Reflections on Exercise

Our babysitter, Carol, took two weeks off to vacation in California. Sandy booked time off next week, and we plan a family vacation together from home. This week, however, the twins are spending all day with just dad. One of my goals for us this week is one hour of vigorous exercise per day. While this sounds easy, the weather, naps and insects aren’t cooperating. The spring showers are keeping the ground wet and the mosquitoes plentiful. Because afternoons are for napping, and the bugs feed in the late afternoon, this only leaves morning for exercise. Rather than fight the elements, we visited the gym at First Baptist Church’s Christian Life Center each morning this week. With school in session, we had the gym and toddler room to ourselves. We even timed it so we could watch our favorite morning show “Chuggington” during our cool down.
