Fred and I have affectionately coined a new name for burpees - we're now calling them barfees because they make us want to barf while we're doing them (or maybe even at the thought of them!). My husband remembers doing them in school, they've been around a while but I don't remember them being called burpees. It's the thing where you squat down, hands on the floor, kick your legs back into push-up position, jump back to squat and then jump up in the air!

The adult generation right now is in such bad shape with exercise and eating habits I really fear for this next generation. We have to get with it if we want these kids to have a chance! <BR/><BR/>I hate BARFEES too!!!Kelley Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109340030163155039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590492772756118469.post-25472664915199683592009-04-09T16:26:00.000-05:002009-04-09T16:26:00.000-05:00Terrific post Kelley, as usual!...Something every ...Terrific post Kelley, as usual!...Something every parent who reads this should think about...<BR/><BR/>(I have to agree with Smoke on this one)<BR/><BR/>Here's my 4 cents: childhood obesity is a problem in this country, that's a known, documented fact. Blame it on whatever you like: propensity of taking kids to fast food joints (yuck), letting kids eat junk food and drink endless amount of soda, poor nutrition in general, no gym class in schools, not getting outside to play, Xbox, PS2, Nintendo, PC/Mac video games, endless TV, etc, etc, etc.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of the reason, hiring a personal trainer for an 8 year old is not the answer, IMHO. Bikes rides, hikes, walks, playing some kind of sport (soccer, shooting hoops, even throwing a Frisbee)any kind of outside activity to get kids moving and maybe even enjoying being with their parent(s) is better than doing the gym route, again IMHO. For Mom, it's a different story: join a gym or workout at home, use a trainer if necessary, get yourself moving in the right direction and be a positive example to her kid(s). That's all of our responsibility as parents. Comes with the territory, whether we like it or not. That means setting limits no matter how 'difficult' it is...<BR/><BR/>[I'm sure the Mom's intentions were good and for that, kudos to her for as you say " making the effort to seek some real help"...Easy for me to be critical, since I don't know her situation...and if I'm off base, "mea culpa".]<BR/><BR/>-Fred<BR/><BR/>PS: Even though 'Coach Mike' has been bustin' my chops (among other parts) about wimping out on a certain bodyweight exercise, let me say for record once again: I HATE BARFEES!"<BR/><BR/>;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590492772756118469.post-28583286093734149442009-04-09T13:36:00.000-05:002009-04-09T13:36:00.000-05:00Hey there! You made some excellent points and I to...Hey there! You made some excellent points and I totally agree with them. This child will be on a very frustrating cycle if they don't get the nutrition under control first and foremost (that includes Mom) and I cringe at the thought of a child "dieting", which is what will happen if they don't get the right help. Not to mention that if I see this child walking slowly on the treadmill with a headset on I'm going to start screaming and rip the cord right out of the wall! <BR/><BR/>My hams are taking all this a little better (by week 3!) but my quads are barking. I'm loving and getting much better at the bodyweight circuits and I'm on for kettlebell swings for my interval tonight (at home)!Kelley Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109340030163155039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590492772756118469.post-35597089643476584272009-04-09T13:21:00.000-05:002009-04-09T13:21:00.000-05:00Kelley, I could post an entire blog entry based so...Kelley, I could post an entire blog entry based soley on this. Arrrgggghhhh!<BR/><BR/>If the child doesn't have a medical problem, then the mother is the physical problem. <BR/><BR/>But......<BR/><BR/>The solution for the child's weight/excessive fat is not in hiring a trainer. WTF? (sorry 'bout the expletive..could not help it). Mom's overweight, daughter's overweight, and I be the dog is too, where's Fido? Exercise is great, but when you resort to using a trainer for a child, you have got to be an idiot. <BR/><BR/>Consulting with a nutrition expert?
