Every Tuesday and Thursday my dad, aka Grandpa Bruce, and I
come to Strollers in Motion class with my three kids, Blake, Hayley and
Addison. My dad started coming to Strollers
in Motion after I had my 3rd child.
He retired shortly after Addison was born and offered to help me out by
coming to class. I had considered buying
a triple jogger but when he offered to come to class with me, I happily agreed.
He continues to come to class with me
even when my oldest, Blake, is at preschool.
It’s great having each other in class to keep us accountable. We can’t skip because we don’t feel like
exercising that morning because the other person is already at class waiting
for you to get there. I also love having
his support in class to work hard.
Grandpa Bruce is a big kid at heart and will occasionally challenge me
to races when we are sprinting in class or runs past with his kid in the
stroller and teases me that he is faster, which of course prompts the kids in
my stroller to yell, run faster!

My dad’s example of leading a healthy lifestyle is a legacy
my children will always remember. My Dad has always told me that he eats to
live, he doesn’t live to eat. He backs
this up by trying to find ways for us to interact as a family that doesn’t
involve eating. We like to take walks at
Sedgwick County Park, rake leaves in his yard (and then jump in them of
course), go to the Zoo, or go swimming at Rolling Hills. Strollers in Motion is another great way for
us to be active together even though we may be at different fitness levels. I was able to modify and participate
throughout my entire 3rd pregnancy and post-partum. Recently
Grandpa Bruce has had some knee pain but has continued to come to class and
modify (walking instead of running) when necessary.
Grandparents are involved in grandkids lives in many
different ways; my kids’ grandpa comes to
exercise class with us and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Grandpa Bruce joined in on the MommyMovement Fitness Thanksgiving Day Run
