Make Exercise Fun for Your Kids and Join Them!

Kids love to move around especially when you do it with them. The other day I was playing with my fiancé’s daughter outside. She wanted to ride her bike in our back alley. What started off as a stroll up and down the alley turned in to a fun sprinting contest between her and me. I was running, she was biking and the first one to the end of the road won. She was having a blast and was working much harder than before to try and beat me. Sprint contests and tag are excellent games to keeps kids moving outdoors and working hard!

Another great thing to do is give your family a team name. Our name is “Team Hulett”, but you can get more creative than that. Then you can create a mile tracking poster and try to get to 100 miles together as a family via walking, running, swimming and/or biking. Kids get excited about crossing off each mile and it motivates them to be more active.

Seattle Weight Loss Bootcamp

I just finished the Seattle Weight Loss Boot camp. The Monday through Thursday, a 4 week bootcamp takes place at Green Lake rain or shine! I chose the 6am session, I didn't expect it to be so dark and cold!, but I survived. The program is awesome! I got a great workout every morning and felt really energized after. The instructor, Kimae, is a firecracker. She is full of passion and energy. I found her to be very motivating and humorous. Not only does she lead a killer workout, you will be sore after, she requires you to fill out a food diary, reviews it and gives helpful tips. She also provides valuable health and fitness information.

If you want to get in shape fast, I highly recommend www.seattleweightlossbootcamp.com. I have already signed up for another 4 week session and I convinced 2 of my friends to do it with me!
