Freedom to Love, Laugh, Live & Learn... Together!

Originally posted to the Raw Foods and Sports Nutrition board:

w00t! Richard Blackman and I are gearing up for a F.I.T
training session after Health & Fitness Week, and I'll be using what I learn to
develop a modified game plan for our whole family (the two of us plus nine
kids, ages 2-22!) :D We've invited Richard to present the F.I.T System to our
homeschool network, and hope to get Doug and Rozi Graham (and little Faye)
in on the action, too, as they bounce around ideas for a special Family Fitness
event! Andrew Perlot has also agreed to do a videoconference with our members
to talk about his 811rvmarathon experience. September's shaping up
to be a great month for kicking off the new season!

We're all avid swimmers here at home (popular pastime here in the
subtropics ;-) and play all kinds of ball together (baseball, volleyball,
basketball, tennis, etc.,) enjoy biking, games of chase (including every
version of freezetag imaginable!), and all of our kids have been raised in the
running community. This has been one of our favorite family activities since I
married a distance runner who got his start during the boom (even named
our firstborn, Nike! Short for Nicole ;-) I was an aerobics dance instructor
back then, so toss that into the mix and we've got a pretty nice lineup of
healthy choices for all ages. The Olympics also inspire the kids to make up
special events and host their own Arden Games every other year, complete
with Opening Ceremonies and fake torch ;-) Great fun!

If I could pick one thing that has always presented a challenge to most of us,
it would be the monkey bars, if that's the same term used for the steel ladder
situated high above and parallel to the ground that I could never quite
conquer as a kid! We've got a few monkeys in our midst, but there's
definitely room for improvement! Pull-ups, push-ups, rope and tree-climbing
are some other skills we'd like to master. How 'bout you?

I'd like to hear how other 811rv families play together and collect ideas for
getting the most out of this experience! Let's do it!!

N.B. Check out vids from Doug, Richard, and Andrew featured on the Main Page, and come over to the new F1T Family group here at iLif!!

I have recently taken up quilting but have been crafting and painting for a longtime. Are those the kind of activities that will be shared here? I am currently finishing up a cookbook I have been writing with my family now for 2 years.

It's a place where people can come together and create anything from detailed 3D graphics to crocheted dollies. Or simple Origami to elegant fashion designs. It's also for people to get to know people who are interested in the same type of stuff.
