Staying Fit as a Family

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. The days just seem to run together, there is always so much to do.

Training as usual, plus I've been attending the Gauntlet workouts regularly and I can tell you, I've seen a difference. These Gauntlet workouts are so effective and ADDICTIVE! I've been finding that Ken and I have been making special trips back down to the gym on Saturday mornings to do the Gauntlet for a month now!

It's fun working out together as a family too. Over the Easter break my oldest daughter was home from college and we brought her and Ken's son to the Gauntlet. They were so impressed after the first round of 8 exercises they thought we were done. When I told them they did great and had only 5 more rounds to go their expressions were priceless! They did it...all 6 rounds of 8 exercises in 30 second intervals. They really enjoyed it! Sara was talking about it for 3 days afterward to her friends and on Facebook. She was really sore, but thought it was an awesome workout. I know when she comes home for the Summer she'll be wanting to come regularly to them. I can't wait!! Ken's son had an opportunity to do the Gauntlet again, however this workout was 6 exercises 60 second intervals...a bit more challenging but he made it through.

While Ken and I work together on a daily basis, drive into work together and go home together we don't have much time to enjoy any workouts together, so I look forward to our Saturday morning visits back to the gym to workout with the Gauntlet.

We've had a few people ask if they can bring their son and or daughter to the Gauntlet and I think this is a great idea!! I hope we are able to be a positive influence to our children and share a positive experience with them regarding health & fitness. It would be great to have a monthly "Family Gauntlet" day at the BrickHouse to do just this!
