What if your workouts could strengthen not only your body but also your bond with your kids? In this episode of The Rucker’s Edge, we explore the powerful impact of exercising with your kids; from building their confidence and resilience to creating lifelong family traditions around movement.

I share personal stories of nightly family walks, lessons from parenting in real time, and how kids naturally absorb the habits and values we model for them. You’ll hear how simple activities like rucking, hiking, or bike rides can teach discipline, grit, and curiosity all while enjoying more quality time with their children.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.259
If they see us being active, consistent, and

00:00:03.259 --> 00:00:06.500
enjoying movement, it sets a standard for what's

00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:09.699
normal in life. When they see us work hard, stay

00:00:09.699 --> 00:00:12.279
consistent, and make health a priority, they

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:21.219
learn those values as well. Welcome to the Rucker's

00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:23.559
Edge podcast, a show all about rucking that is

00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.399
designed to help you develop a rucking routine,

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.559
lose weight, and ultimately gain your strength

00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:30.320
and energy back. Whether you're an office worker

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.299
with lower back pain, a fitness first -timer,

00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:34.439
or a new parent trying to get back to pre -kids

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.219
weight, this is the show for you. I'm your host,

00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:38.740
Spencer, and thanks for tuning in today because

00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:42.079
today we're diving into something that goes beyond

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.280
miles, weight, and pace. We're talking about

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.179
exercising with our kids and why it's important.

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.320
One of our biggest jobs as parents is to be leaders

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.270
for our children. One of the clearest ways to

00:00:55.270 --> 00:00:57.950
lead is through action, and our kids are always

00:00:57.950 --> 00:01:01.289
watching and listening to us. They pick up on

00:01:01.289 --> 00:01:04.829
our speech patterns, mannerisms, and habits,

00:01:04.989 --> 00:01:07.549
whether they are good or bad, unfortunately.

00:01:08.629 --> 00:01:11.030
It's so important to set good examples for them

00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:13.430
because this is how they learn and grow into

00:01:13.430 --> 00:01:15.730
the person that they will eventually become.

00:01:17.069 --> 00:01:20.870
I have a couple of children myself. If you have

00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:23.170
kids, you can probably relate to this, but preparing

00:01:23.170 --> 00:01:26.049
to be a parent, you read about what to expect

00:01:26.049 --> 00:01:28.950
or how to be a good parent. You even receive

00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:33.650
advice, solicited or unsolicited, about how to

00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:36.950
parent or what to expect. But for me, lessons

00:01:36.950 --> 00:01:39.469
I've learned through parenthood have been by

00:01:39.469 --> 00:01:43.430
going through it in the moment. I was always

00:01:43.430 --> 00:01:46.989
told and read that your kids are always watching.

00:01:47.950 --> 00:01:50.909
So be the leader you would want if you were in

00:01:50.909 --> 00:01:55.189
their shoes. So that's a fundamental way of how

00:01:55.189 --> 00:02:00.109
I parent. The moment I realized that this parenting

00:02:00.109 --> 00:02:03.450
method was influencing my kid and molding them

00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:07.230
into their own person came when my oldest started

00:02:07.230 --> 00:02:10.930
saying complete sentences. Our family typically

00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:13.969
goes on a routine family walk around the block

00:02:13.969 --> 00:02:16.629
after we eat dinner. It helps with our digestion,

00:02:16.710 --> 00:02:18.610
and it's a good way to get out any remaining

00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:22.449
energy before starting our bedtime routine. Also,

00:02:22.530 --> 00:02:24.349
we just really enjoy saying hi to our neighbors

00:02:24.349 --> 00:02:27.330
and catching up. One fall evening, we came up

00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:29.050
to the corner house where the neighbor is almost

00:02:29.050 --> 00:02:32.210
always outside. He's either doing yard work or

00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:35.069
messing with his truck or sitting on a swing.

00:02:36.110 --> 00:02:38.189
This was right about the time my daughter started

00:02:38.189 --> 00:02:42.060
saying, Complete sentences. We passed the neighbor

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:44.360
before my wife or I could even say anything.

