I think as a whole, we are not nearly as active throughout our day than even our mothers and grandmothers were. Today's technologically has made our physical lives easier. Plus, many more women are working outside the home, and many do have long commutes, etc.

I can no longer do hour long intense workouts anymore either - my joints don't always like it for one and there's too much dread factor for me now. I will say the one exception to this is Barre 3 - I do enjoy some of their hour long online classes and will try to fit those in twice a week. My preferred workout now is a 30 minute (or less) HIIT/metabolic workout followed by a 30 minute Essentrics workout. If I feel wiped out from the first workout, I will reach for a more stretchy Essentrics or if I'm feeling game, I will add on a strength focused Essentrics. What I love is that the first workout keeps my heart rate going during the Essentrics workout so I do feel as though I'm getting a solid hour of cardio and toning with the icing on the cake being a nice stretched out feeling too.

If I could swing it w/ my schedule, I'd love to workout multiple times a day - maybe 30 min morning, afternoon and evening - nothing crazy hard, but I think that way of working out would keep my joints from bothering me and would keep me moving throughout the day which I think is so important and something that is hard to do w/ today's lifestyles of long commutes, sitting at desk and using technology to accomplish so many things in our life - to paraphrase Leslie - you don't burn calories w/ e-mail!
