[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8 month old and I’m wondering a few things:

1. When do you workout? I can’t seem to find a schedule I can commit to. I’m exhausted in the mornings and in the evenings. During her naps all I want to do is relax. I’m just wondering when other moms of little ones do it, especially if you aren’t a morning person.

2. Does your husband/partner support you going to the gym? I’ve been working out at home, but I mentioned I wanted to start going to the gym. My husband didn’t sound thrilled about it. I think it’s because when I worked out at home I take the baby into our gym area and set her up a place to play. I know he’s tired from work, but I feel like I need this for my physical and mental health. There’s so much stuff at the gym that I can’t do at home. [/quote]

Are you at home? You relax during her naps? I guess I have other kids and I work, but dang. I do laundry/clean/try to do a 15 minute work out. There’s not a ton of relaxing at this age. Or when you have older kids. Or work. That’s just real talk. Maybe have more coffee? Go on walks in the morning?[/quote]

Yes, I’m a SAHM and I tend to do all the chores as I go (I’m really efficient) anything that can’t be done as I go gets done in the evenings. I have Lupus, so that makes working out even more difficult as I live with chronic pain and fatigue. Just trying to figure out something that works for me that I can stick to. [/quote]
