[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. My DH leaves for work at 5 am; I drop off kids and get to work at 9 am. Work to 530, then get home at 6pm, make dinner (DH picks up and usually has activities and homework until I get home), then kids aren’t asleep until 9. I could maybe work out at 930, but usually have to clean up and do other chores.

How would you fit in an hour of exercise here?  No lunch break, sorry. [/quote]

The only way to do it would be to really prioritize it. Force some room in your work schedule (9-5:30 with no breaks at all is a lot) or work out after 7 pm (DH can take care of bedtime a couple times a week, no?). You don't mention the weekends, but those are good options too - find a gym with childcare or set up playdates for the kids if DH can't help for some reason. Not that you are required to do this, mind you. But I think that's what you would have to do *IF* you really wanted to squeeze in some time for a workout. And you might want to if you want to be around to enjoy your children and potential future grandchildren in 30 years.[/quote]

9-530 With a 30 minute break for lunch is the standard. In 30 minutes really isn’t enough time to fit in a workout, maybe you can go for a walk but if you get sweaty you won’t have time to change.
For us we have meetings scheduled all the time, so you might get 30 minutes of break throughout the day, but you won’t get a solid chunk.  Just chipto grab a sandwich to take to your next meeting.

I do work out on the weekends, Working out at 5 AM is an option, but we have a small house so running on a treadmill or something will wake the kids (If we even had a treadmill
