When do you find time to exercise
I'm in desperate need to lose weight. I've been running 3 x a week but it so hard for me to find time during the day. When do you ladies exercise? I get up at 730ish feed my 4 month old dd. she doesn't sleep much and loves to be held. I also have a 3 yr old ds who's all over the place but I can put him on the iPad for Alittle bit which is what I have been during while my dd cries in her crib. I have to do all the daily house things and exercise before my dh gets home at 230. I just feel like there is not enough time in the day. My dh doesn't understand I dont have time to exercise. I am thinking waking up before my kids might be the only choice but I'm so tired my dd gets up every 3 hrs at night to each still. I'm exhausted in the morning. Please give me some suggestions or add time to the day.

My gym has daycare. I went this am and dd went to the daycare for 40m. Youngest they'll take is 3mos so you would be good! I go to a nysc.
I wouldn't compromise on sleep! That is really important.

My DH is very supportive of me working out. I go to the gym around 4-5 when he gets home from work. That is when he gets QT with DS.

When do you find time to exercise
Before I joined a gym I would do 30-45 min DVD workouts or online ones.
Now I go to gym at night after kids fed & ready for bed. Im tired but feel so much better when done. Also dont have to rush as apposed to daycare or a sitter.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
Saturday & Sunday mornings.
I leave before kids get up & come back at breakfast.
If there is an evening when DH is home early, I go then...
Gym has daycare, but that's hard with 2 kids (I do it occasionally)

If your dh gets home at 230 I'd go when he got home.

When dh gets home it's his time to relax or he works out. We have a treadmill and weights downstairs. Working out with a crying baby is the worst. I'm gonna try the morning for now and see if that works for me. Thanks ladies for your help. Keep the idea or suggestions coming. What do u do for exercise? And how long?

If you have a double stroller, can you take them for a walk/jog on the morning before it gets too hot out? That's what I've been doing with dd. But when she was 4 months there's probably no way I would have had the energy to work out at all.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
I work FT and have 2 kids. The only time I can exercise is 830/9pm after kids are in bed. It's very difficult to get motivated when you are exhausted from the day, and it's not really the ideal time for your body. But, it's all I've got.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
I sometimes try and squeeze in a run before DH leaves for work. I am still nursing but if I wasn't I would get up at 5 and do it then, since DD (touch wood) is STTN. If I can't do it alone, I will let her do her 9 am nap in the jogging stroller.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
When I get home from work, DH and I go to the park together, he walks around with the baby in the stroller while I run for half hour, then I walk around with the baby while he runs for half hour. We try to do this 3 or 4 times a week. It's the best we can do these days. We also go for lots of walks.

I understand this too my dh works hard also but I had to talk to him about my need to also relax or unwind. Now we take turns.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
I started using T25 and 21 day fix work out videos because i wasnt finding hte time to get the the gym. I love them.
I have a 6yo and 3yo. I usually drop 6yo at camp or put on the bus for school around 9. Then I work out for 30 mins (DS2 tries to exercise with me! ) do a few quick chores (laundry or make beds) then hop in the shower.
I cant get up earlier no matter how hard I try!

When do you find time to exercise
My DH and I switch when he gets home from work--he goes to the gym and then I go to crossfit or vise versa. Working out is a priority to both of us and if he gets to the gym after work I'm getting to workout also.
ETA: he is on a teacher schedule so it's a little easier than if he came home at 6 or 7pm

I get up at 430 am to get my workout in before the kids are up. on days they go to daycare I try to get them out of the house quickly, drop them off, workout and then get ready. I work from home.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
I work full time, DS goes to sleep at 9pm, I do work from home for my second job some nights too , i work out after all that, shower and go to bed. I did great doing this for 8 weeks, but fell off the wagon now. Getting back on next week! I was doing T25 and following the program exactly too.
It sucks!

Re: When do you find time to exercise
I go to Pure Barre classes 3 evenings a week at 7:30, after DS is in bed. I do bath time and then DH handles actually putting him to sleep so I can go. I also go both weekend mornings at 8:30 or 9:45. My DH knows how important it is to me, so he's supportive and helpful.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
You have a tiny baby. Take the kids for a walk, watch your carbs and relax. You are pushing yourself too hard

When do you find time to exercise
I take long walks with my DD and my dog. I try to plan routes that are challenging in the beginning and let me cool down on th way home. My neighborhood is hilly so I get a good cardio workout if I keep a decent pace. A few days a week I do some strength training with weights at home and occasionally I squeeze in some Pilates if I am not too exhausted.

Re: When do you find time to exercise
I struggle with this since getting back to work. Baby girl is 4 months. My husband works inconsistent hours so I can't always have him watch her. We have been doing family walks whenever possible. I guess every little bit helps.

I agree with this.
I also think you need to sit down and talk to your DH about having a little time for yourself. It's no fair that he has his time to relax/workout and you don't. If he gets home at 2:30 that should be plenty of time for you both to get in an hour of exercise and/or rest.
Good luck.

When do you find time to exercise
I got a jogging stroller last year. I downloaded the Couch to 5K app, and off we went. I've ran two 5K's this year. The only problem is I don't like to run in the extreme temps. But chasing after DS (just turned 3) is also great exercise.

I am not a fan of exercise by any means.... but I am trying to do T-25....25 minutes. I am trying to find 25 minutes normally during nap time or DD is in the highchair snacking and watching-she thinks it is funny 1
