Accountability: taking ownership of what you CAN control
Street Parking Podcast
The focus now is ACCOUNTABILITY. No one is coming to save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility. At SP we believe in controlling what we can control - and we know that we are able to control a lot more than most people want to admit. We know that blaming others, our genetics, or our current circumstances for all of our problems is a waste of time. We seek ways that we can respond to - or improve our situation. Even if those actions are small. Even if it’s just re-framing the way we look at things - until we are better able to take action. On this...

Getting Started with a Fitness and Health Routine For: Pre-K
Street Parking Podcast
A child in the Preschool Youth age range generally has the attention span, physical and cognitive and emotional growth, and motivation developed to start introducing fitness and wellness-specific activities. The Preschool Youth age is when kids start to learn how to take turns… but they generally want to be first and focus mostly on themselves and their little world. As they move through these preschool years, they become more willing and excited to try new tasks, are more motivated by playing with their peers, and begin to notice the world around them. Imitation and copying becomes more...

Picking up where we left off, let’s talk about 3 More Tips for Fitness Freedom and Meeting Your Child Where They Are At:
CUSTOMIZING
Just like ANY other Street Parking workout, customizing and fitness freedom is the name of the game when it comes to approaching kids' workouts. You do not HAVE to do any of the workouts as written, it’s all about making adjustments as needed and simply thinking of it as a template. Don’t be afraid to be creative or allow the kids to come up with ideas — it can help them “buy in” with choices and autonomy!
Ideas for how to customize: adjust the time frame, adjust the rounds, add or reduce seconds of work or rest, run it on an EMOM clock, or switch out a movement that your child WANTS to do to make it fun and motivating. The main purpose is you’re getting them moving, and that itself is a WIN!
When kids are working out with you, you can customize to have your child follow your movements, or change it to a partner-style workout with a friend, peer, adult.
So what about mid-workout customizations? Because let’s be real, this is bound to happen at some point. One of our favorite tips is to use your own watch as a timer instead of a visual timer. Why? Because if you put it on a big timer and then realize your child is NOT having fun and you need or want to adjust, it is easier to say, “1 minute left” regardless of where they are at, allow them to still work hard, but end it before it’s TOO much. It is good to push our children and show them what it looks like to do hard things, but we do not want to decrease their confidence or make them NOT want to workout again.
