Cool story I had to share.

Last Wed. in the weight room, I saw some competitiveness. Pretty soon everyone started betting, "A COOKIE"

"If you can lift that 15 times I'll go buy you a cookie!"
Nobody could do what was asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~BRAIN WORKING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday I brought in a pack of Double Stuff Oreo.

We put 135 on the bench bar and here was the deal:
Lift it 10 times....get a cookie.
20....2 cookies
25....3 cookies
30....4 cookies

THEN...the top 5 got an extra cookie and their name on the board.

Kids worked harder than I have ever seen!!!
Guess it was worth the $2.99!!!

Blb's right, food really motivates kids. Personally, I wouldn't do it for a double-stuffed but I'll do damn near anything for fudge covered Oreos.

Just did this with my son last night. We had a contest. I beat him but he did it 30 times.

The motivation for him was free pizza 5$ cesars if he could beat me.
