I had the opportunity to work out with my Dad yesterday morning and see what he has been up to over the past 6 months. To give you a little background, At the start of the year Mom and Dad committed themselves to an excerize program. I think Lesley had a good part in making that become a reality.
So I don't have all my facts exactly right, but I am pretty close...
- at least 4 days/week
- Starts working out between 6:45-7:00am (wow)
- For about an hour work out
- Showers at the gym then Dad goes straight to work. Mom goes home to shower.
- The warm up alone really gets your heart rate going.
- One free weight exercize my Dad did, was 3 sets of 20 raising the roof with 17.5 lbs per arm. Sure that doesn't sound like a lot of weight but you try it. :-)
- Then a number of other workouts; arms, shoulders, legs, cardio, stairmaster, etc etc
Hats off to you Mom and Dad. You have shown a determination that only few can do. Your efforts will bless you in so many ways, and you family!
We Congratualte you. And the real reason behind this post was to say, Happy Fathers Day.
Soon they will look this youthful again. They are already half way there!
