Without discipline, the mind and body grow weak. Plan well. Train well. Live well. Love well.
Make every moment count.

Mark, Jen, and Jonah 2

Jonah had a fever for 3 days. He's finally better but didn't workout today. Jen and I started our new workout program today. Jonah and I have been working out for about 8 weeks - Jen for about 2 - and doing pretty good, but this new program is going to be perfect for our family's life. Stretch for 15 min, workout for 30 min, stretch for 15 min. Our 30 min workout is as follows: Sit-ups, Push-ups, Pull-ups, Air Squats, and then Jump Rope. We do as many rounds as we can with as many reps as we can with the following exception: We don't do so much that we're too sore to workout the next workout day. Our set in stone workout days are Mon/Wed/Fri, 0530-0630. We do this no matter what. Oh, and the first round is always a warm-up round. As time, energy levels, and motivation permit we'll do other exercises (rope climb, handstands, peg board pull ups, dips, etc, etc, in the PM after school/work. We're stoked cause we have a constant -our M/W/F which will keep us at the bare minimum level and it's motivating to think everything else is extra which makes me, at least, want to do more already! I'm learning to bank my motivation and energy so I don't burn out midweek and can still kick butt at my newer job and take good care of home life. Our family has never been more on the same page and psyched all at the same time for the same reasons!
