Goodness only knows.
I guess technically the poster hasn't breached the chat guidelines it's a fairly mundane subject. You can't force someone to engage.
But it's pretty annoying when you see how many people have been sucked in by the tosser who can't get it up.

Do a search on their other posts!

Why are threads like this allowed to stand?

If the poster makes one post then never returns they are obviously a troll who is off reading all the replies and wanking to everyone fighting amongst themselves.

You're all wank fodder.

Not the first time 😂

I’m not too busy I just can’t be arsed

I may have a spare 30 mins a day but I don't like running. The types of exercise I enjoy takes longer than 30 mins, so is harder to fit in. Just because you manage to have a routine that suits you doesn't everyone can.

MasterBeth · 02/03/2025 16:52

You sound amazing, 😍. Well done being you, OP.

Crazybooklady · 02/03/2025 16:49

Nobody has time to do everything. What do you not do to make time for exercise Op?

@Needspaceforlego

Explains the need to run so much. She must have a lot of pent up energy and frustrations.

You're right 😆 I don't usually take the bait but for some reason, this really bothered me 🫣

Thanks I just can't believe how many people haven't noticed they haven't been back.
I'm sad enough to have checked out their other posts, on Erictile Dysfunction which gave me a good laugh 😃

@Notwiththebullshizz if the motivation to post was to wind up a load of women into a frenzy and sit back laughing then it's a fairly logical thing to post!!

Circumstances, age, physical limitations? Back in my 20s with one child who was a good sleeper, I'd do at least an hour on my turbo trainer every night, cycle to work and fit in weights 2-3 times a week. Now I'm in my 40s, I'm working more, finally sit down for an hour after t 9-10 and then I'm back up at 6 to start it all again (frequently after at least 1-2 wake ups). I try to walk as much as possible at lunch time, but have barely managed this recently. My office is full of child-less gym bunnies with set routines for exercise - and I'm v glad for them that they can, for both physical and mental reasons, but there's no way I could squeeze it in. Maybe at some point in the future, but not now. All I can do is try to make sensible decisions on diet etc.

🤔 What a strange thing to post. There are so many reasons as to why people don't have time. Some people are single parents and have no 'village' to support them. Some people actually prefer to spend their little bit of free time actually with their children/family and some people have other hobbies that may take up their free time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people spending their little bit if free time indulging in a book, the same as it's also ok for someone to spend that free time going for a run or doing yoga, for example. Your post sounds as though you live a rather sheltered and privileged life

I love running but when I start work early and finish late then there is no time when it’s dark outside early morning or after work.

You’re very patronising, and make a lot of assumptions. You also lack imagination and empathy.
Do run along now (do you see what I did there? 🤡)

No thanks … I don’t go running 🤡
I love the imagination on this thread that’s for sure!!

They do … you just have to be inventive. Look online for ideas if you can’t think of anything.

I run about 4 miles, 4 times a week. I’m in a routine and force myself to do it even when I can’t be arsed. It takes me about 30-40 minutes each time I go for a run and I squeeze it in early morning, before dinner, just whenever I can really. I work full time and have 2DC who are admittedly at secondary school now, but this is something I’ve always done.
My AIBU is finding it annoying when people tell me they don’t have time to do any exercise. It’s like they’re so busy and important and I’ve got all the time in the world. I honestly don’t believe that the vast majority of people can’t squeeze in half an hour a few times a week.

Their lives are busier than yours i guess?

I struggle to find the time to exercise regularly. Out the house 6am to 7pm most days - then after cooking, tidying up, showering and prepping for the next day im ready for bed 😂

She is giving an example of the exercise she does … not saying that everyone has to go running. There are many many alternatives.

No. She was being a judgemental, superior £@?€.

How old are you?
I'm nearing 60 and many of my peers who spent their 30s and 40s pounding the pavements are forking out for knee replacements

Willyoujust · 28/02/2025 20:36

Wow you do sound smug. I don’t have time on the morning….im already up a 6am and can’t face getting up any earlier. I do not have time after work either with taking my child to clubs / getting the dinner ready etc. Perhaps you’ve never worked a 50 hour week while having young children so don’t understand?

I often work 10 hr days, on my feet mostly, come home, cook and have another 2 hours of work. I'm trying to get more exercise, but I'm tired - funnily enough

It's all about balance. Rest is important too.

I have the motivation and do get plenty of exercise. Some days I have exercise planned though and tell myself that today, I am listening to my body and resting instead.

DS is there in the evenings and DH is working. I finish work, have a cup of tea and chat with DS about school and how he's doing/let him vent any issues, make dinner, tidy round then it's the start of the bedtime routine, getting DS to take his melatonin, setting up his blankets and lights then encouraging him to go up then I have to stay with him until he's asleep. I'm rarely downstairs before 11, and often it's after 11 - which is an improvement as before the melatonin it would be 1am.

DS will have memories of you talking to him and spending time, not of your back disappearing out the door to go running.
