Kindergartner and fitness, too much ?

So I’ve been trying to get fit lately. I usually fall off and on of my exercise routine but I’ve been really committed to making no excuses to not work anymore for fear of quitting. To keep things fresh, I decided to not go to the gym on Saturdays and instead go hiking. The first hike I took was a hill with some stairs, known locally as the Culver City Stairs (if there are any local SoCal people here) and I saw quite a few people with kids my daughter age (5). I asked her if she wanted to join me the next week and she said yes and was actually very excited about it. When the following weekend came we made it to the top and she was so proud that we decided to make it a weekend thing for us now. During the week, I usually go to the gym when she’s over at her mom’s house and when she’s with me I decided to include her in my fitness routine by jogging to the park and jogging back home (after some play time at the park) which is a total of 2 miles. We also been going to harder and longer trails on our hikes. Her mom and some of my family member brought up concerns that these hikes and runs are too intense for her and that I’m pushing her too hard. But I don’t feel I’m forcing this on her I always ask if she wants to go and she always says yes. Admittedly our first jog to the park was hard for her and we took a few rest stops but as of yesterday she could jog nonstop. I guess I’m worried that maybe I should have her do easier exercise routines at her age. I do want to instill a healthy fitness routine for her because both her mom and I are overweight and diabetic, my daughter on the other hand is not at all overweight and I’ve been quite impressed with her athleticism I remember how hard a mile run was for me at middle school and she’s doing it at a much younger age and seems to be having fun doing it. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xPx0E4
