Isaiah: Chin Up Master

Calisthenics with the big kids today. There is such a thing as too much fun because we were laughing and taking so long to get through the exercises the first time, I actually went through the whole thing again by myself. I'm definitely not a calisthenic pro, but I try. . . and my kids get a lot of laughs. ;)

Isaiah is the best at chin ups for sure! He can hold himself up for a long time. He loved showing off. So, I'm giving him the spotlight in this post.

Ana was so cute. She's my little dancer, and she looked like a pixie trying to do chin ups.

Then, there was me. Oh my. I cannot do a chin up. NOT ONE. So first, I pulled up a chair, and tried to make my legs dead weight on the chair while I pulled up on the bar. That was too easy. So, Isaiah showed me how he jumps to get up there. So, I thought I could jump up from the chair. That's what I can do at this point. Isaiah got some oh so flattering pictures of my attempts.

We did chin ups, sit ups, chair dips, jumping jacks, jump squats, planks, jumprope, crunches, burpees, and flutter kicks.

Selah was a big help the second time through! I don't have any pictures, but she was really sweet, and I just kept her close for most of the exercises.

Three meals down. Three to go! Matt just brought home some tilapia. I'm going to learn how to cook fish! :)
