put it on shuffle and watch what happens when those tracks rip .. 🙂 Happy Sweating!! Carin in Central California

    I think you just gotta do it for 3 months. After that, it becomes more of a habit and gets easier.

    They are cute on the treadmill. Mine aren’t allowed to play on mine – I’m not cool 😉

    You asked about my shirt, and yes, it’s a UNI track shirt. I have a friend who coaches there and she got it for me.

    oh, that is too cute. i started running a bit again this fall. my knees don’t like it, but at least it breaks up the monotony a bit. otherwise i have a gazelle machine i use while i’m watching tv. that’s the monotony. 🙂

    Heehee that is too cute! They are more entertaining than any TV. Ya know, I find I’m not a good self motivator. I do get on the rebounder once and a while but I am now realizing that to get to a good place with my head and my body I need more. So I am doing Nia classes (at lunch time so I don’t have to drive back to town) twice a week with a wonderful supportive group of women at the local dance center. LOVE IT! I also signed up for one night a week of belly dancing class just for fun and worth the drive back to town (I’m not as far out as you are tho).

    Kids are adorable! And children always make exercise look more fun than it is! I do not have a routine with exercise in it, but I probably should get into one! My son just turned 2 months, so the “i just had a baby” excuse is fading fast!

    Too cute! I just love your girlies!

    I don’t do enough! I have a great 2.5 mile trail close to my house and the hubs and I are going to start hitting that again soon. Otherwise I have some really good fitness games for my Wii that I try to remember to turn on and do!

    Miss A may be headed for a stint in slapstick comedy. So cute! I’m all yoga and pilates classes these days. Nothing like an instructor and class full of other people to boost the motivation!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
