These Monsons sure are strong!
Along with Uncle David and Elizabeth, we all participated (in and out) in a family bootcamp hour. Matt and I led the group in a series of exercises with laps around the complex in between (which were .33 miles each)
We did many high knees, butt kicks, grapevines, shuffles, bear walks, crunches, pushups, planks, squats, lunches, dips, jacks, mountain climbers and more. We just kept moving the whole time!
We ended up running a total of about 3 miles in laps too! It was a wonderful morning.
I’m planning to have these two guys for a light lunch to tide me over to the early afternoon reception. I want to be hungry when it’s time to feast!
I got this bar at the veg festival a while ago. Hope it’s good! Also, I don’t like green apples, but that’s all I got.
Goin’ to the chapel!

what a fun way to get a workout in… lol i can’t imagine getting that many participants from my family to agree to do the same form of exercise at once
This cracked me up. I hope the poor gal in flip flops didn’t injure herself!
Oh how I wish I was part of your family so I could do that boot camp!
A family boot-camp hour!? What a fun idea. Though I think my family would give me quite the incredulous look if I suggested this…
What a great workout and I love that you included the whole family too!
What a fun Brady Bunch-style workout
This is so hilarious and awesome! I love that everyone was totally willing and excited to participate. My kind of family!
That is awesome! My family would laugh at me if I suggested a bootcamp. They would probably sit on the porch with their coffee and watch me do it!!
how fun! what a great start the to day together! I love it!
I love those bars! Enjoy the reception.
How fun! Enjoy the wedding!
This looks like so much fun!
I wish my family would want to do that!
That’s such a fun idea! I love that the kids got in on the action too. Enjoy the wedding!
What a fun family activity and great model for the kids.
That’s such a fun way to get in exercise! One of the kids looks like he’s breakdancing.
ha. that looks fabulous. you and your hubs have great form on the squat jumps in that pic! yay pylos!
Great workout for the fam. Maybe we will incorporate this for Friday a.m. after Thanksgiving. I could get everyone to lead a lap and add their own variety to the fun.
Can’t wait to see the wedding cake (my favorite part of a wedding)
Oh my goodness!!! That is so adorable! Way to go fitting in a workout on a busy/eventful day! You guys are such an inspiration to lead healthy lives, love it!
Love it! What a great way for the whole family to participate in a fun, healthy activity! Enjoy the wedding.
Aw that’s great how your family works out together! If you can have so much fun exercising I can only imagine what the wedding celebration will be like
Family boot-camp, I LOVE IT!
how cute is that! looks like such a fun time!
How hilarious — I need to do this with my family next time we are all together!
I’m sure the wedding is beautiful and I can’t wait to see the pics!
I love that you’re all so active together!!
This is awesome!! Seriously, this just shows that exercise is made to be fun! And it can be done anywhere!
I love the idea of family boot camp! So much fun
I LOVE raw revolution bars! The chocolate brownie flavor is awesome.
This is such an incredible way to get kids into healthy living at a young age! Start forming those good habits early on. Looks like y’all had an absolute blast.
Ooooh, I love the Raw Rev. bars!!! Way more than Larabars. I have not seen that kind anywhere though! yummmm
love seeing your fit family – totally the opposite of mine! ha!
That is awesome!! I love my Monday bootcamp classes, I will have to take your idea and try to get my kiddos in a routine.
What a fun workout! You can take a bootcamp anywhere!!!
Oh how fun! Doing group workouts is something I would like to do with my kids someday (whenever I get them!)
What an awesome idea!!!
omg, that looks like soo much fun! there are so many FUN ways to get some exercise in, if we’d only explore our creativity
is your little cousin doing the bootcamp in FLIP FLOPS??? omg, that is hilarious!!!
That is so fun! I’ll have to make up a boot camp the next time we travel!
Looked like lots of fun!
I don’t even know what to think of this lol. The idea of me leading my family in a boot camp is utterly hilarious to me. You guys are definitely an unusual (but cool) family.
How cute! I would rather run 10 miles then do mountain climbers! There is just something about it that makes me angry. Just kidding. Looks like you all had a blast!
I think it’s FANTASTIC that all of you were able to work out & have fun together. Enjoy tonight.
That is so FUN! Working out should never be boring, and you never fail to illustrate that point. Love it!
Have you seen Dan in Real Life? If not you must because you guys have the same family. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do stuff like that (family boot camp) but it would NEVER happen.
Oh heavens, the most athletic thing my family has ever done together is gone for a half hour stroll around the neighbourhood after eating for three hours straight on Christmas Day!
LOVE that you are getting the kids involved and off the couch! good job!
Way to encourage good exercise!
That’s so awesome that you got the whole family to participate in a bootcamp! What a good idea to make exercise into a family activity!
Matt’s got ups! haha Looks like such a fun workout!
Haha, love those flexing pictures! ; )
Aww, that looks so fun! What a great way to get an entire family moving together! You and Matt should share your methods with the school systems, haha.
I don’t like green apples either, btw. I am not a fan of sour fruit. BLEH!
in the last picture of the group, is Andrew showing off his tanlines??? haha go figure! looks like you all had a lot of fun!
