Boot Camp Participants are always encouraged to bring children to the workout. They participate for free. They don't register or join. They are always our guest. They don't event have to be related. Bring the neighbors kids.
Emi & Michael had their 6 & 8 year olds in the workout on Saturday around Chastain. While the little brother made it, the big brother hammered out 4 miles and 700 repetitions of basic training exercise. Every time we dropped for another 20 push ups, Houston was right there cranking with us.
John & Evan have grown up in the workout. When Evan was 6, we would put him the car while he was still asleep and woke him up right as the workout began. One morning, Prance did an about face and sprinted back down Peachtree when she realized we left him asleep in the car. Oops.
A lot of people think rolling children out of bed at 5:16am and throwing them into a workout is abusive. Other people think that letting their kids sleep until noon, poisoning them with processed food and comatosing them in-front of a screen is abusive.
We have had the pleasure of working with young athletes, runners and regular kids who like exercise. We consider it a privilege to work out with the kids.
