Last night we took the kids to Fitness University, an 8 week summer series for kids organized by our local running club. Basically they offer free clinics once a week for the kids to come exercise, run, stretch, play and learn about healthy living and eating. At the end of the series they have a big field day where the kids get T-shirts, run races and have fun putting all their new fitness skills to the test.
Teya was SO excited to put on her "running clothes" and go to the track like Daddy. The kids are grouped by age so as soon as we got there she made a beeline for the 5 years olds and got ready for a lap around the track.
She ran the whole way, keeping a nice steady pace. We've taught her well ; )
All smiles coming into the finish
And of course she had to stop and stretch when she was done.
Then the 3 year olds were up
Brinley was cuter than a bug running on the track. Taber caught a 15 second clip of her running that gives you an idea of the adorableness.
It took the 3 year olds a bit longer to get around the track since they had a few more walking breaks : ) But they made it around and were rewarded with a cool drink after their tough workout.
Then they stretched
And Brinley was pretty proud of herself.
After a vigorous game of follow the leader, the 3 year olds sat down for some lessons on healthy eating. Their homework for the week is to eat a new fruit or vegetable they've never tried before.
Back at the 5 year old camp Teya was playing duck duck Goose.
And Cam was just soaking it all in with his toothy little grin.
The 5 year olds finished with the long jump and I must say, Teya looked pretty awesome!
The whole thing was so fun for the kids who can't wait to go back next week for more fitness fun : )

OK when did Teya turn 13?? Seriously...she looks so old in all of these pictures (and OH SO adorable). And Brinley is just as cute as a bug. Love her pose at the end.
What a great activity for kids. I wish there was something like that around here. We could use a boot camp for Miley in healthy eating. :)
JEALOUS!!! I wish we had something like that near us! Brooklyn would go wild! Cool pics of the girls running and stretching too. Very cute :)
LOVED the video clip, that was something that just had to be seen on video to see how cute it really was! Love her little run, oh my gosh!
And I can see why Teya was excited about her running clothes, she looks so cute!! She's totally got form on her stretches and her long jump, too. I'm a little sad seeing Teya's beautiful long pony tail though because this morning we cut Makenzie's hair- a LOT. She wanted a bob like mine so I let her. It's really cute, but I just adore long hair on little girls. Oh well, it will grow again. :)
These are priceless pictures- that's a way cool program!
Awesome program!
Brinley looks just like you!
Loving Teya's running attire.
Your girls looked so cute running and stretching, I loved Teya's little warm up suit!
What a neat program! I wish we had something like that available. Looks like perfect running weather, by the way!
WoW! This is AMAZING! I am so impressed with the girls. You and Taber have been great examples- I love how they enjoy the things their mom and dad do - great habits for life! Keep up the great work!
