I've also got my son into it and he thinks it's great fun....until he loses lol. He absolutely LOVES my Nike freeruns!! So I told him he could have a pair if he beats me in the 100m race. He hasn't done it yet but he's pretty quick. He doesn't like losing (I don't think anyone does) so he gets a bit upset afterwards.
I just want him to learn that nothing comes for free in this life. I only got those trainers because I did the Nike 10k run so it was a reward for trying. I also want him to get into his fitness and start thinking like a winner. I think it's important for children to have some sort of athletic ability and just be fit and healthy in general. He plays rugby, tennis, cricket, goes swimming and has just recently gotten into football. I've seen enough obese and unhealthy children suffer because their parents won't bother with healthy eating and fitness. I think that's a bit unfair on the kids really.
Don't get me wrong, my son doesn't do the whole protein shake, anabolic window thing!! But he has a home cooked meal everyday which I try and make as healthy as possible. He's still a growing child and I think he should still indulge a little. He personally prefers water or milk to hydrate so that makes it easier for me. Keep them healthy from the inside out.
DAY 8
So yesterday we did 100m sprints x 6 with about a minutes rest in between. I was looking to beat my time of 26sec. And I did!! My PB is now 19sec so I have to beat that now, oh dear!!!
DAY 9
Today was boot camp and we focused on Abs. Mine are still on fire!! Please see Sunday's workout (day 6) if you want to do abs too.
Stay focused xx
