Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below OK, hopefully guys are allowed to post on this forum. If not my sincerest apologies. Now, here is where I need some help / advice. My wife and I have alway worked out and kept in very good condition. She had our first child 1 1/2 years ago and got back to normal size within 2 months (I was impressed). I was giving her compliments all the time and telling her what a great job she had done. Well, its 1 yeat later, she is back to work and as many of you know free time is very short. She is starting to really slip as far as conditioning goes and I can not think of a way to tell her without causing a lot of pain. I've tried getting equipment for our home, but still have yet to get her to work out. I love my wife but I'm shallow and want her to look as good as she used to as well as be in great health. How do I get her back at it? I would work out with her again but our jobs, schedule , daughter demand otherwise. So, any words of wisdom will be greatly appriciated.
need some help from the ladies please

Does she ever ask your opinion? If so, be honest - but not brutal.
Scorpio- no she does not ask my opinion. I'm thinking she is not really happy with her appearance lately either I just need a way to get her back to the gym. Don't get me wrong she does not look bad, but she used to look better.
Sassy, we used to train together but we both have new jobs that are far apart. So now 2 days she picks up our daughter from day care and the other days I do. The stress thing may work as she has been a bit up tight lately. Her real concern (I think) is not being able to spend enough time w/ our daughter but I tell her even if she took 45 minutes - hour, 3 days a week it would do wonders. I already cook & clean when I get home first so she just needs to take the time. Its not like things are not gettig done, I am very domesticated

She may just be in a rutt and need to come out of it on her own time. My fiance & I were just having this discussion yesterday. He was upset with me because I never told him he looked bad. The truth of the matter was that he just didn't care and nothing I said was going to make a difference. He bounced back and is now looking great again.
If it bothers you that bad, don't make excuses trying to get her back to the gym - she WILL catch on! Be honest and tell her. She might get pissed at you, she might not care what you think.......good luck!

A child changes every woman's life, and if your daughter is your first child she may be more focused now on being a good mother and taking care of the baby. I think that if you are helping her she can have some time for herself which we all need, and that won't make her a bad mother.
My mother tells me that when she was younger, even though she doesn't regrets having spent time with us, she would have liked to have time to exercise and that she is seeing to consequences now at her age. Our case was different, because my father travelled all the time and hardly spent time at home when we were little.
But the case is that, for any woman "me time" is valuable at any stage of her life