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.740
Our kid was like, hey, how's it going? We hadn't

00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:50.780
taught her this skill at all. She just picked

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:53.699
up on it on her own after the multiple times

00:02:53.699 --> 00:02:56.240
that we had made the block and said hey to this

00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.560
neighbor. That moment flipped a switch in my

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.039
head. I realized all the things we were doing

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.219
to show her how to be independent, manage her

00:03:05.219 --> 00:03:08.120
emotions, do things, etc. It was all working.

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.759
We were in fact on track to raising the kid that

00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.280
we were hoping we were going to raise. I also

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.479
realized that if she learned how to address familiar

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.539
people without explicitly being taught, she's

00:03:19.539 --> 00:03:22.360
indirectly learning other things and is capable

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.379
of building habits like eating healthy and being

00:03:26.379 --> 00:03:30.479
physically active as well. So let's talk about

00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.500
why exercising with kids matters. And we're going

00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:37.780
to talk about the benefits for kids and the benefits

00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:43.939
for us as parents. We'll start with the benefits

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:48.699
for our kids, and I have five of them. The first

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:53.199
one is we are role modeling healthy habits that

00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.340
they will hopefully pick up. If they see us being

00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:01.000
active, consistent, and enjoying movement, it

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.500
sets a standard for what's normal in life. When

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:06.740
they see us work hard, stay consistent, and make

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:09.800
health a priority, they learn those values as

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.580
well. And it's kind of fun to see my oldest child

00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:17.660
be the one to suggest that we go on our family

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:22.040
walk that evening. It's feedback telling us that

00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.519
our daily walking is already part of her routine,

00:04:25.699 --> 00:04:28.819
and she's building it into her life already.

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.819
The second benefit for children is it teaches

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:35.589
them discipline, grit, and resilience. Exercise

00:04:35.589 --> 00:04:39.569
gives kids chances to experience challenges safely.

00:04:39.810 --> 00:04:43.329
We'll say that five times fast. We're there to

00:04:43.329 --> 00:04:46.189
guide them through the challenge if they start

00:04:46.189 --> 00:04:48.750
to waver. And when the activity gets hard and

00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:51.449
they start to get uncomfortable, and maybe even

00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:53.730
the thought of quitting creeps in, we're there

00:04:53.730 --> 00:04:56.269
to encourage them and complete the challenge.

00:04:57.529 --> 00:05:00.069
They learned that being uncomfortable doesn't

00:05:00.069 --> 00:05:03.839
mean quitting. It means pushing through and persevering.

00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:08.279
And lastly on this, discipline, grit, and resilience.

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:12.000
These are all life lessons disguised as a fun

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.319
workout. Benefit number three for kids is it

00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.519
builds confidence and self -belief. Every time

00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.439
a child finishes a challenging physical activity,

00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:25.480
it reinforces the idea that I can do hard things.

00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.079
The words we use matter, too, when we speak to

00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.930
them. When we say, you are strong. capable, and

00:05:31.930 --> 00:05:34.370
I believe in you, that becomes their inner voice.

00:05:35.350 --> 00:05:38.170
Another way I encourage self -confidence outside

00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:41.189
of exercising with them is by telling their mom

00:05:41.189 --> 00:05:43.730
or someone else that they respect that they accomplished

00:05:43.730 --> 00:05:46.509
the hard thing. You can almost see a twinkle

00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:48.930
in their eye as they get proud of themselves.

00:05:50.310 --> 00:05:52.730
Okay, benefit number four. It provides moments

00:05:52.730 --> 00:05:56.449
of practical learning. Exercise naturally teaches

00:05:56.449 --> 00:05:59.370
math, you know, counting steps, tracking distance,

00:05:59.670 --> 00:06:03.319
timing. It also teaches science, physiology,

00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:06.279
anatomy, nutrition. It supplements what they're

00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.879
learning in school. An example of this is using

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.120
pacing during a ruck. You can turn that into

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.839
a fun game of problem solving. And the fifth

00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.680
benefit for kids is it encourages outdoor exploration

00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.899
and curiosity. This is my absolute favorite.

