Today at Curves an alert, shy little boy came in with Grandma who was inquiring about joining. He sat very quietly in his chair and watched us as we marched in place and worked the machines. Tilting his head and watching with bright eyes, you could just see all the thoughts running through his head and the surprise on his face as he gazed upon our gyrations. Then he slipped off his chair and started marching, too! Swinging his arms and just enjoying--the movement, the music, the marching. It hit me, once again, how much children learn by watching. Maybe the children’s obesity problem is one of these learned behaviors and maybe this “watching” could be one of the answers. This little guy could hardly contain himself--he wanted to march some more and he wanted to see how he could work those machines. No matter who we are, we are always setting an example.  This little one, with wonder in his eyes, enjoying the feel of his body working--this is an example to remember and cherish.
