  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

*tries to understand the words.... "work... out" hmm. what do they mean??*

lol - guess that gives it away? No, we don't.

I really need to get into exercising more. I swim once a week and thats about it. Hubby used to cycle to work but hasn't done for ages and now needs a new battery for his light before he'll be on the road (on his bike at least) again.

Other than walking together with our kids, no, we do not workout together.

My dh is a cyclist and he has his group of friends that do that and they are just doing it for fun, not competitiveness. He hates being confined to the gym.

I'm into bodybuilding (weightlifting), yoga, cardio stuff. Eventually wanting to get into triathlons. My personality is fairly competitive and that's fun to me. So, even when I begin cycling outdoors, most likely it will be with those training for a triathlon. I'm also into racquetball and used to do that competitively.

I'd really like us to be able to lift weights together and we tried when we were dating, but he says I'm far to intense/serious about it. Oh well, we tried. We're fine with what we are doing.

my hubby and i were working out together, and i started to get mad at him. he started bragging to the kids, (i was already struggling to begin w/) and he challenged them, thinking we were doing this great and awesome and challenging feat, and they not only did more of the workouts, but better, & without sweat...i talked to him about it a couple of times, and he talked me into letting the kids continue, so suddenly instead of 2 people in the living room everynight, there were 10. i had no room anymore & i was embarrassed about how much harder i had to work than the others, it seemed. so i started doing them on my own, while all were at school &/or work, or sleeping. and because he didn't have me, he stopped doing them at all...
