The treadmill is what it is....forced exercise fit in when broader opportunity cant be taken advantage of (read: crack of dawn). I do bunch of stuff at the gym. Machines, core classes and what they call body pump: free weights (I use a straight bar as opposed to dumbbells) in an aerobic setting. I'm not interested in mass anymore. Just tightness, definition and strength. Edited December 5, 2019 by Leader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Imo there’s plenty of space between specifically asking for something and having the husband just deciding it’s just time for his wife to get fit. The scenario that came into my head was one where the wife’s been talking about wanting to be better at going to the gym but just struggling to find the time to make the trip over, which is a sentiment shared by I’d say most people I know at some time or other. In that case it’s not about the husband trying to impose something on his wife, but enabling her to do the things she wants. Certainly there’s versions of the story that are ugly but I think the problem comes when you take something that has one plausible negative interpretation and then treating it like because it can be interpreted that way, that’s the only story that matters, which seems to be the basis of this and all sorts of similar episodes. Imo if my partner got me a peloton out of the blue the convo we’d be having wouldn’t be about body image but financial choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didnt start anything. It's been all over social media for days. Luckily I'd seen the commercial before the nit-pickers started picking it apart. That faux dissension is a problem in this society. We cant take the obvious for what it is - obvious. Common sense. Simple. I saw it before too and zero crossed my mind either. Agreed 100000% on the faux outrage stuff. It's out of control.

Yes, with the exception of the fact that every trail and sidewalk is a busted ankle waiting to happen, it's not bad. That caveat however kinda blows it for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I GET what there was to be mad about, what blows my mind is how big it got nationally. It was on my freaking local 6 o clock news, which is what prompted all of this. It is pretty interesting how much there is to break down inside that 30 seconds though, like AG did. You live in South Dakota. There wasn't any snow storm to interview a disheveled middle aged man shoveling his driveway about today, must not have been any cats stuck in a tree or any poorly performed grade school Christmas musicals to send someone live to, so they pulled up Twitter and decided to make an exercise bike the top story. Seems like a normal day in small town America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch it but it's always on at the bar. The shoveling driveway thing is just so on point lol. Every damn day it seems like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
