Work It Girl!

Jordan has been going to the gym with Big Daddy. She loves it! Now that she is old enough to go she wants to go everyday. They do the circuit, run on the treadmills, and really love the Expresso Bikes! The bikes are super cool and are set up so you can race each other on a video screen. You can choose your route and can even go mountain biking. J is determined to "kick daddy's butt" in one of their races but has not been able to. According to Big Daddy she is getting better everyday though. J also loves the rock climbing wall and is expressing an interest in the water aerobics...since Big Daddy doesn't swim in public pools (germa-phobe) it looks like I will be the one joining J for water aerobics on Mondays and Wednesdays (ahem...there will be no pictures. You. Are. Welcome.)


I love to hear all about their gym adventures and see J tell Big Daddy, "This is the day. I am soooo gonna kick your butt on the bike!" E-V-E-R-Y day as they head out to the gym. I also love when J comes home and flexes her muscles and asks me to "check out these guns!" (wonder where she got that from?!)

Yep...she is awesome and so is her daddy.

Go, Jordan, go! Whip your daddy's butt! I know you can do it! :)

I think that's so great that they're spending time together working out! Sounds like they have a little competition going on, too!

How cool is that. Those father/daughter relationships are so special. I was such a Daddy's Girl, and proud of it!

How fun! I'm excited about your gym membership, what a fun activity to do as a family.

I took a water aerobics class LONG ago and it was awesome. Seriously kicked by butt, but awesome. You and J will love it.

What a great way to make a healthy relationship and a healthy body! Way to go J and Big Daddy!

Oh and I would so join J for water aerobics!

christyzee said...

So cool! I remember when I used to get excited about working out...that was a loooong time ago! Many children nowdays don't want to get off their butts for anything, so it is cool to see them want to treat their bodies good!

Jill said...

That sounds like soooo much fun! I can't wait till my oldest is old enough to do things like that with me. Maybe it will get my butt of the couch and away from the computer.

I am not sure if you have signed my follower list yet or not.. I messed it up earlier and lost a bunch of people.

I think that is SO wonderful, not only that they get daddy-daughter time, but that she is getting into the habit of exercising at a young age. That is really good for her!

Oh. Working out. I think I heard of that one time.

Michelle said...

Go Jordan go! I wish I could find time to take Reid to the gym with me.

Cecilia said...

That's so much fun! I love that they go together and try to compete against each other.....lol

Tell them they need to try a Zumba class. That should be lots of fun for both of them :) and for you too!

Jules said...

How fun! I have lots of good memories going to the Orem Rec Center with my mom & step-dad. Swimming and racquetball were my favorites. BTW I too heard Zumba was awesome. Go J!

Superjaxster said...

I wish we had the bikes you were taking about. Perhaps that would actually motivate me to go, go, go!

Andrea said...

How great that she is getting into excercising at her age already. Way to stay active, J!!
