I was in my 30's before I ever set foot in a gym & I was so uncomfortable!!! Major gymtimidation!!! (Ridiculous, I know. But that's how I felt.) I decided I didn't want my daughters to let fear keep them from joining a gym if that's something they should want to do down the road. So I've been waiting for my youngest to be old enough (13) to use the equipment so we could go to the gym as a family. Today was the day! My girls were rockstars! They were excited to go, suggested we try new things, & didn't want to leave! Afterwards we took showers, swam in the pool & then walked to the grocery store to grab some healthy lunches. I am one tired mom! But a happy mom!!! They asked if we could go back again tomorrow! Yessss! : )
