re: I quit doing cardio

Not sure why you're being down voted but I absolutely do not have time to run/lift in the evenings. If it's not baseball, it's track, or church, or football. Literally every day of the week. I've started lifting at 4:30 and although I hate it, it is the best way. Lift 4 days, walk 3 days.

Right there with you. I don't have a home gym (yet) so I have to lift before or after work. After just isn't an option with everything my kids have going on (dance, band, gymnastics, volleyball, etc). If my wife wasn't able to bring them to school (leaves at 5:40am and gets home at 5:50PM), then I'd basically be limited to lifting on Sat/Sunday mornings or weekdays at 3AM/10PM. My typical weekday is to walk to the gym at 5:40AM, workout for roughly 75min, maybe 15-20 min in sauna (if I have time), walk back home (3 mile roundtrip), shower, start work. If I have a Saturday workout planned, I start my day at 3:30 or 4.

Right now I'm in a pattern of lifting 3 days, then 1 day cardio (stationary bike). No matter what day it is, I walk at least 3 miles everyday.
