[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked out 2-3 hours a day, including yoga and walking, weight training and cardio and swimming, because they all work different parts of the body. Yoga is essential to keep the muscles lengthened for a lot of exercise. I did this for over a year, because I stayed at home and I was stressed out with young child 12 hrs a day and husband who couldn't be bothered to help with child or house.[/quote]

So then how did you find time to do it? A sitter for 3 hours per day?[/quote]

I had a variety of choices. At 5am, I would wake up amd either hit a 6a yoga class or do cardio at a $10 gym for 30 min with a friend. Then DD and I would drive 20 min to my favorite gym with childcare and I would take a 1 hour class. Could be cardio or strength, or combo. I would change and we'd meet up with friend for a pmaydate, take a walk, go to the mall or park. Then nap. Then after DH got home, I would go to a yoga class down the street 5 days a week. I would hit AM yoga classes and/or maybe a zumba on the weekends.  I always looked for opportunities to walk with DD, and when the weather was nice, we could walk with firends or by ourselves 4-5 miles in the middle of the day. Park, lunch, nap.[/quote]

But your point was that you did this largely because you were unhappy at home and with your husband.  You can't really think this is a normal amount of exercise for a mentally healthy person.[/quote]
