Between cycle requirements, shopping ,and taking the two youngest to the gym it's definitely a sweaty and sore experience. I realized about 30 seconds into weight training that neither of my kids had ANY real knowledge of etiquette in a weight room. Towels in the middle of the floor, not wiping equipment, banging weights....oh, what a teaching opportunity we had! Samuel did say yesterday that he was "pulling Shrek's ears" when I asked him where he disappeared to. I asked him to show me, because I couldn't think of any equipment that looked like that. Turns out that a skiing simulator has handles that-you guessed it- look just like Shrek's ears! I want to go try it at some point, but that may have to wait until my kids can navigate the equipment without getting strange looks from other people.
