asked me if she could workout with me this weekend! Little stinker. Unfortunately my gym doesn't allow children so I told her we could go bowling as a family and we could all get exercise. I also told her once the snow melts we could go biking together. Makes me feel good that my kids are picking up on my healthy habits!

    That is so adorable! My fiance will text me while I'm at work and he's home watching my daughter that she picks up my dumbells and says, " I'm going to work out right now." She's 7 as well.

    YAY! that's wonderful news! Did you know kids as young as 9-10 get eating disorders and children are suffering from obesity and type II diabetes? As a future nurse, that makes me so happy that you are encouraging your daughter's health, simply by being healthy yourself!! Congratulations, what a wonderful parent you are.

    My 9 & 10 year old will work out with me when I do a fitness DVD. My 10 year old son actually motivated me. He would be watching tv and the next thing I know he would either grab my 3lbs weights and start doing arm curls or he would drop to the floor and start doing push ups. Right in the middle of his tv show. I would sit there like wow...now why aren't I doing that. So now when I'm watching my shows I'm doing floor exercises.
