Is this a fair or unfair assessment? I will say the Partners around here, look like they don't have enough time to hit the gym.

Fair but also as you move up (and get older) you have other responsibilities outside work (family, kids, their activities). Gym time is replaced for these activities.

I hate it when people say it’s just 30 minutes. It’s way more than 30 minutes when you have to change, workout, stop sweating, take a shower and then dress again!

3x a week for 30 minutes is not unreasonable and all you need

90 minutes of walking is better than 0 minutes. That’s 400-450 calories per week over and above your baseline burn. Sure, it would take 8-9 weeks to burn a pound of fat, but after 10 years you can fit into your old jeans!

That belly is not from skipping the gym. It’s from eating more than you need

Yeah divorced and overweight. If you're neither then you're probably very good at selling or just elite.

Are you saying you have to be very good at selling or elite to be not divorced and/or overweight?

I would say just worry about and focus on your won wellbeing. You don’t know their priorities and may be physical wellbeing is not on top of that list. It’s not fair or unfair but a lame assessment that has no contribution in your growth.

People are the result of their excuses. Doesn’t matter the profession.

During busy season, I may have had less time to workout than desired. But I always told myself that it costs me no extra time to make positive food choices.

Most people start out at pic#3-4 without the muscles 😂

I’m fighting for my life just to keep 50 pushes and some squats into my daily routine

I will say it is extremely sad to see people 5-10yrs later get so fat and unhealthy that you can’t play sports with them anymore (like when we were young)

That’s the saddest thing about getting old in accounting. If you’re one of the few that manages to stay healthy you are still surrounded by all the people with those health problems

Reminds of the ghetto a grew up in. A lot of unhealthy people

Really makes you wonder if the career is worth it for most

Idk the partners I’ve seen seem in shape

It’s called aging. We all do it

🤣 Well, I wasn't expecting to log on and being personally attacked like this lol. But between working around the clock and getting older, I don't have the time or energy to hit the gym. It happens
