When I was a young Fitness & Spice girl I would run the neighborhood until the streetlights came on.

My days were full of jump roping, roller skating, hula hooping, swimming, bike riding, and hide and seek. In other words, my days were full of exercise even though I didn’t think of it as working out, I thought of it as playing out.

And while I was out on the playground, I’m sure I wasn’t rambling on about how guilty I felt for eating an extra serving of  peanut butter or telling my BFF Frankie how much I was craving carbs. And I can guarantee you I was not worrying about fitting into my skinny jeans.

Oh, to be a kid again!

Speaking of kids, the Miz and the Mrs asked their readers to see what kids today think about when they hear the words exercise, strength, and support. Here’s what Vince and Ruby had to say when their mom asked them for their definitions:

Vince and Ruby swim, dance, play baseball, and apparently engage in a little pillow fighting! And, as you can clearly tell in this video, they watch every healthy move their parents make. They are so blessed to have such loving examples.

Kids can teach us big kids so many things about healthy living, like it’s never wrong to EAT, PLAY, LOVE!

So let’s take a time out right now and apply what we’ve learned. Get on your feet, grab your tu-tu’s and get ready to dance your jitterbug off…

Now I really must go, my inner child just called and said she would love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before we go out and PLAY!
