We Are Going To Try The - TV Commercial Workout

As you know I am trying to find ways to get everyone in the family movie. My son loves TV and the hubby watches a lot of sports. When I came across this on Pinterest I had to jot it down. Depending on what type of commercial comes on TV there is an activity that you have to complete during the commercial. I can't wait to see how this works out!

Karate Night

Every Wednesday night the Boss has Karate. He started last year and has cruised through the belts. Right now he is a blue belt and is working on his 1st degree purple.
White
Yellow
Orange
Green
Blue
Purple (3 Degrees)
Red (4 Degrees)
Here is a picture of him this past Spring in his Orange belt with his trophy after a tournament.


While he practices each week in a local school gym, I wrestle with my 20months old little girl. We run to the potty atleast 3-4 times. She runs down the halls. She takes off at full force trying to run into the practicing kids. So we all get our workout some unconventional on our Karate Wednesdays.

A Work In Progress

This blog is definitely a work in progress as well as my weight, exercise and health. I am trying to think of ways I can daily get myself active along with my kids. I have been pretty busy in all aspects lately which shows up in a lack of posting. I am going to set a goal to post atleast twice a week and hopefully more if possible.
My Goal for the day is to come up with an activity calendar to track our progress. Think we may do better if we have a plan to follow. Come back tomorrow and see what I have planned for us. I hope that someone out there will find our journey useful and that we will be able to inspire others to get active as a family.
