Debris' workout...

One of the best things about being a girl is the fact that you can be girly (cook, sew, wear pantyhose, have a shoe obsession, whatever) and it's still acceptable for you to do some/most 'boy' things. I very firmly believe that a girl should be able to have tea, and go dirt biking in the same day, and do both very well--remain true to being a girl, I guess. That's why it is great to be a girl. Guys don't have that same capability, as folks generally look a little cross-eyed at boys who might like to sit and have tea while crocheting. I don't, of course, but some might. :-)Anyway, recently Frank Castle got a punching bag. We've all four of us enjoyed it greatly. It is a great workout. (Don't believe me? Even if you are in great shape, I guarantee you'll be begging mercy after hitting that thing for 5 minutes the first time!) It is a great way to work off excess energy, and perhaps an occasional fit of irritation. And, believe it or not, it is so much fun! So, here's Debris' workout with the punching bag.


(Please excuse my fit of neurosis, but I must apologize for the disaster that is my garage. I give up. I can't keep it clean. Ok, I feel better now.)



She's so happy when Daddy's gloves are velcro'd on...







Very quickly she started making up her own workout... beat on the punching bag for a few minutes... kick the medicine ball a few times... run a few quick laps around the workout mats... repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and so on and so forth.



Getting tips from Coach Daddy...



Her coaching team chuckles over something...


That was a tough workout! I think I need to take a shower and have a protein drink!
Here's our little MMA fighter. She's currently approximately 10-0 with the punching bag, but it hasn't hit her in the head yet. That would most likely be a loss by knockout.
Happy Monday!

    In the "I think I need to take a shower and have a protein drink" photo she looks so much like you when you were younger.

  4. Very cute! I've only had about one experience with bean bags, and I have to agree...it looks easy, but it sure ain't (isn't)!
