This last weekend at Disney was just as great as I hoped it would be; great weather, fun rides and lot's of quality time with my wife and daughter.
At the end of 12 hours, however, you definitely start feeling a little punchy and are looking forward to getting back to your motel to get a good night's sleep.
As fate would have it, my 6 year old daughter, Sonnie, konked out just as the park was closing and the real fun began, as she went from fully functional to 50 lb's of added weight for ol' Dad to lug.
I kid you not when I say that from the time I picked her up and started walking till the time it took to get back to our car, I must've walked a total of a mile and a half, as well as having stood in line holding her waiting for the shuttle for almost a half hour.
You laugh, but I was thankful for all the functional work that I do with my Crossfit training, otherwise that could have been a rough way to end a beautiful weekend.
Speaking of functional training, one of our favorite exercise to curse is the Turkish Get-up, being demonstrated beautifully in the picture by Ceila Perez, my very own mother in law.
It's a tough one, as it requires you to go from a prone position on the floor to a standing position and back down again, all the time holding a heavy weight straight above your head.
As with all these workouts...it's harder, (but also more rewarding) than it looks.
Live With Passion,
