Today
Exercise/Phys. Ed.
I will be honest. I have struggled with my weight since I started having kids. With each child things got worse and it got harder to loose the weight. I was sooo sick during my pregnancies that I ate and ate and ate once I had the baby.
I have tried and tried to loose the weight, to eat right, to exercise. Many times I have started over. I am not giving up. Recently I started again. I cannot control my diet to much because of our financial situation but I can exercise. I have all I need and more, to do a good job of getting exercise every day. I have been at it for a couple weeks now. I exercised 3 times last week and one so far this week. I should have exercised Wed., but I didn't. I will today if the storm is not to bad.
My kids used a variety of things to get their Phys. Ed. credits for school. We are not a very active family. The kids were never interested in team sports. I guess I have been a bad influence on them. I hope to work on myself and encourage and inspire my kids to get more exercise.

Walks are a good way to exercise. This is Winterthur. I miss walking there, and at Longwood Gardens.
We bought a Wii with the Wii Fit and this is what I use now to exercise. There is enough variety that it keeps me interested. This is the Wii Fit game. My son is playing the snowball throwing game. I usually start my exercise with this. I like it a lot and it is a good warm-up.
You can ride a bike, do an obstacle course, fly like a bird, box and much more.
Here are a couple videos of my family playing on the Active Life: Explorer With Mat by Namco. We like it because you can play with more than one player at a time, the whole family can play, taking turns 2-4 players at a time. We took 13 or more little videos this day. We all had sooo much fun and got a lot of exercise too. I should do this more often with my kids!! The first video is of the mummy game you run from some mummies and use a 'code' with your feet to lock the gates behind you.
This one is a sliding on ice challenge. You press the arrows to give yourself more speed and steer.

I really need to exercise more too. *sigh* I always seem to be lacking enough motivation to get it done.
Your pictures look like you're all having fun with the exercising!
sorry my post was late this week!
