Ok. I get it. I see why people use their child's busy after-school activities as an excuse for not making time for their own workouts. (In the immortalized words of Borat: "
NAAT!
")
Yesterday evening I had the awesome opportunity to take my daughter, Chardonae, to the local rec-center swimming pool for her swim test. She was going with her Girl Guide troop and would be in the water for about 90 minutes doing a series of tests with a few life guards. What the heck would I do for the next 90-minutes? I guess I could do what the other parents do, and just sit on a bench and watch the kids splash around... I think not.
I had a quick workout (see below) followed by some foam roller time, then a hot tub, followed up with a nice stretch in the sauna. And I feel great this morning.
I guess there's always time, if you want there to be.
