wii workout

New Year's resolution: to workout, eat right and get healthy. Alex and I have been true to that, both shedding pounds while working out using our Wii system. And what I love even more? The positive role models we are being for our kids. Tyler has grown accustomed to sharing the family room with us as we workout. We've had a few bumps (teaching Tyler it is not ok to slide under my legs while doing lunges) but now Tyler even likes to join in.

On this particular occasion, I asked if Tyler wanted to join me and he lamented that he didn't have a ribbon. I finally figured out that he was referring to my resistance band. We fashioned one for him from Christmas ribbon and when I turned around he was already setting himself up with the game remote, putting the nunchuk in his pocket to emulate the leg band. Too funny! He even had the patience to participate in four exercises before putting it down saying, "Mom, I'm done."
