[quote=Anonymous]Rowing.  You get a full-body workout but don't get pounding or twisting.  I'm in my 60s and I love the workout I get and the friendships I've made in my rowing club.  However, it's not cheap and if you're rowing sweep (8 or 4 rowers), it's not flexible cuz you got to row with your club.  But you could also learn to scull by yourself.

I don't know where you live but check out US Rowing's "Find a Club" page: http://www.usrowing.org/find-club/ Many clubs offer lessons and have early morning workouts.  I row with Capital Rowing Club over in Hill East on the Anacostia but there's lots of clubs in the area.

On another note, you sound like you push yourself hard to be the best you can be and there's nothing wrong with that but when you get to a point in your life that you can't do that to that extent, you could end up being unnecessarily hard on yourself - which might make it harder to keep up with your workouts.  So my suggestion if you want to hang in there for the long run, is to go easier on yourself.  When things get complicated (as they do with small children and careers and commutes), focus on getting your workouts when you can and don't be too hard or yourself.

That's how I made it through my 40s when my kid was young and I was stressed out at work and driving long distances.  (I'm so glad I did because I feel great today.)  So think about the long haul and hang in there![/quote]
