My wife took this picture this past weekend while we where in Buffalo for my niece's communion. Instead of watching from the sidelines my lifestyle enables me to experience new things with my kids. I was able to climb with her and show her what to do instead of being a spectator. My kids see me exercising and being active all the time. This is going to be ingrained in their memory. Hopefully it will lead them to stay active and live a healthy lifestyle as they grow older. I encourage all of you to do the same thing with your kids. Let them learn the importance of exercise and eating right from your example. Next time you are watching TV get on the floor and do some crunches or pushups and watch their reaction. More than likely they will attempt to do the same movements that you are doing. Encourage them to challenge themselves and grow strong!
The intention of this Blog is to spread information around to members training with Monkey Bar Gymnasium, S.I.N.Y. Whether it is a upcoming group trail run/hike, thoughts about a recent workout, related member news or any topic related to the pursuit of a healthier self we can post and discuss it here.
