3. when you are waiting on your kids execrise
4. dont go to happy hour
5. split time w ur partner putting the kids to bed
6. walk to the store
7. on ur 15 min morning and afternoon breaks walk
8. ditch going to the movies on Sat/Sun afternoon
9. walk, run, bike w ur kids instead of playing a board game

11. Stop making excuses-I see so many people my age with young kids use the job of parenting as an excuse. I myself have 2 young kids (3 later this week!), and while sometimes it's hard to find the time to workout, I feel like I owe it to them. I workout because my Dad was a marathon runner, and riding next to him during his long runs is something I'll never forget. Kids need role models, I had one, my kids will have one. Having kids is not an excuse to be sedentary, in fact, it's the worst time possible to become sedentary.

I always find time with the following

11) wake up an hour earlier
12) make wife angry

works though!

yea...12 sounds about right!

if a wife/husband/gf/bf/partner does not fully support your healthy lifestyle - get rid of them - seriously - and particularly if you have kids because there is NOTHING more imp than doing what you can (ie being healthy) to be around for a long time for your kids

they are being selfish - and probably have all the excuses why they cant do 1 hr of execrise a day

james - ur correct -set a good example, dont show your kids how to make excuses

this is wy I like this sport and like this club

good stuff


my kids ( all 14 ) are the excuse I use to train

not an excuse get out of it

I want to to be healthy for the young ones when I am older

and I want to stay ahead of the older ones now

my goal is to do a triathlon when I am 80.

Most of you will still be doing them then right?
