[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd consider myself very fit.  My kids are 7, 5, and 3, and the only time I haven't worked out in many years are injury, the first trimester and then ~5 weeks after each pregnancy.

I prioritize the hell out of it.  It's almost always first thing in the morning, either a class or home workout (we have a Peloton).  Since having kids, I've used some combination of jogging stroller, gym with childcare, home workouts, and early morning workouts before kids wake up.  I'm rigid about working out and more flexible about what exactly I do.

I work FT (40 hours/week) in a flexible job that allows for WAH 1-2 days/week.  My commute is not long.  I do most of the cooking, but eat out once or twice a week for dinner.  I go to bed by 10pm almost every night, and usually earlier.  I've been an athlete for most of my life, so I had many years of this habit before having kids, and that's been essential to maintaining it.  Daily exercise is as much part of my life as sleeping or eating.  I wouldn't take a job or choose a commute that didn't afford me time to work out.  It's not worth it to me.[/quote]

I’m an earlier poster echoing a lot of this. I like others in this thread was an athlete when I was younger - it is very hard to commit to exercise as an adult if it has never really been a part of your life – And would simply not take a job where I could not fit it in. It is that important to me.[/quote]
