[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound really sweet. My DH works out *all* the time. I don’t enjoy it as much but I know it’s important for my health and to him so I make an effort. It took me a long time to find a work-out that I enjoy. It’s expensive (personal trainer) so we throw money at it (we spend next to nothing on DH’s fitness and lots on mine even though he works out more). I now work out 3x/week and I found a trainer who isn’t super intense as I really didn’t enjoy having someone yell at me to do “just five more.”  DH would also offer to stay with the kids *anytime* I wanted to workout - so I felt when the kids were little that working out was a guilt free way to get a bit of a break.

It took a lot of gentle encouragement over several years  from DH for me to finally get into a good routine. But I also never had a weight issue - so the encouragement never had a self-esteem busting time to it. Good luck![/quote]

Thank you. This post gives mr some hope. In fact, a couple days ago my wife mentioned that there was a Barre fitness nearby that she wanted to try. I had to ask her what it was, but when she told me I wasn't surprised she was interested. She's pretty flexible, so it's something she'd start off with an advantage. That will make her a lot more confident, which is important.

I want her to be fit, but only if she can find something she enjoys. I hate the gym and would be miserable if that was my only option for fitness. Some people enjoy it, but it's just not my thing. So I don't want that for her either. I am more than happy for us to spend the money on classes. Investments in health are very important, especially as we approach a critical age.[/quote]
