Meet my personal trainer!

Because I am really trying to stay motivated to achieve my New Year's goals. One of my goals was to work out 3 days a week. So far so good, however I realize I am only on week two. This week I have been on the treadmill, ellipitcal, and I have incorporated a new activity...a personal trainer. The best part about this trainer is he is free and he gets to burn off extra energy with me. Its a win-win situation. My personal trainer is my 3 year old, Zachary.

The other day we popped in one of our old DVD's "The Biggest Loser". I highly recommend any of the TBL dvds. It sounds silly but they really do burn calories and offer a challenge. My friend, Misty recommended them to me....Thank you Misty!


Here are our photos from my training session. I will warn you they are not pretty. In fact they are downright scary but since I am all about being real on my blog this is it. After our session we were both pooped! I learned this was a great way to survive cabin fever with a three year old. Z was tired too!

Getting started with our DVD...Bob is motivating us to get off the couch

Now we are jumping our imaginary jump rope.
Please note my trainer was also my photographer. Again these are a little scary!
Strength training
We are doing football drills.

Good for you to be working out! Adriana loves to help Ryan do his workouts too. I'm going to be starting Zumba up again, so I won't have my little one under foot, that's probably good for me, I don't think I have the patience to workout with her, I'm too sleep deprived. Keep up the good work!

Kids make the best trainers. Since we got the Wii Fit Plus, Samuel asks me every day to exercise. He loves the running the best - we stick the remote in his back pocket and he runs all over our basement.
