On the weekdays she only goes to one class but she will also work out at our apartment gym or go running outside. 2 hour's of exercise seems excessive. It's also very expensive but she does pay for this expense herself even though she's a stay at home mom. She has a freelance writing job but it's only 8 hours per week. My wife is not overweight. She has always had a great body and didn't regularly exercise before she had a baby. Should I be worried about this?

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.

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

Whether it's stress, or body dysmorphia that kids could pick up on, or desire to escape the house - whatever it is, it's not all "she looks great, appreciate it!"

There's very often more to it than that.

Yes, perhaps she's fighting depression, or has a lot of anxiety or stress. Exercise is a healthy way to cope with all of these things. Much better than laying in bed chugging wine and stuffing my face with pizza like I do.

Just "it's hot yoga" as though we'll all say, ohhh, in that case, she needs to be committed!

The most relevant information here is that she's a SAHM and he makes sure she pays for this out of her own money. This guy sounds like a tool and she is probably thrilled to be out of the house.

I suspect you’re correct. Besides being home with young children isn’t exactly riveting for any adult with a triple digit in, no matter how much you love them. Good for her finding an outlet that’ll make her look and feel great. Most people just give up.
