Motivation
In the gym I am always trying to find ways to help people get better. Sometimes I have to make big corrections and sometimes it is just fine tuning. That is why people come to the gym. We want to be corrected so that we can improve. The last few weeks I have noticed that I do this with my kids. I don’t think I do it to Sarah. I’ve been married long enough to know better. Yet, I find myself always wanting to correct and “fix” my kids. The issue is they don’t want it. In reality they don’t really need it. When they want help they will ask for it. So I’m working on being more supportive. What have I learned the last few weeks. It is far more fun to laugh with my kids then it is to critique their every move. Make today awesome.

Workout Strategy
Team Workouts are beneficial in many ways. They hold us accountable, they give us a cheering section, they give us planned breaks. Let’s have some fun and make the most of this team workout. Rules go as follows. Only one person can be working at a time. Hold one another accountable for good range of motion and technique. For the anchored sit ups you hold one another’s feet. The person doing the sit ups needs to touch their elbows to the top of their knees. You can break up the repetitions however you see fit. Suggestion is to keep the number of repetitions small and keep the speed and intensity high. For the relay portion, each person runs 200 meters at a time.
