[quote=Anonymous]If there are two parents, one parent watches kid while the other works out. I had to switch to morning workouts after 2 kids. I was too tired to do it after putting kids to bed. You can get up and workout from 6-7am or 6:30-7:30am while your spouse handles the toddler. This could be 2-3 days a week. On the weekends, you pick whatever time of day you want to workout. As long as there is a spouse around, you have a babysitter for a 45-60 min workout. My kids are now 6 and 8 but I trained for a marathon when they were 1 (nursing) and 3. I worked out 4-5 days a week. 2-3 days in the morning before work and both days of the weekend. It can be done but you have to prioritize it and have a spouse willing to support you. If I don’t workout, I’m not a pleasant person to be around and can’t deal with stress so my spouse is supportive. [/quote]
