People are taking notice of the example that you have been setting with your new, healthy, balanced lifestyle approach to fitness. You are helping spread Fat Loss Quickie Fever around the world. Your fellow work-at-home-moms and dads have been inspired by your actions and are getting up off of their “Computer Butts” and making home office fitness a priority in their lives.

But that’s not all who’s taking notice. Your family… the people who you are busting your butt off for, in order to create freedom and fun in their lives, are also taking notice. You are an absolutely incredible role model for your children. They’re watching your every move and taking notes.

Here’s one example of one of our Fat Loss Quickie members who has made a positive impact on her young Children…

Work-At-Home-Mom Role Model

That’s Arika Lewis’ two beautiful young children. They’ve been watching her do her quickie home office workouts and they are now active participants.

I’m proud of Arika and every other work-at-home-mom and dad who is setting a healthy example for their children. If more parents were setting an example like this, we wouldn’t be faced with an obesity epidemic.

Think of all the reasons why you started your home business. Freedom and more time with your family is probably at the top of your list. But if you are at the computer all day and neglecting your health, that’s not going to create the freedom that you and your family deserves.

You are a role model for your kids. Your actions influence their behaviors. I know that you want to give your kids every advantage possible. The best advantage that you can give them is a healthy active lifestyle.

Your kids want you around for a long time and they want the healthiest best possible YOU to be in their lives for a very long time. They deserve that. They deserve a parent that will enjoy a great quality of life right up to the end.

It makes my day when we are visiting a friend or family member and my kids reach for an apple instead of the cookies. It makes my day when for no reason at all my kids bust out some burpees or jumping jacks and encourage everyone around them to get involved.

If you have been watching my videos for a while I’m sure that you have witnessed my kids joining in on the fitness fun dozens of times. Every time that they see Angie and I working out they want to get involved. They see the fun that we are having and it’s just so much a part of our routine that they believe that’s the normal thing to do (workout frequently).

It’s not just our toddlers that are being influenced. I’ve been hearing from many of the Fat Loss Quickie members who have their teens joining them in their workouts. These teens will be entering the work force in just a few years. The example that you are showing them is that quick home office workouts are a great way to boost your productivity, help you gain focus, improve your quality of work and time management, and boost your energy and health.

As a role model you are demonstrating that spending long hours at your desk is not necessarily the best way to get more done. You are demonstrating that breaking your day into chunks and filling a couple of those 10 minute time slots with physical activity will actually help you get more done in less time so you can enjoy life to the fullest and spend more quality time with your family.

Your task for the day… Show off your new healthy lifestyle to your family. Encourage them to participate. Let them know why home office fitness is so important to you.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for having a positive impact on the health of our youth as well as our fellow work-at-home-moms and dads.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,

There are many benefits to working out in the comfort of your own home. It doesn’t matter if you are wearing make-up or not, you can do it in your pj’s if you want, there’s no traffic to battle, and you can get it done quickly so you can get back to blogging and tweeting

The only possible downside would be interruptions from young children that are home with you during the day. But is that really a downside and a reason to put off a workout? I certainly don’t think so, and in fact we welcome the interruptions. You’ll see this in the workout videos below.

I encourage our kids to hang out with us during our workouts. They end up mimicking our movements and they think it’s a complete riot. We are positive role models for our children and if we get upset with them for interrupting us during our workouts it may leave a negative impression with them when it comes to fitness.

I refuse to paint a perfect scenario during my workout videos simply because that is not the reality that most of us face. In my videos you are pretty much guaranteed to see at least one of my kids jump into the scene and you’ll probably see my cat around my feet as well.

I’m pulling out the archives to share some videos that will help you get in shape, but also to show some funny moments when my kids pop in the scene. I love the last video when my daughter brings me water in her plastic tea cup set

Improve Balance and Core Strength

Leg Workout To Sculpt Your Thighs and Butt

Is Chocolate Good For Your Health?

This video was a lot of fun and very spontaneous. Easter morning we just had a light bulb moment to shoot this video…

Shoulders and Abs Workout

This video totally cracks me up every time. Not only does my daughter Noelle bring me water in her plastic tea cup, but she pulls up a ball and starts doing the same exercise as I am. Then at the end of the video she busts out doing some burpees. I didn’t do any burpees during the workout so it just goes to show that she learned through observing Angie and I workout all the other times.

I want to take this time to thank all moms and parents for making their health their #1 priority and being positive role models for your children and everyone else. I’m on a mission to reverse the obesity trend and I appreciate all that you do to contribute to this cause.

Your Dream Body Awaits You…
