Lately the snow has been too high for the wheelbarrow, but I've gotten a $10 plastic saucer sled that's big enough for both kids. I do sprints while pulling that behind, which adds about 80 lbs of resistance in total. They'd be happy to yell at me all day long to drag that thing faster - no concept of a rest interval in their little minds! If you're looking for a wheelbarrow, keep your eyes out on garbage pick-up days. That's where I got my first one (for free) - someone just throwing it out. I used it for a year or so until the axle broke. Got a nice new one from Lowes as a Father's Day present this year. Purrs like a kitten!<br />Nice work with the dogs. I've read that dog owners are on average healthier than non-owners, probably because of reasons like this - they get their owners up and running around.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037316092797576383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-95787764877560023.post-62315145897329176032014-02-08T13:01:50.835-08:002014-02-08T13:01:50.835-08:00I can't think of anyone I know that not only &...I can't think of anyone I know that not only "exercises" regularly, but does so with their kids, turning it into a family event. Kudos to you for using creative fun to sneak in some fitness!! And using work equipment like your wheelbarrow...legendary! If only I had one haha. <br /><br />I'd like to add, that if one has dogs, they can do something similar. We regularly take our dogs to the close by field and I have on occasion chased them around, then gotten them to chase us. Can be a nice impromtu fartlek workout that can be quite effective. Should probably be doing this more, but at least it's another option to get one's but moving!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736225114478302037noreply@blogger.com
