In an attempt to reclaim my body after having two children, I've been doing "Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred." Ava loves doing it with me, and to my surprise, she has an attention span long enough to do the first 6 minute circuit with me. She does a great job following along.
After she said, "Whew, I need a break Mommy," she sat down in her chair with her bowl of goldfish crackers and watched me. There were a few times I was not following along accordingly, and she got up from her chair and said, "No Mommy. This!" while showing me the proper movement. If I was too tired and dropped my weights, she would get up and say, "No Mommy," and then give me my weights.
What a great little personal trainer I have! She doesn't let me cheat! :)
Jillian points to the girls' muscles while explaining the moves on the video. While I was doing my sit ups, Ava came over and pointed to my stomach and whispered something to me, just like Jillian.
Last of all, she will stand on my toes as I do sit ups and count them.

I have also been trying to go on more walks with my kids.
Who needs a double stroller? Ava sometimes fits her entire body in the basket. Works for me!
I should probably check the weight limit on it. :)
My fearless girl!
Ava is no girly girl. Once, on a walk with Justin, she collected so many earthworms, her hands couldn't hold them all.

You have a great little trainer. Heather says that was the video we did and it killed me!!! Heather had no problem doing it. I quit after the first 6 min.
I love the video. I love the stroller idea, maybe you should reinforce that basket...grin
Busy day today
we got a lot done.
Hope you had a productive and fun day as well.
love, mom
