today i put the kids bikes in the van and took us all to the town park.

i wanted to walk.

i got to walk 1/2 a mile, maybe a little more, behind them. but Little is so slow and whiney up the SLIGHT hills that we never got up a good pace. he rode a 1/2 mile, and whined he was tired. Big rode a little bit more, but no 3/4 and had the same complaint. apparently my boys need to work out more even more than i do -- i was let down, i thought hauling the bikes to the park would last longer and they';d really go and go and wear themselves down and get spend some time at it, no so much.

i never thought about my 4 and 6 yo needed to push themselves more, they watch TV but not all day and they have viedo gasmes but not even ever day (car seat and waiting room mostly). the play a lot -- but i am realizing they do not run and run and so on -- they build, they pile rocks, they dig, they stack .... so for the love of pete i have to start making my boys exerzie *eye roll* i thought i could trust a non couch patoto 6 (and 4) year old to stay in shape alone. geez add one more thing to my list .....

Big take Little Ninjias once a week, and while it is good at body control, it is not physically taxing.

how do i get them to push themselves more -- i do not want this out of shape trend to continue.
