Upside down aerobics

I love when life just erupts with craziness, like the way it did with my girls tonight after the bonfire! Following a serious bonding time, which was very emotional for some, my wonderful, energetic campers were laughing over great memories from our time together. One girl (who is 6'1") was sitting with her feet against one wall of the hallway and her back almost flat against the opposite wall. This led to other girls seeing how short they are in comparison... Somehow this made me think of this weird position that I love to chill in against the wall. Basically, I lay down with my feet up the wall and my bottom against the wall on the floor (sometimes I also lift my bottom off the floor and walk my feet further up the wall in a nice streth). I proceeded to show the girls this, and they joined in. The hardest part for all of us was simply scooting our behinds to the wall!!! :) We invented all sorts of ways to do aerobics in this position:

• swinging our legs to the opposite wall of the hallway, so our legs are horizontal over our heads
• putting one leg on each wall
• switching how we straddle the walls
• lowering our legs down the the floor to make more of a ball shape
• switching legs from touching the opposing wall to being bent at the knee over our bodies

It was such a blast; there was so much laughter! While still on our backs, we named the event Upside-Down Aerobics with Aimee! :)

Then the girls wanted me to teach them how to do proper push-ups. If you know me, you know that this is practically a dream come true for me! It was so much fun: demonstrating, explaining, correcting, and finally teaching all the variations and how to build up the "push-up muscles"!

So... I hope you all are having weird days too, as I obviously am! :D
