Morning Calisthenics


With soccer season upon us, Alex and Michaela are both serious about exercise and training.  Well, Alex is serious and Michaela just really likes to hang out with her dad and brother.  They set their alarms for 6 am and are eager to train.  So on some of our dwindling warm mornings, you may find the 4 of us in the pool swimming laps at sunrise, before heading off on our daily routines. Sophia chooses to sleep in.

This past weekend Alex had a soccer tournament and he and his dad got up at sunrise to stretch and do some visualization exercises each day before his games.  Saturday morning was a gorgeous foggy still morning and I had to capture a photo of their quiet moment poolside.
Alex and his Dad get into the zone before a soccer game.  That pink lump is Michaela under her fuzzy High School Musical Blanket, getting into her own zone.
All this morning training worked, too!  Alex went on that morning to score 2 goals and lead his team to a 3-1 win.  Michaela's team also won their game 8-1.  There may be something to their early morning preparations!
