Alrighty, friends. So many of you have asked where I got my shoes, featured in this pic here. Once again, Reebok?they hit it out of the park with these classic style, fashionable wedge-tennies. I am in love with the Reebok Women’s AK Wedge!

My kids are teenagers, so we can do lots of things together. We like to take walks, kayak on Lake Powell and the Colorado River, swim, hike, climb, wade through mucky, muddy slot canyons filled with tumbleweeds (I recommend this one for you and your kids–great adventure), and even lift weights.
My favorite exercise to do with my kids is bike riding!. Going out for an all day biking adventure is wonderful 🙂
Squats! Our 11 month old LOVES when I hold her with one hand on her bottom and one around her waist; and she looking out. Every time I squat she goes lower and she laughs. Hearing baby laughs while getting in some exercise is the best motivation!
I have a small daycare and we use exercise video’s (maybe you and chris should consider making one 😉
This is a clip of our favorite:

Hi!
I am a fitness instructor teach 5-8 times a week. I often practice my choreography in the house and my kids are my participants. Then they like to be the teacher and I follow their moves. It gets very creative and often ends in a dance party!
Fun time for everyone!
I teach a Fit Kids class at my gym (5-9 yr olds), and their favorite thing to do are the obstacle courses I make. I alternate what I use but anything from weaving in and out of cones, crawling through an expandable tunnel, crab walking across the room, hopping or climbing over different heights of aerobic steps, “balancing” on tape on the floor, etc. The activities and combinations are endless, it’s very active, and takes little to no equipment!
My kids and I do frog jumps up the stairs sometimes when headed up to bath and bedtime.
I like to do kissing sit-ups, which is fun and funny for the kids at the same time. 🙂
I don’t have any kids but I am a teacher. I have to teach my own gym class and plus working in a school for students with severe behaviours, I have been known to chase down an upset student down the hall, lol.
I’m a little pre-emptive with “favorite exercise to do with kids,” as I’m still working on my first, but I’m super excited to take the little nugget on walks around town. I’m planning on getting a jogger as the only stroller, so that I can use it always. Our town is small enough, too, that I can walk anywhere and still be only 2-3 miles from home. This fall, and definitely next summer, we will be walking/running everywhere.
