When the pandemic first began, they closed down all the local schools and businesses.
I had to work from home. My youngsters had to do their classes over the computer. It was a huge transition for us to navigate. One thing I observed after a few weeks is how the lack of physical activity was impacting the youngsters. They were no longer walking to the bus, or playing games, or having PE class at school. It was showing! I decided that it would benefit the entire family to develop a home workout program of some kind, to get them active. I wanted them to have fun at the same time. Using plywood, ladders, rope, and some equipment from my old home gym, I set up a complicated obstacle course in the backyard. I used to genuinely be into cross fit, but I wanted to apply a lot of those diverse training methods into this obstacle course. The concept was to make it so fun that the kids wouldn’t realize they were doing a cross fit workout program! Cross fit requires several different skills used interchangeably, so running, jumping, climbing, crawling, and several stretches were all used. We incorporated a few different workout program tricks from the show American Ninja Warrior, which the youngsters were big fans of watching. I could never keep up with the kids, who took the obstacle course seriously. We were performing cross fit workouts on a regular basis without any idea of what they were doing. It was fun and good for us.
