My New Little Workout Buddy

Since lock down began back in late Feb / early March I have been training at home in my garage gym. Despite sometime lacking motivation I have forced myself to use it 6 times per week and absolutely love it. Having had my birthday during lock down helped as I managed to add to some new equipment with a wall ball and slam ball, plus I built a 24" box jump and a wall for doing hand stand push ups against.

To try and keep to some sort of routine I set my alarm for 6:15 everyday and usually hit the gym around 6:30 for an hour or so. Holly usually wakes up shortly after me and will more often than not head out to the garage (knowing I am there training) and then join me for a workout. She watches what I do and just makes up her own little workout along with a bit of cycling and running thrown in to the mix. 

So who would have thought that despite having two sons, my new home workout buddy has become my 6 year old daughter. Sometimes it can be a bit dangerous in there when I am heavy lifting, but I don't want to discourage her from training. Although she can be a real pain at time as the girl can talk for Britain and just doesn't shut up at times, I can be in the middle of a hard WOD blowing out of my you know what, and she will want to start asking me questions!!!!

She copied this exercise purely from watching me, I didn't show her or tell her what to do.

A bit of bench press. Talk about competitive, she has to do more reps than me.

And even some overhead lifting. Love my little training buddy.
