[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you will remain healthier and 'intact' if you don't birth any children. Childbearing takes a negative toll on women's bodies. Not just the stretchmarks and the aesthetics but you are at a large risk of pelvic floor issues, incontinence and prolapse, which also affects your capacity and attitude toward working out. Women are gonna jump on me for saying this, but don't shoot the messenger.[/quote]

There's also the lack of sleep, which often leads to poor eating choices because sleep deprevation lowers levels of lepitin, which suppresses appetite while raising levels of ghrelin, which increases appetite.  And then your kids get sick one day after the next, or have colic, or are super early risers, which really can interrupt your exercise schedule in addition to your sleep.  Also some women's thyroids get out of whack after a pregnancy. That can be addressed, of course, but sometimes finding the time and energy to take care of yourself after giving birth and looking after young ones can be difficult.

Also regarding age: arthritis or injuries can put a stop to certain exercises. You don't always have control over those physical issues.

Life often throws a wrench into the best laid plans. Always good to have that perspective so you're not caught unaware.[/quote]

This - lots of people I know, DH included, were seriously into fitness, especially running, in their 20s and 30s...and then got injured, knee injuries, herniated disks, and so on. DH can’t run at all anymore, so he swims a few times a week and walks a lot, but it’s just not the same and he doesn’t enjoy it so it’s become a chore the wayvrunning bever was for him.[/quote]
