Exercising for Health

Gym Exercises are Great!

Guest written by our friend Trent Horton

I really love the gym. I love all the equipment, and yes, I actually know how to use it all. I can be a spotter if you wish, but I generally prefer to lit my own weights. I've come to love weightlifting class because I actually can lift my own weights without worrying that I'll hit drop one on one of my children when they suddenly come into the room.

I had originally started weightlifting at home, but I prefer to work out at the gym on my way home from work. I'll set my home security alarm system (more info) in the morning and then I'll go to work. After work I'll head to the gym for an hour for my weightlifting class. Then I devote my time ! to my children.

I really enjoy weightlifting and wouldn't want to give it up. Thanks to the great group exercising class, I no longer have to give it up. I have come to learn the many benefits of exercise, and I hope to keep exercising for years on end. It's truly a great feeling to feel fit!

Our Trip to the Lake

Author: Dorsey Velasquez

We decided to take the kids to the lake last weekend. We had a ton of things to take with us on this trip. It felt like it took me forever to get the car loaded up and ready. I was sure it would be worth it. We set the home alarm system with a simple click and got on our way pretty early. We showed up at the lake around 11:00 am. We had plenty of time to spend there doing stuff. We went down to the water and played in the sand for a long time. Our oldest daughter wanted to get right in the water. She went out just to get her feet wet and the little one was following her right away. We all had a great time splashing around and playing for hours. We cooked out hot dogs that evening. It was a fun trip. We plan to take them at least one more time before school starts in August. I plan to take some tubes next time that we can float in on the water. That will be relaxing and just add to our good time. I can't wait to go again in a few weeks.
