[quote=Anonymous]OP, working 8.5 hours solidly with *zero* breaks is a lot.  Most professionals have at least some breaks in their day/latitude with their schedules, and people who do shift work, e.g., nurses, are both on their feet all day and only do that 3-4 times/week.  You’re also apparently working an additional 90 minutes, at least.  If you want to prioritize working a 10 hour day, that’s your priority.  But not everyone does that.

All that aside, there are multiple places you could find a workout:
-Very early morning, and your spouse does kid wake-up
-Nanny does preschool drop-off and you use that time to workout
-Schedule a 45 minute break during the day for a quick home workout
-Post-dinner walk/run in jogging stroller

I have three kids (9, 7, 5) and work FT.  I’ve worked out daily since I had them, as I did for many years pre-kids.  Having the time to work out matters more to me than a career that requires 10 hour workdays, but again, that’s my priority.  I love my job, too, and don’t do it part-time, but I also don’t do it 50+ hours/week.[/quote]
