Pilates and preschoolers

Joel was doing pilates with Caitlin this afternoon. He did over half the workout with her and was sweating so I know he was working hard! It was so cute to see him trying to do the exercises. He was really watching Caitlin close and trying to do it just like she was. He did better than I could I know! Here are four 30 sec. short clips of the two of them during the 20 minute workout. In the last video, watch and listen to what Joel does and says as he gets tired and is ready to go outside! He left to go out and practice his "dribble ding" with Chris who was doing some basketball drills. He has his own size basketball and he's good at it for his age! I'll get pictures of Chris and Joel doing drills on here soon. You have to click on the links below to see the clips. I had to upload the short videos from my cell phone, so making them links is the only way I could get them on here.


1. Leg kicks, hamstring stretches and push up's

2. Tummy exercises! Don't know what Joel is saying in this, but he's cute because he doesn't do the hands and feet at the same time like you are supposed to. He just moves his hands, then wiggles his legs a little! Notice how he keeps his eyes on his sister? He really is trying to do it correctly!

3. Joel is trying to do some side stretches and he's pretty much sitting and moving his arm up and down! Then he gets in Caitlin's way for the next position!

4. Finally, Joel's had enough of the workout and tries to make it a race to the finish, and he's the winner! He says, "I do it real fast"! then, " I win"! and "ha ha ha ha"! and then does a couple more and then "Ok, I'm done"! and he walks off......
