I’m on vacation!!!!!! My kids and I are staying at my parents house – for 3 weeks! They live in the coolest little German town called Gruene, home of Gruene Hall – the oldest dance hall in Texas! It’s really in New Braunfels, which is in between San Antonio and Austin. If you are ever in the area, you need to get here. There are 2 rivers to tube on – we will be doing that! – and a ginormous water park called Schlitterbahn. Yes we will be going there too and yes I spelled it right, even though my computer doesn’t think so. Anyway, spending the summers at this water park has turned us into water park snobs. Seriously, it has 3 different campuses, 2 up hill water slides, a simulated surfing attraction, tube slides, family raft rides, 3 lazy rivers… one with waves, and a LOT more. New Braunfels also has the cutest park where the spring fed river (the Comal) starts and deer all over the place that will eat out of our hands. I love it here. I will share pictures over the next few weeks.

I’m actually calling this a working vacation. I get to meet my friends over at HYPERWEAR in Austin for the first time and I will also be taking a weekend trip to New York… by myself!!!!! in a week for Tye4® Pilates Certification! I’m pumped about that for sure. I’ll be sharing my adventures here on the blog.

Oh yeah, if you get a second, cruise on over to FITMARK and read the lastest post I wrote for them…

SUMMER TIME!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

I’m sure you are making plans for vacation, parties and pool time this summer. In the mist of your planning, why don’t you add in some activities to do with your kids that encourage health?

IDEAS

1. Get your kids involved in making the DIY stuff for your home (cleaners, bug sprays, tooth paste and deodorant to name a few) I will start publishing what we are making in June. My kids are having a blast helping me with this project, and seem to want to use our cleaners more often when they had a part in making them! 🙂 I will take all the help I can get around here. Can I get an AMEN? My son especially loves getting involved when our recipe tells us to mix baking soda and vinegar!

2. Grow something with them. The kids are more open to eating veggies when they’ve been a part of growing them. If you do have a hard time getting your kiddo’s to eat healthy, read this guest blog I wrote for Hyperwear. I tell all about some of my secrets 🙂 Hehe

3. Find ways to workout with them. Bring them along to some PILATES CLASSES this summer, sign up for family PERSONAL TRAINING, or get out in your yard and PLAY!

In this picture, I am doing a workout with my kids using Hyperwear SANDBELLS. They create a GREAT workout and it feels more like playing when using them. And they are SAFE for kids to use!

These videos show a few games I created to play with my kids.

4. One more idea, bring your kids along on a FITNESS VACATION! It’s never to early, or late to develop a love for a healthy lifestyle.

I hope this is the BEST SUMMER EVER filled with adventure, memories, lots of REST & RELAXATION, and HEALTH!!!

Hyperwear SANDBELL® REVIEW

I have recently stumbled upon a new product to add to my workouts:

the SANDBELL

It is made by HYPERWEAR and I LOVE IT!

These sand-filled bags come in all different weights and can be used similar to a kettlebell, dumbbell, or medicine ball. I have to say, however, that the SandBell opens up a new world of exercises that the other equipment just can’t provide.
