Hi Friend!
Happy Friday to you!
Yesterday, Vivi and I drove to school so we could grocery shop afterwards. This was a real difficult battle for me because I really like all the cardio minutes we get from commuting to school.
So, I made lemonade.
Free Play We got to school, 15minutes early and played at the playground. We pretended we were firefighters and were getting calls to put out fires and save kitty's. We climbed, and crawled and ran and slid. All the fun stuff you'd imagine. Then we saw a hungry lion and the hungry lion saw us, and we looked good.
Eeek. We ran and hid. But he smelled us. We crawled, climbed and hid again. But he found us again. Then we sprinted as fast as we could to the other side. And then he found us. Then one of Vivi's classmates and mom showed up and we all hid, well maybe not the mom. And then it was time to go, so we ran to the Oak tree. Walked to school. Saw all the other kids and parents.
And then, Vivi realized she left her mochilla (backpack) at the playground. So we ran all the way there and all the way back.
Wooo.
By the time I got back to my car, it was 25 minutes of interval training. Crawl. Climb. Walk. Run. Lunge. Squat. Duck. Sprint. Laugh. Play. Breathe hard.
It was perfect.
It's not as much cardio as I would have liked, so I'll have to make up the step count with the shopping (no cardio minutes there), but it was fun, I moved and I got primed for a good day.
There's nothing like a Friday workout to set up your day and weekend.
Good luck with yours.
