NYT: All Child-Play and No Workouts Make Dad an Unfit Boy

Regular readers of this blog will note that it has been only two days since I set some goals using the coolrunning.com couch to 5K running plan.  This morning, the New York Times published an article about the very thing that spurred me to write that post:  prioritizing time to workout with children is tough.

 

The article is actually about the University of Pittsburgh Physical Activity Study which scientifically proves that I am highly likely to exercise less than I used to. 

 

My favorite quote of the article:

 Too many Americans have an all-or-nothing mentality toward fitness, said Dr. Harvey B. Simon, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. If they can’t find a 45-minute window to bike, they don’t substitute by strapping on a BabyBjörn and taking a stroll. 

Our point exactly!!!
