Cathe and the Rescue Heros

Hi Cathe!

I just had to share this story with you about my DS who is 5 years old. He has watched me do your videos for the last 3 years. This year he has become a bit "obsessed" with you in the cutest way. It started with him doing the kickbox videos along with me. Then he started doing all your workouts with me. We gave him a small wooden rod for his barbell and he was using playdough cans for his assorted dumbells. Well then he moved on to doing the videos on his own...almost everyday! He now knows most of your videos word for word LOL! In fact today we were doing Pyramid Lower Body and as I was struggling through the static lunges he says to me " Mommy I'm using 1,000,000 pounds but that's just an indication use what works for you" Not only that but he knows the name of every muscle we work out. My son even makes his own rotations every few weeks. Well the next step was to be just like you so he started doing your videos and teaching an imaginary class.

This week was the kicker of the whole thing. I went downstairs to our family room and he was doing IMAX2 and had his Rescue Heros lined up behind him in the exact order that your crew is in. He was even calling them Cedie, Jai etc LOL! I wish you could be a fly on the wall in my house to see him. It just cracks me up. I guess there are far worse things he could be obsessed with. He recently started Karate lessons and the teacher asked me where he learned to kick so well. He jumped in and told them "from Cathe". I hope you get a smile from this story knowing that in our house you have now replaced the Rescue Heros as my son's (and mine!) #1 hero!

Thanks for making such wonderful workouts and inspiring me to be as fit as I can be.

ps I would have used lots of smiley icons but they aren't working for me for some reason. I am still laughing even as I write this post!
 
Alison~That has got to be THE cutest story I've read! Talk about putting a smile on someone's face! I would love to be that fly on the wall, especially watching him do IMax2!!! What a great example you have set for him. Please take a pix of him (with his Rescue Heroes) and post it. I would love to see it! :7 (Sorry Cathe for butting in here. I couldn't resist!)

Alison, That is so cute. You should video tape him and send it to Funniest Home Videos. And let us know, so we can watch. :7

May God always grant you a sunbeam to warm you... a moonbeam to charm you...& a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you :)
 
Alison,
Your story is soooo cute! My 4 year old son loves Cathe too. He loves to workout to the kickbox videos especially. He also puts them in on his own. I haven't seen him teach a class to rescue heros yet. Too funny. I hope my younger son will like Cathe too (he won't get a choice).

Alison - That story made my day too!!! My son is almost 2 and he loves Cathe too!! He likes to mimic my workouts with her, but he isn't quite as advanced as your son! I'm sure, in due time!! ;-) Cathe will LOVE this story. Thanks for sharing!
 
Alison, that is so cute. Sounds like your son is going to be a world famous exercise instructor someday....maybe even before he graduates from Elementary school, the rate he is going! :D
Thanks for posting this. I know this is Cathe's thread, but I had to chime in here as well.
I can't wait until she reads your post.
 
This is too cute. My four year old son also works out with me, complete with 1 lb. hand weights and a sweat band. And if I skip a couple of days, he reminds me that we are starting to backslide. He is like my own little personal trainer.
 
That is so cute and funny! I wish I could see him in action! Adorable!
I'm glad it has helped him with Karate too. Just too precious.:D
 
Hi Alison! This is just so VERY cute. I was chuckling the whole time I read it, but then when I got to the Rescue Hereo's part I just REALLY busted out laughing. Funnier yet is as I did this the others in the office said "oh you must be reading the rescue hero's story?"

Your son's creative innocense and determination is endearing and just warms my heart. Thanks for sharing this with me (us) and giving us all a great big chuckle. Please tell your son he is MY hero! :7

Take Care,
Cathe
 
Thanks so much for your kind words everyone! I am so glad to have a place to come and fitness friends to share this with. Only you all here can truely appreciate the humor! I will do my best to get a photo and post it here. I love hearing the other stories of your little ones and their enthusiasm for working out with you. Children are such a blessing. I hope I can remember these days with my son for years and years to come.

Cathe, I told my son that you said he was your hero tonight and he was speachless! He was so excited! Hmmmm, I think that you ought to consider adding a set of Cathe and Crew action heros to your Cathe gear you are going to sell! I would be sure to collect the whole set!
