The truth is some things are easier for men. In particular, working out is not nearly the time commitment it is for women. I honestly would exercise nearly every day if all I had to do after is take a quick shower.
When I worked in an office, I envied the men who worked out during their lunch hours. There was no way I could work out, shower, and redo my hair and makeup in 60 minutes. For one thing, it takes 30-40 minutes after working out for my body to cool down to normal and my face to no longer look like a red beet!
Working from home, I thought it would be easier to fit in workouts, since I no longer have to look presentable everyday. But it's basically the same problem. Each day I look for a two hour gap in my schedule and, most of the time, it's just not there.
I now envy my 81-year-old dad who has plenty of time to swim an hour a day, six days a week. Together with his healthy diet, he's in better shape than he's been in decades.
Life is not fair in so many ways.
