2-3 times. I'd go every day if I could.

I have a 7 year old daughter.

Squeeze in time at the gym, have lost 50 lbs and 15% body fat in the past 18 months, and compete in a tennis league. I'm glad I found this thread!

Great job on the loss, you look great by the way...

Im a married (21yrs), mother of 3 (14,12 &6). He works alot of hours & I work on Fridays & sometimes Saturdays with brides/special events. We are busy but always make time for the gym & our oldest is lifting now as well. Even the lil princess has pink 1lb wts & likes to wear her workout clothes to walk with me on the ridges of the great smoky mnts near our house.

I'm married with 5 kids. The ages range from 13 to 2mths. I wake up at 5am to workout. My workout time is my "me time". I applaud all who live the same lifestyle but make it work especially, the Mothers!

[loGoML]

I am married with a 5 month old son, both my wife and I love the fitness lifestyle.

[rayMJ]

I'm married with one boy, he will be six months in December. Hubs and I love working out together. Brings us closer together and it's something we both enjoy. He is a good trainer and motivator! I'm already at my pre pregnancy weight and see better results every day our gym has childcare so makes it easier.

[mikel1975]

Married with 2 kids, life is hectic but still find time to workout. Keep at it

[Riggs75]

Hey everyone, little girl just turned 22 months yesterday and the little fella is turning 7 months in a few days (not that little though, he's already almost as tall as his sister and is only 3 lbs lighter lol), things sure are hectic and to top it off I am dealing with a lower back muscle tear...not fun! Hope you're all doing well.

[nmechelke]

LOL figured I would throw this in here... I also am still here!! But as Riggs was saying it seemed like nobody wanted to chat, hah. I'll try and post in here more often.

Me too sorry I have been out for awhile. Torn Hamstring really put me behind. I only recently started to really work out again but I feel soooo far behind now. Hope everyone is doing well.

I try to go at least 5

OK needs some thoughts on HIIT training and how you go at it?. The reason im asking is I want to change something up for 6 weeks but it seems strange that Jim Stoppani's program you lift each exercise 10 times before moving to the next muscle, seems you would be better off moving to the opposite muscle next ? Also it doesnt really say either...so open to thoughts ....either way im going to start it.

[nmechelke]

Nice to see some replies finally. Is everyone having a good Holiday Season? Personally, I can't wait for it to be over. Bah humbug, lol.

MY method of HIIT is probably very different from everyone else's but it works for me. On the treadmill I alternate walking at 4.2 mph for 2 minutes with running at 6.2 mph for 2 minutes. I am not a runner so this is about all I can stand. I'd like to blame it on age but I have never been able to run. I do this for 15-20 minutes depending on my energy level and alloted time. I hope someday to increase the running time but I don't see that happening anytime soon, as I despise running. I was doing the same on the elliptical but I found that it wasn't challenging enough.
