Monday Ellie and Cory's Rules

Given the events of the past week with our mom crashing big time on her bike, we are implementing some new rules around here.

Rule #1- Mom, until you are completely healed up, the bike bags, booties and stuff stay under lock and paw. Don't even think of taking it out from under me.

Rule #2- Any activity will remain under the strict supervision of either Cory or Ellie.

Rule # 3- Mom, you aren't doing anything until you pass our cat-scan.

Rule #4- All workouts will be led by Cory. Any equipment used must be inspected and sniffed thoroughly.

Rule #5- The only bike mom can use is the bike to nowhere. Mom, we know you entered the Tour de Cure 100 mile bike race to raise money for diabetes in July...just follow our rules and you'll be ok.

Rule #6- The electric heating pad must be shared with Cory and Ellie. Everyone else can buzz off.

Any questions?

Workout Wednesday

During and after exercise, it's important to have a towel handy. A bath always feels good once the work is done.

Workout Wednesday

I need to take time off from campaigning to get back to my day job. Personal training.

One way to get mom working really hard is by using a step. It's really great for jumping on and off. Here I demonstrate how I'm just about ready to jump off. I'll jump back on again...do it over and over again. If you do it often enough, it makes you really hungry.

Now I'll sit back and watch mom do it to make sure she's doing it right. She is watching a crazy dvd that is making her go round in circles...around the step...uh oh...I'm getting dizzy watching...

Stop! There that's better. I recommend skipping the part that makes you go round in circles. Just stay put and do the work! I'll continue to sit back and watch to make sure she got it right.

Meezer Rules -Workout Wednesday

Ellie: Here are some tips to help keep your human in shape and active.

When they are having no fun at all doing boring repetitive exercise indoors, be sure to break it up with actual play time.

I recommend introducing a soccer ball for coordination and good times. Cory: When your mom takes off her socks for yoga...the socks are fair game.

Cory: Yes...mine!

Ellie: During and following exercise, be sure to stay well hydrated. Drink lots of water!

Stay healthy and active!

Meezer Rules -Workout Wednesday

There has been a lot of talk lately about our humans putting themselves on the "to do" list. We take that seriously and my momma and I do our best to be as helpful as possible. So Meezer rule for today is: Make sure your humans take care of themselves. What is it that Jillian on the Biggest Loser says? Unless you hack up a hairball or pass out...keep moving!Both my momma and I share personal training duties for our mom. We're going to share some of our tips for a healthy and fit New Year. Here my momma demonstrates the use of the BOSU for core strength. It helps my momma hold her tail nice and high. She also likes the way the color matches her eyes. This also helps my mom stay nice and strong and balanced.
I always advise the use of light weights while using the BOSU. I also like the way the ends of the weights match my fur. In a pinch, both my momma and I can substitute for an 8 pound weight. We don't mind being bench pressed, but we do appreciate a kiss on the way down. For heavy lifting we recommend Ginger...uh did I say that?
