I’ve started a new tradition called, “playtime workouts”. Almost every weekend I bring a boombox outside and workout while the boys ride bikes and play. It’s great because I get to workout and watch them, PLUS I’m a role model for them about the importance of having an active lifestyle. Today when I put my 5 1/2 yr. old to bed he said, “Hey Mommy, I have a surprise for you tomorrow. It has to do with your exercise.” I told him I couldn’t wait, and needed to know what it was. He said, “I have some new music for you! I think you’ll like it.” I thought that was so cute. I had no idea that he enjoyed the music and our new tradition of “playtime workouts” as much as I did!
