Wife is obsessed with working out

Sometimes she will come back and insist on taking our son swimming in the community pool. We live in a warm climate so we can swim the majority of the year. Some days her classes are at 6:30 and other days it may be 7-8 pm. I get home around 6 pm. Does this sound excessive or is this just me? My wife struggles with joint pain and she says exercising makes her feel better.

Better watch out for those Soul Cyclist instructors, they will have your wife in the sack before you can say 10 speed!

Ridiculous. Let’s stop trying to control women and interfere with their life choices via spreading crappy rumors.

Op here. A lot of times I drop her off at the classes. Cheating for 1 hour during a class? I doubt it.

Huh? Why do you drop her off? Why doesn’t she drive herself? Why don’t you workout with her?

Because we have 1 car and I bring our child to the playground while she goes to a class.

OP, you’re too naive my friend. The guy gets his rocks off in a matter of minutes and tosses your wife aside like a used piece of meat. An hour gives a person plenty of time to cheat. If there’s a will, there’s a way.

But considering she has time to workout during the day, I find it problematic that she's going to a class at night during the few hours the family has together. Sure a class here and there if she missed her daytime workout is fine, but it seems unhealthy to me if her exercise obsession is getting in the way of life.

Working out by yourself with a child is not the same as going to a class pp. I find it unhealthy for a sahm to not have a life outside of her children. Going to an exercise class at night helps with mental health. O have been there. My children would not adjust to gym childcare.

My husband would not be happy with this schedule.

You spend $50/day to exercise? Man, people these days...

Exercise can't be an intrest? Isn't this the dream for middle aged moms?

Um, no. Exercise is boring AF. Take up a sport or activity or just exercise to stay fit, but exercise being your hobby? Good lord, I do not want to be friends with you.

You must be chunky. Of course fitness is a perfectly fine interest.

I think it’s strange for someone with a family to work out twice a day without being a competitive athlete of some sort. It could be that she genuinely just enjoys it, but more likely she has body image issues and does it to stay thin. How does she act if she has to miss a workout?

It is possible to be physically healthy but have a mentally unhealthy addiction to exercise. I know from experience.

Taking your 2 yr old swimming is not exercise for her. She’s playing in the pool with him and not swimming laps.

Surely she takes a break 2 days per week?

Why would she do that? If you’re cross-training and working different muscle groups, rest days aren’t necessarily indicated.

Is she a triathlete?
Working out 2x a day is normal
