Yesterday, the #1 son, the princess, two mangy mutts and myself embarked on a new adventure in trying to get back into shape. We walked for two blocks, did some mountain climbers, walked two blocks, did some jumping jacks, etc. At the park, we did some modified pull ups on the monkey bars, did some speed climbs up the slide, took turns running and jumping over the painted storm tiles that serve as kids' tunnels and generally had a blast. We wrapped it up by "racing" the dogs the final block back to our house and then we did some ab work. A 30 minute moderate to medium workout, cleverly disguised as play. (and as #1 likes to point out, it's really offensive that the street department labels those poor children.) It was a blast and I highly recommend it if you're workout is in a rut. Tonight, it'll be back to a boring mile or two walk/run combination.

Quality kid time AND a workout. Excellent.
Like the I said - 'play like when you were a kid'. It will be a workout every time.
