Time to work out!


Recommended Posts

So there is an elementary school by my house that has soccer practice on the field every night. As I was driving home tonight, I saw one of the dads pull a kettle bell out of his trunk and start doing kettle bell swings right on the sideline as he watched his kid. Thought it was great.

Anyway, thought this was a great example of how there is always time to workout.

I'll get down on the office floor in my area and stretch just about every morning. Can't say i'd bring a kettlebell to work though, would more than likely break something important.

Yeah... that could be bad. We have a big gravel parking lot (aside from the main parking lot) that isn't used very often. I workout there.

If your can't fix it with bacon, you're probably going to die.

That's awesome! I see moms walking around the baseball complex where our kids play sometimes. You can easily get two miles in between warmups and the start of a game that way. :)

When I was a toddler my mom used to hold me on her shins airplane style and do situps. It ended up being a game of peek a boo for me. I don't remember it, but we've got some great pictures, and it was an easy way for her to get her workout in.

One of the things my fiancee and I are considering for when we have hellspawn is that trailer stroller attachment thing to hitch to bikes. I found one that looks really good, and am hoping it'll have the same effect as going for a drive.

I have 2 cousins that are about 18 years younger than me and are comparable sizes. They got a great kick out of me doing curls, presses, and extensions with them (and it was one of the more brutal workouts I've ever done).

I think I've bored you all to death with my story- 3:30am. That way it's totally MY time. I can focus and not feel push and pulled in all directions. When the weather cools again, I'm going to start carrying my gym bag & run during my lunch hour. It's just too brutal in this Houston heat.

I love the kettlebell idea, I think that will be my next financial splurge!
