Kettle bells seem all the rage, though form is key. My husband plays badminton. A couple of my friends love boxing. I feel like those things have the added bonus of requiring us to learn something new. We all know generally what running is like and whether we want to do several hours of it a week.
I’ve given up trying to workout after work. My workday spans at least 9 hours and my commute home is 45-55 minutes and is so stultifying (punctuated by moments of sheer terror, as the saying goes) that I have no momentum after it. I just started seeing a personal trainer last month and do it on my lunch hour. I do intervals on the treadmill at the office gym once a week and usually one weekend workout. I work a desk job — I doubt I’d want to use a break from manual labor to run on a tread mill (which is terribly boring on top of everything else).
