I disagree. Thats a big moment in life. The gym will always be there, your daughter is only born once. Its a matter of what you value more.
What was your last workout?

You're last statement is the truth. I run and will run in 15* weather before I run a treadmill.
Today was a 4 mile trail run at an 8:20. I hurt myself doing a tough mudder in March and am still working back to my old pace
I once wore a heart rate/ pulse monitor during a weight lifting routine and was shocked how elevated my rate was through it. It seemed just as good as cardio.
I heard a lot of negative things about cross fit and tried it once. It wasn't for me. I can see how people can get injuries doing it, however, I am sure every coach is different. I've been asked my opinion on it and I think it can be good. Not everyone wants to look like a bodybuilder. And some people need variety and a little competition to push them. I think people should do what keeps them healthy and coming back for more.

Come to the dirty south and we can do 50 yard dashes to a few all you can eat buffets.

I heard bad things about it too, but then found out a guy I went to school with ran a gym near the house. I did the free few classes to learn the fundamentals and watch the regular class. I didn't see anyone doing anything that I would consider dangerous. The trainers are always walking around making sure everyone's form is correct and if anyone has an injury they adjust what they do until they get well enough to participate in the regular routine.
I personally take my time when doing the workouts and only record my times when we do the benchmarks so I can compare later. Everyone is really supportive and positive.
I think it depends on how they word it.
Some people make it sound like their kids prevent them, vice the people who just prefer time at home.
We use exercise as a family thing. I'll go for a5 mile run and my kids go with on bikes.
I don't see how its any different than a bowflex.
Probably true. Both are pretty worthless as it pertains to a workout.
Its all about the number of repetitions.
In that case, I'm golden!
Yep. Same here. I sat around for a year getting flabby because of a herniated disk. I actually just got done with my arm day and my shoulder is feeling a bit tweaked. Hope it's better tomorrow...
This. The "no time" excuse is a pile of bullshit. FIND the time. Or just don't bitch about being out of shape.
And it certainly is a lifestyle. I used to go through these cycles where I would work out SUPER hard for a few months until I reached my goals, then immediately fall off the wagon and be a big fat piece a shit ****** for about 6 months and loose all the gains and then some, then get back on it hard again. After I while I realized I was just overdoing it and burning myself out.
So now I've found my happy medium where I still train hard but my gains come slower, rather than kill myself for a few months for quick gains. I still eat the things I like and just try not to go overboard, rather than put myself on an awful strict diet that makes me miserable for a few months.
The key is to find a routine that you are comfortable doing for the rest of your life. Every day. I'm 33, so it took me a very long time to figure it out.
Oh and as for crossfit, it definitely works. I don't do it. It's not for me, but I don't deny the results.
That being said, crossfit pull-ups are weak shit. I always crack up when a guy tells me he can do 25-30 pull-ups and then tries to show me those cheating-ass pussy crossfit pull-ups haha.

Agree 100% with their definition of a pull-up.
All they do with crossfit pull-ups is use momentum. I don't care if you can do 30 crossfit "pull-ups." If you can't do 10 slow, all the way up and all the way back down until your arms are straight pull-ups, then you can't do 10 pull-ups.
Full body with a focus on anti-rotation and "the pump"
I weight train 5 days a week for about 1:15 a day.
Day 1 - chest
Day 2 - back
Day 3 - rest
Day 4 - shoulders
Day 5 - triceps/biceps
Day 6 - legs
Day 7 - rest
I don't nearly get enough cardio or ab work in.
I have quit the gym after a couple of months my whole life. At 39, this is the first time I have ever been completely dedicated to working out and I look forward to going to the gym every day.

I quoted in MPH because it was on a treadmill with an average 1.5 incline. This is not my best run on a treadmil that's for sure. My best outdoor run was at a track last year 8 miles in 56.00 7:20 pace. I can't beat that lately 63.00 minutes last week outdoors. I'm 47 years old. IMO Running is the devil compared to other cardio exercises and weightlifting.
