I just got back from my nephew’s 9th birthday party at Pump It Up.  What a blast!  I had a great time playing with my 3 boys, my nephews and niece,  some kids I had coached in soccer and a bunch of kids I had never seen before!

I have to say it again.  I really enjoy kids and since I’ve managed to keep myself in great shape over the years I have the energy to go all out and have a great time with them.

It made me realize just how important it is to stay in shape and to maintain a healthy lifestyle in your adult years.  I contribute my good health to my exercise program and to healthy eating habits.  To see my exercise program of choice click here.

I had an absolute blast playing with the kids and in addition to being great exercise for me it really means a lot to them when an adult takes time to play with them.  It makes them feel special and will really help them in the long run.

Also when they talk to you stop and look them right in the eye and listen to them attentively.   There is no better way to make a difference in the future than to give your time to a child today.
