Sweatin'

Alex loves Gatorade.  I don't love the cost or the fact that if you're not exerting yourself, Gatorade doesn't make much sense to me.  After a hockey practice or game?  Sure.  After school?  Not so much.  We explained to him that he can have it every once in a while, but that the purpose of Gatorade is to replenish your body after exercise.  Guess who wants to exercise with me now?

He is all about the elliptical, and since he's frighteningly close to my height, he can safely use it.  So, last night Travis attached the tablet to it so Alex could watch a show and damned if that kid didn't stay on that machine for a good 20 minutes.  

I was concerned this sudden desire to work out was coming from a driver other than Gatorade, so I asked him why he wants to exercise.  "Uhhh, so I can be in shape and be faster."  Duh, Mom.

The part that really kills me about this?  He has decided calling it an elliptical just won't do.  According to Alex, it's the PedalTron 2000.
