Exercise Girls

Today Sienna and I added "size" to our morning rhythm.
This is something that is long overdue for Mama.
Although I'm only 10 pounds away from my pre-Sienna weight, I've been having some back issues lately and miss feeling in shape.
Prior to becoming pregnant and embarking upon marriage, I was very in shape. I ran or hiked daily.

So, today we started something new.

I wasn't sure how Sienna would handle watching Mama exercise.
I don't want to start running again quite yet, as it's not the best weather to start something like that, especially not being in the best shape right now. (I sprained my ankle twice slipping on wet leaves while training for a half marathon).
Instead we opted for an exercise video!
I "built it up" for Sienna to get her excited about it and we even dressed her in some special workout clothes, too.
Here are the results ::

Don't worry it's very warm in the house!
Daddy built us another fire this morning.

Mama's running shoes still fit perfectly!

Up ...

and down!

It's important to stay hydrated while exercising!

Mama was able to do the whole video and feels energized.
Sienna enjoyed watching Mama run around the living room exercising and was entertained with her basket full of shoes.
The plan ::
alternate between different exercise videos during the week
run, hike, walk on the weekends