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:24.220
Time outside introduces them to nature, bugs,

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.920
animals, trails, even weather changes. It builds

00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.019
appreciation and respect for the outdoors. As

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:33.199
an added bonus, it reduces screen time without

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.399
a fight. Okay, so those were the benefits for

00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.579
kids, but what about the benefits for us as the

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:41.980
parents? I have three benefits for parents here.

00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.100
The first one is it's more quality time with

00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:47.740
our kids. I don't know about you, but the moment

00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:50.620
our first kid was born, it felt like time started

00:06:50.620 --> 00:06:53.480
to speed up. Months are feeling more like weeks,

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.779
and years more like months now. It's so cliche,

00:06:57.860 --> 00:07:01.230
but yeah, the kids are growing up so fast. These

00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:03.629
workouts can double as bonding time. You can

00:07:03.629 --> 00:07:05.730
have conversations during this shared activity,

00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:09.290
and conversations during this exercise, like

00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:11.889
rucking or hiking, are different than conversations

00:07:11.889 --> 00:07:15.250
that happen at the dinner table. I find that

00:07:15.250 --> 00:07:17.930
kids are more likely to open up about things

00:07:17.930 --> 00:07:20.750
while doing a shared activity, like hiking or

00:07:20.750 --> 00:07:23.490
even doing a puzzle, something that's not physically

00:07:23.490 --> 00:07:27.069
active. But especially during an activity involving

00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:31.160
movement. It seems to lower their defenses and

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:36.079
makes them more likely to open up. Also, I feel

00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.279
like it builds an emotional closeness. I don't

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.480
know. I love having conversations with the kids

00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.980
while we're outside walking or playing on the

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:46.040
playground or hanging out in the backyard on

00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.060
the swing. And during these moments, we're creating

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:51.860
memories together. These moments will stick with

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:55.199
you in them. Exercising together is way more

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.790
meaningful than another night watching TV. Okay,

00:07:59.850 --> 00:08:02.769
the second benefit for parents is kids can motivate

00:08:02.769 --> 00:08:05.170
us too. So there's some mutual accountability.

00:08:06.009 --> 00:08:08.310
Sometimes our kids are the ones getting us out

00:08:08.310 --> 00:08:10.170
the door for our nightly walks, like I mentioned

00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:14.730
before. And sometimes it's while we're in the

00:08:14.730 --> 00:08:18.029
middle of eating. I'll have half a plate of food

00:08:18.029 --> 00:08:20.589
left and find myself scarfing down the rest so

00:08:20.589 --> 00:08:24.509
that she can go outside and enjoy her walk. That

00:08:24.509 --> 00:08:26.990
shared accountability keeps both sides consistent.

00:08:27.449 --> 00:08:32.350
Kids and us as their parents. And finally, the

00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:35.730
third benefit for us parents is it's helping

00:08:35.730 --> 00:08:39.409
to build our legacy. And our legacy includes

00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:42.250
what values do we want them to remember us for?

00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:46.350
What traditions do we want them to carry on with

00:08:46.350 --> 00:08:50.769
their own kids? Exercise as a family can become

00:08:50.769 --> 00:08:53.190
a generational tradition, something your kids

00:08:53.190 --> 00:08:56.700
might one day pass down. and it creates stories

00:08:56.700 --> 00:09:00.059
that they can tell their kids about you. When

00:09:00.059 --> 00:09:01.980
your kids look back, they'll remember the moments

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:04.799
you moved together, the lessons and grit and

00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.460
the belief you had in them. At least that's some

00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:11.139
of my fondest moments with my dad when I was

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:13.779
a kid. I used to ride my bike with my dad on

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:16.379
his daily run. It was a great time to talk about

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.039
things I was struggling with at school. We explored

00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.220
nature together, had my first interaction with

00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:25.299
roadkill on those runs. They're core memories.

