When your kids ask to workout with you…

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒What do you do when your kids ask to workout with you?

👍The obvious answer would be, yes, but often it’s not that easy. As busy parents, time is of the essence and for many of us our workout time is the only “me” time we get.

🙋‍♂️So when my son asked me this the other day, I had to stop for a second and remind myself what’s really important? And what did I want to teach in that moment? I was short on time and really just wanted the garage gym to myself.

💪I let him workout with me and I know he enjoyed it and it made an impact on him. It wasn’t the best workout ever and it did take longer. However, as parents, sometimes these are the sacrifices we need to make to be the role model our kids need.

👉Don’t get me wrong. I’m not perfect. I have said no before but I try to keep this in mind when my kids ask to join my world. They want to spend time with us and want to be like us.

👇How do you feel about this? Is your gym time always your time? Or should we make it about the kids and family sometimes? Share in the comments.

I needed to see this. My nephew does the same thing with me. I have to get up an hour earlier than usual because he slows me down but this just gave me the motivation to keep working out with him.
