[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, they're not inexpensive, but with your background you might really enjoy both Peloton and solidcore.  I do both, and have a background as a competitive athlete (if not elite level).  But they're both low-impact and give you the opportunity to REALLY push yourself if that's what you want, without the accompanying stress on joints that both running and heavy weight lifting bring.

Rowing is fantastic, but not inexpensive, and the time commitment is not sustainable unless you live next to a lake.

FWIW, I'm early 40s, work out daily, have three kids, work FT, and feel great.  I think I look pretty good, too, but many of the effects child-bearing has on your body relate to luck.  My body's the same as before kids, but, again, luck.[/quote]

If you plan on having kids, I strongly recommend you check out Peloton.  Since you run, you probably will LOVE the new Peloton Tread.  I have the Peloton bike and the indoor cycling classes are amazing.  I also use the app to do their bootcamps with my own treadmill, and they are basically like Orange Theory Fitness classes in your own home.  
I was very active before having kids, and after I had my first son, it was SO HARD to adjust to my new life as a working mom, particularly because my old ways of exercising didn’t fit into my life anymore.  After I had my second son I started using the Peloton app at home with a cheap spin bike, and it literally saved working out for me.  I’m now 38 with two kids (4 and a half and almost 2) and I’m below my pre-pregnancy weight and I’m getting more fit every day.
 All of the Peloton content is amazing and the workouts are all really fun and very challenging.  They have a bunch of other great content, like strength workouts, yoga, meditation, stretching, etc.  I do the strength workouts in addition to the bike classes and bootcamps, and I love them all.  My only complaint is that they need to come out with longer strength workouts (right now they are only 10 minutes long each).