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.019
One of my favorites was learning that there's

00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:31.059
no such thing as a gummit. I'm not sure if this

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:32.919
is a Southern thing, but if your family says

00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:38.659
dead gummit as an alternative to profanity. I

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:40.659
remember on one of my runs, I asked my dad what

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:42.379
a gummit was and he laughed. I couldn't understand

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:44.480
why he was laughing, but he was laughing because

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.960
it's just an expression. There's no such thing

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.220
as a gummit. But I think my favorite core memory

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:54.289
from those runs was... the encounter we had with

00:09:54.289 --> 00:09:56.909
a bobcat. As I mentioned, I would ride my bike

00:09:56.909 --> 00:09:58.909
alongside my dad or in front of my dad or behind

00:09:58.909 --> 00:10:02.129
my dad while he was running. And typically, I

00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:03.730
would ride out in front of my dad, not getting

00:10:03.730 --> 00:10:05.710
too far, just far enough that we could continue

00:10:05.710 --> 00:10:08.649
a conversation. But on this one day, I remember

00:10:08.649 --> 00:10:10.789
trying to go as fast as I could around this one

00:10:10.789 --> 00:10:13.610
corner. And when I came out the corner, I looked

00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:17.470
up and saw a large cat laying on a culvert near

00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:19.549
the edge of the bayou at the entrance of our

00:10:19.549 --> 00:10:22.200
subdivision. At first I thought I was just a

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.559
big house cat, but the longer I looked at it,

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.860
the more I recognized that it was way too big

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:29.580
to be a house cat. And then I saw his tail and

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:31.539
I was like, oh, maybe he got hit by a car or

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:33.720
something. So I waited for my dad to catch up

00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.519
and I asked him about it. In that time waiting

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.940
for my dad to catch up, I wasn't sure if we needed

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:41.620
to avoid it. Do we turn around? Do we get away?

00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.340
Do we just keep going? Do we call somebody? All

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:47.360
these thoughts were going through my head. And

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.860
when my dad caught up, I asked him. What is that

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:52.379
thing? What do we do? Without breaking stride,

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:54.879
he said, oh, yeah, that's just a bobcat and just

00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.360
kept running. And I was still standing still

00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.379
with my bike by my side. I stood there holding

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:01.159
my bike, looking at it, and it was staring back

00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.620
at me. My dad continued to get further and further

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:06.159
away from me, and I thought, you know, maybe

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.059
it's time for me to go catch back up with him

00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:11.379
again. But I wouldn't have had that experience

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:14.440
if I wasn't out there on my bike with my dad.

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:16.960
I'm really glad that I went with him that day

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.379
because... To this day, that has been the only

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:22.980
bobcat I have ever seen in the wild. And I will

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:24.679
never forget that moment and sharing it with

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:29.919
my dad. All right, I want to take a quick break

00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.080
before providing some practical ways to start

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.559
exercising with your kids to say thanks for listening

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.120
to the podcast and to ask you to please consider

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.000
sharing this episode with a friend that could

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.480
benefit from this information. Sharing this episode

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.019
would help the show grow and help more people

00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:46.889
develop and improve their wrecking goals. Okay,

00:11:46.950 --> 00:11:50.669
back to it. Alright, so we went over the benefits

00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:53.269
for both our kids and us for exercising together.

00:11:53.370 --> 00:11:55.129
Let's go over the practical ways that we can

00:11:55.129 --> 00:11:58.009
exercise with our kids. And they're simple approaches.

00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:00.950
And before we get into it, I just want to say,

00:12:01.049 --> 00:12:04.029
start small. It doesn't have to be big. It doesn't

00:12:04.029 --> 00:12:07.629
have to be long. Just getting any moments with

00:12:07.629 --> 00:12:10.750
our kids and any sort of physical activity is

00:12:10.750 --> 00:12:14.529
going to be good. Okay, so here are some simple

00:12:14.529 --> 00:12:17.320
approaches. Like I mentioned before, we go on

00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.519
our nightly family walks. We love it. It's an

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.659
excellent way to get even young children involved.

