Some of my best memories of childhood are playing outside with one or both of my parents. Great idea to use that energy rather than trying to squash it.

I love that your kids asked what you do at the gym for fun...what a great reminder for us grownups - yes, exercise can be fun! As our children grow we'll be able to do more and more with them - bike riding, hiking, skiing, swimming, etc. It's so great that you are inspiring them early on. Keep it up!

I often pick the kids up from their mom's morning out program and we head to the soccer field and practice. They also are very proud of the fact that I'm an amateur runner and they always want to know what I "do at the gym for fun". The park near our house has a small dirt track. I will run the kids there in the double-jogger and then the run laps on the track before we leave, usually with me chasing them. So much fun to include kids in fitness this way! I wish I had a 10th of the energy they seem to have. I agree with your sentiments. I often pick the kids up from their mom’s morning out program and we head to the soccer field and practice.
