I took the above photo about 5 seconds before I ran and jumped in with my kids.

I absolutely love summer time because of this. Swimming. The water. The sunblock.  LOVE it.

Plus it is my favorite way of getting in some exercise without it feeling like, well, exercise. I have fun with my kids. They love it when I go in the water. They don’t worry about whether or not my abs are perfectly formed, or about my cellulite or if my bathing suit makes me look big.

They just want me in there with them acting like a complete goofball.

And I enjoy it.

Bonus? They take a nap afterwards because swimming wore them out. WIN!

What is your favorite non-traditional workout?
