[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The $50/month cost isnt the issue.  Its the amount of effort it is for some people to make it to that gym consistently enough to get the health benefits.

Imagine you have to manage child care, or you work long hours and have a long commute, and no energy or time at the end of the day.

Or you have anxiety over trying to access equipment when the gym is crowded (thats the main reason I stopped going).

Sure it would be easy to make this happen if you have an hour or two free each day AND you aren't a human being who has a lot of demotivating factors in your life.

In the middle of my medical specialty training, I still found time to exercise despite small kids, long work hours and long commute. I would wake up at 4:30 and hit the gym from 5-6 before returning home to shower and head to work. It’s not motivation that keeps you going, it’s discipline. It’s understanding that despite the fact that your tired right now, you will feel better later (later today, later this year, later in life) if you go even when you don’t want to. 
I strongly believe any time you spend now in improving your health, is the single best investment you can make in overall quality of life. But as a physician, I am surrounded by people who suffer from often preventable illnesses. It’s a constant, daily reminder of why prioritizing my overall health is important. [/quote]

So you got by on 5 hours of sleep? What job did your spouse have? I love getting up at 5 its a nice time of day, but Im up to midnight cleaning up from day after getting home at 7, cooking dinner, caring for kids etc. I have heard sleep is even more important than exercise for health?

Who watched your kids? Did you have a nanny that cooked and cleaned? Or do you just function on 4 hours of sleep?[/quote]
