As a parent, you know that your kids are ALWAYS watching you. Mimicking your every move. So it’s a no brainer that by taking care of yourself, you’re teaching them to take care of themselves.
My kids have grown up watching me run and watching my husband go to the gym. Heck, they know the gym staff as well as some relatives. 🙂
So as I’ve gotten more into training for endurance sports, they’ve seen me strap on my Garmin and I often times find them sneaking into my room to put it on. I know you’re supposed to teach your kids to share but this is one time I don’t want to. 🙂 They are ALWAYS asking for their own. So when Garmin offered to let them try out the new vivofit jr I jumped at the chance!!
E asked for the digi camo and MiniE asked for the Broken Lava.
The vivofit jr tracker is SUPER kid friendly, made of a durable material that both kids seem to like. E has found the timer function and loves to use it to time himself…brushing his teeth, running to the fence and back, just about everything. 🙂
MiniE loves the Butterfly icon and that she has one like her big brother. I love the app. I can manage all the functions and even keep track of their chores
They love these trackers because the finally have one like mama. I love these trackers because it’s just one more way to keep motivated especially during these winter months when it can be more tempting to sit.
Fitness is supposed to be fun and with the Garmin vivofit jr. The kids are having a blast!! We are looking forward to staying active together!
HUGE thanks to Ashley Kuenstler for the pictures!! If you’re in St. Louis and needs some pictures look her up!!
Kids are not nearly as active as they used to be-great idea to get them moving
