    This is awesome and I wish I had pics, my brother is a beast and I've been lifting since September. I love seeing your mom doing squats!

    That is great! Your mom has great form!

    My mom is a marathon runner and triathlete. Hard being in her athletic shadow since I hate to run... lol I haven't been able to get her into lifting yet but hopefully soon.

    I wish.

    My family is happily sedentary. I'm hoping to inspire and lead by example.

    It's not personal, Jim.

    Yooves, families come in all shapes and sizes.

    My kids are really into fitness, but none of the rest of my family members are. I don't have any pictures at this time to post.

    Jealous. My mother told me that with my blood-type, I only need to do cardio, and my sister just finished a round of HCG.

    When our schedules allow us, we all workout together. It's fun trying to outdo each other. Last fall we all ran a 5K together. It was great!!

    My brother & I train together (and play golf, walking, weather permitting). My wife & daughter are on MFP with me, so we can encourage each other. We're not in as good a shape as your family BackTat (not YET, anyway). But it's pretty cool having family that are involved with each other.

    I'm pretty much the only active one in my family except my son and my mom. My 6 year old loves working out with me and we've run 1 5k together. This year he's doing the kids marathon same day I'm doing the full. My mom was biking to work every day until she moved out here. She's on break til she gets a new bike lol Hoping others will join us lol

    My brother. He's the one who got me into lifting. He's been serious about fitness since high school, played football in college. He's the one who got me out of the "I need cardio everyday for hours and hours" mentality and into the weight room. Thank God.

    **meant to quote bcf7683**
    Thats great I need to find motivation to hit the cardio room once a week now, when before I would do cardio 5 days a week after lifting.Would much rather spend my energy lifting heavy weights now.
