I fully support this - one thing that is so hard as a solo parent is that nearly every act of "self care" has to happen in the house. Unless you are lucky enough to sneak away during the day when the kids are at day care or school, if you want to do something for yourself, you have to do it at home. Gone are the gym memberships or the yoga studio, gone is the indulgence to get a massage or even take an evening walk. You simply cannot just leave the kids alone and hiring a babysitter for these things is just so expensive. So I applaud this indulgence. Not only is it for you, it's also one of the few things you can do for yourself before the kids wake up or late at night etc.

Allison,

Bought the Peleton tread mill and LOVE it. No need to think it's extravagant - it will last a lifetime. I have replaced the belt twice and have logged over 30,000 miles - remember:

Right foot - Left foot - Right Foot...
