[quote=Anonymous][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]

Then you need to work out every day for your health. It’s a priority. I’d be ready to go right when he gets home, and he can spend an hour or so with the baby and then when you get home you can all eat dinner. Make it a firm routine. [/quote]
