Try anything once peeps…
On any given day we get a lot of questions asked around here at CultFit. One that gets asked quite often is how much exercise do the kiddo’s need? Because we know you are extremely busy pinning things and browsing Living Social we’ll provide you with a rather simple answer: Kids need less exercise than you think.
Why do we as parents feel that exercise needs to be something extreme and dangerous?
A really simple way we go about boosting our mood with the kids is by taking a brisk walk outside. And you know what? There are a lot of real, live trees out there! Plants and stuff! Don’t believe us? Click Here—> Green Exercise. Or as Sister Margaret likes to say: Get your damn be-hind outside!
The Plan-
The Workout-
We have had this program sitting in the corner for sometime now. Time to gently blow the dust off of it before the weekend…
A quick sweat inducing Warm Up consisting of three of the following movements:
*Sprints, Jumping Jacks, Perfect Push Ups, Goblet Squats, Walking Lunges, KB Swings, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Picking up Stuff and Tossing it About, playing with the Slosh Pipe*
We picked: Sprints, Walking Lunges and Throwing Stuff…The neighbors may think you’re nuts already. Wait until they see you throwing a med ball around the back yard?!? Followed By:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 One Arm Perfect Press while implementing a Finger Tip Pinch Grip on the non pressing hand? What do you normally do with the non pressing hand? Today using a Finger Tip Pinch Grip actively hold something while pressing with your other hand! Phone books, Bumper Plate, Softball, Cannon ball, Shot Put…Anything awkward and odd.
Top Tip: Look through the Press – Feet together – Balanced Hips – Actively Hold the Wight.
Notes:
Dad’s reading and lurking here today? Have a great weekend (We have a super special post for you on Sunday…)! Mom’s of the inter-webz? Without your help being a father is pretty darn hard at times…Have fun this weekend and ENJOY!!!
Love this. When we need exercise we all go to the park and just play. I get some strange looks but I am probably having more fun than my daughter….and the strangest of muscles are sore the next two days
That’s awesome for you guys! Who says we can’t have fun with the kids and play like they do
Hope you guys have great weekend!!!
Seriously….I am an omnomnomnivore.
Jerry just made my day…he said he met “her” on myspace…..is that still around? Then the classic qutote – I’ll try anything once…
I think anything will make me chuckle today now that I heard that…
