Strong Man.

Today was an awesome day.

We had a peaceful morning schooling.
I got dressed by noon.
My husband shaved.
(nothing like kissing a smooth face)

I also got in a few kettlebell swings.

I’ve been wearing cut off tube socks “gloves” on my hands the last few days.
(I ripped a callous off on Monday. I’m not sure why I forgot to share something so pleasant.)

Today Noah Thing 2 saw my gloves while I was swinging and his eyes lit up as if I was holding an AK47.
“Will you make me some of those?”

Since I do steal his socks to make my “gloves” I had no choice.

As soon as he had them on he informed me he was going out to the garage “to workout”.

First he bounced the stability ball.

(Don’t be jealous of my classy high tech gym)

Then things got serious.

I have no clue where those 5 lb dumbbells came from.

😉

He finished his workout and we exchanged high fives.

Then knuckles.

Mother and son tube sock “gloves”.

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

Awesome. I can see Thing 2 taking it very seriously. Maybe you found a new workout partner.

That is the coolest thing in the world. I love your gym. Old school is better in my humble opinion. <3

Love it. I hope to have a home gym one day … so that my sons can work out with me too. I know they will get that same “buzz” from working out that their daddy and I do!

Awesome post! And great idea on the sock gloves. I am planning to get back to my KB and really explore my options with it, so I will have to keep that in mind!

No need to apologize, my man. If peolpe want it bad enough, they can locate themselves in a place with good all year riding. We moved from Canada to Texas mostly because of the ability to ride year round in a great cycling city.Darryl
