My 11 yo & 9 yo did the entire Cardio Kicks workout!!!

[WannaBeStrong]

Good Morning all! My kids wanted to workout with me Monday night, and my teen prefers kickboxing workouts. I put in Cardio Kicks (THANK YOU Marla!) and my 9 and 11 year old did the entire workout! (My teen decided to do something else and I was working out in the other room.) I really was surprised that they lasted that long; I thought they would give up. I was so proud of them. My 11 year old could be a distance runner. My hubby used to have the kids do PE in the evenings and he would have them run to the mailbox and back. (This is almost a mile.) Well, my 11 year old would be the first back and not even winded.

I just wanted to share.
Have a good day everyone!

That's very cool Shirley. I hope I have active kids! I would love to have my son or daughter working out with me one day!

Have a great work out!

Shirley - that's way cool.

Wendy - as long as you continue to be a good role model, I'm sure your children will be active. They learn through example.

How fun. That's great Shirley. It's neat because there are males in that workout. Great intro for them. Wendy, it's true...they DO learn thru your example. Both of my kids are into fitness, even though there was a time they weren't interested. Who knows, maybe someday Cathe will do a kids workout.

Yeah, the sad thing is that I probably couldn't make it through that workout.

They want to try the Kickboxing workout in about an hour. I may try it with them, although I have already worked out today. But hey, it doesn't hurt to try to burn more calories, right?

As for children, it is all about example. They will follow your actions more than your words. (Kinda scary, huh?) My hubby works out too and my son and his friends (11-13 year olds) would go out to my hubby's workout room and work out. My DH even made a routine for them. It was cute.
