Tomorrow is my daughter’s birthday. It’s also the second anniversary of her receiving the ultimate gift of life- a heart transplant. She was born with half of a heart, condition called HLHS, which required several open heart & catheter surgeries to try to rewire the right ventricle to do its job plus the job of the left ventricle (the main pump for the body). There’s good videos out there if interested. Children’s Hospital of Cincinnati and Boston had some great resources years ago when she was first diagnosed with it if you’re interested in perusing further, but I wanted to keep this short.
So this is a little workout I made a couple of years ago and do annually- to celebrate her birthday, her heartiversary, and remember her donor. We also will be releasing butterflies as well as a symbol of love and respect for the donor and their family making that difficult decision of organ donation during their time of grief and loss.
If you’re not an organ donor, please consider it. Give the gift of life. Give blood. Support your local children’s hospitals.
And if you need a workout, try to complete this one in under 20 minutes as written.
@liftslikealady since it was a wod and I’ve been inactive during the holidays, I’m just giving you a ping to get back on your radar, friend! Hope the holidays treated you and your family well. If you like either of the wods I posted this week, let me know if you do them
This sounds good to me. I will check them out. I am trying to stay active. I have 2 different challenges I am in. O e is with my family. And the other is at the gym. It will help ke focus on shedding the 10lbs I put on over the last two years of shutdown/lockdown.
Kettlebells are her favorite? ♥️♥️❤❤ That is so sweet. I love all the symbolism younhave in this wod. It is doable and also meaningful. That is the best!
Yes, kettlebells for whatever reason lol. My oldest son likes rope climbs. My youngest loves a circuit- turn on the fan, turn on the music, turn on the timer, and then power snatch, kbs, air squats, push-ups, v-ups, burpees, and shuttle runs. He’s wild but loves this routine
I love this. I need to get my kids doing this more often.
