[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no possible way as a WOHM that I can work out as much as I used to.  I used to exercise about 5 times a week.  No time for that anymore!  I aim for 2-3 times a week, but I work out hard and efficiently.  I do HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training.  You get an amazing workout for all body parts in about 20 minutes. Other than that, I really try to eat right.  I'm not looking like I looked pre-kids, but I am still looking pretty good.  I am hoping once my kids are a little older, I will have more time.

Agree you need to work out more efficiently.  I used to work out six days a week.  I am in much better shape now working out 3 times a week, primarily weightlifting + intervals at the end of my workouts.  If I have time I go for a run or something for a fourth day.  3 times a week on the elliptical won't do much for you, but HIIT, lifting, etc., will really give you a lot of bang for your buck.

Once or twice a week I work out on my lunch break.  I start really early and take a long lunch.  Once on the weekends.  If I know I won't be able to get a lunchtime workout in, I get up and go to the gym before work.[/quote]
