Exercising - Sort Of

Seven-year-old Greyson and ten-year-old Bennett are helping their Marmie.  My wife has a little pedal exerciser that she uses to keep her knees limber.  So the boys have been pedaling to help Marmie exercise.  They just don’t understand that SHE has to do the exercise in order for it to work.  Greyson worked for a half hour and got 1,000 reps.  Bennett figured out that if he just moved the pedal two inches back and forth right where the magnetic counter engages, he can get a whole revolution.  He was able to get Marmie 2,000 reps in about five minutes of “cheating”.  The boys may think that they are helping Marmie exercise, but it’s really their little legs that are getting the exercise.  But, don’t tell them.
