That's another way to look at it. I'm sure once you're left with sore muscles and aching joints, you'd think that it's all worth it...or not. LoL. I have a lady friend that does crossfit too and she's loving the intensity of each work out. She's been doing it for almost 5 months (I think).

Wow, I wish I had that much free time. I'm slumped between work, home, children, family, and other commitments that my work out is getting groceries loaded into my SUV. Yes, I do all the work at home - laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. but I don't break a sweat doing the things I've been doing for years.

I think I'm going to do bike rides going to groceries or running my usual errands. I do groceries in bulk so running errands like paying bills, small purchases are ideal for bike rides.
The other things I do to save time so I can get to exercise on the treadmill at home are:
1. I do groceries in bulk (have I stressed that fact enough?LoL)
2. I cook meals in bulk, use a crockpot for some, and freeze them for a week's worth of reheating meals.
3. I do laundry at night while I review files from work.
4. I switched to a doctor that has a patient portal so I can request refills online instead of lining up at the pharmacy (it's the
best EHR feature if you ask me).
5. I clean the house every other day and not everyday (except for the kitchen). When you live with kids, it's hard to keep up with them.
These things that I do, give me about an hour on the treadmill each day but I don't always do an hour...the fridge and my laptop seem more attractive to me..
