Zumba not needed...


Who needs ‘Zumba’ when you can pull a ‘sled-a’? 

I am not sure if we are on vacation or a total fitness overhaul.  It is no wonder our hotel doesn’t list any fitness classes, or have big banners pointing to the gym... but did make sure to advertise that they had available massage times throughout the day.  Who would have thought two days of pulling the kids around the Swiss Alps would leave Jason and I feeling more like wet noodles at night than the fun mom and dad.  No wonder all the people flying past us on their cross-country skis are so fit.  Our workout began after one wrong turn which put us smack in the middle of "back" Alps.  We didn't many people walking around these parts, but did see some Longhorns, horses and even watched a new born calf being nudged up to it's feet for the first time by it's momma!  Maybe our legs hurt and we pulled an

extra mile or in the thick snow (while it poured snow all day) but it allowed us some time to admire many of the things we seem to busy to enjoy in our everyday life.   And to think Cooper whined, “my legs hurt!” after his first climb back up the mountain after the sled ride down.

I will take this workout any day over the gym....gorgeous views, fun with family, and only a few times did I take notice of my heart rate speeding along!