00:12:22.659 --> 00:12:24.399
And it's time to chill out at the end of the

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.820
day. Another good one, weekend or weekday afternoon

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:30.919
hikes in local trails and parks. Excellent way

00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.179
to get out in nature. Find some new animals.

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:36.449
Teach your kids what those animals are. Almost

00:12:36.449 --> 00:12:38.950
guaranteed core memories. Anytime you learn something,

00:12:39.090 --> 00:12:41.210
or at least in my experience, anytime I've learned

00:12:41.210 --> 00:12:43.490
something for the first time or experienced something

00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:45.289
for the first time, I will always remember it.

00:12:45.590 --> 00:12:48.009
Another simple approach is incorporating rucking.

00:12:48.769 --> 00:12:51.409
The kids can walk alongside you or they can ride

00:12:51.409 --> 00:12:54.470
a bike while you ruck. And then lastly, something

00:12:54.470 --> 00:12:56.769
that I've been doing is using child carriers

00:12:56.769 --> 00:12:59.909
for infants and toddlers. I have a recommended

00:12:59.909 --> 00:13:02.549
pack that I use, or recommended child carrier

00:13:02.549 --> 00:13:06.889
that I use. It's the Thule. sapling. It has a

00:13:06.889 --> 00:13:09.070
shade, so it protects your kid from the sun.

00:13:10.029 --> 00:13:13.049
We'll go out on rucks. We'll hit a local trail,

00:13:13.149 --> 00:13:15.929
and it's a blast. I have fun. Our kid has fun.

00:13:16.129 --> 00:13:20.350
It's created a lot of fun memories. We turn it

00:13:20.350 --> 00:13:22.750
into sort of games. We'll collect flowers and

00:13:22.750 --> 00:13:26.049
leaves along the way to teach my kid about the

00:13:26.049 --> 00:13:30.350
local wildlife, trees, flowers, animals. And

00:13:30.350 --> 00:13:32.450
I think our favorite game to play is how many

00:13:32.450 --> 00:13:35.250
colors can we collect? We'll collect. all kinds

00:13:35.250 --> 00:13:38.090
of things out there like pink flowers from crape

00:13:38.090 --> 00:13:40.230
myrtles or purple flowers from crape myrtles,

00:13:40.330 --> 00:13:44.210
green grasses and leaves, brown leaves. I don't

00:13:44.210 --> 00:13:47.610
know. It's just been fun. Here are some tips

00:13:47.610 --> 00:13:50.070
and cautions though. First thing is keep it fun.

00:13:50.169 --> 00:13:52.970
This isn't training for them. It's about joy,

00:13:53.129 --> 00:13:55.840
bonding, and movement. Have fun with it. The

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:57.899
other tip and caution I'll give you is respect

00:13:57.899 --> 00:14:00.259
their limits, their attention span, and their

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:03.179
endurance. Be safe about it. Be mindful of the

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:06.360
heat, sun exposure, and definitely monitor the

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.740
hydration. All right, well, that's a wrap for

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:11.639
today's episode. Here's a challenge for you.

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.379
Schedule just one family rec or walk this week

00:14:15.379 --> 00:14:18.500
and make a memory with your kids. I'm planning

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.500
one right now for this Saturday morning. We're

00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:22.120
going to take the kids to the park and feed some

00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.929
ducks after a nice long walk. In next week's

00:14:24.929 --> 00:14:26.289
episode, we're going to do things a little bit

00:14:26.289 --> 00:14:28.110
differently. We're going to be introducing an

00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:31.070
interview format to the podcast. And Chris Hayes,

00:14:31.090 --> 00:14:33.549
the developer of the Rockwell app, is going to

00:14:33.549 --> 00:14:35.389
be our first guest. Really excited about it.

00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:37.590
We had a great conversation. I think you're going

00:14:37.590 --> 00:14:40.029
to really enjoy it. In the meantime, if you haven't

00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:41.889
