[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old. I usually work out in the evenings after they’re both asleep. Bedtime for the baby is between 6:30 and 7, bedtime for the toddler is between 7 and 7:30. As soon as they’re both down, I change into workout clothes and get my workout done. We have a Peloton bike and a variety of dumbbells, kettlebells, etc. I either do a 30 minute Peloton ride or 30 minute weight workout with the Strong Like a Mother program (she has an app, it’s amazing). I probably average 4 workouts per week.

Not going to lie, it does take a lot of discipline. I’m so tired by the end of the day that all I want to do is sit on the couch. But I feel so much better immediately afterward, and I feel better/healthier in general when I make it happen consistently. The other downside is that there are some things that just don’t get done. The house is not perfectly clean and sometimes laundry doesn’t get folded for a few days. But I’ve decided to prioritize working out.

I would like to switch to working out in the mornings, but the baby has been waking up at 5 am lately, so that’s not happening.[/quote]

Forgot to answer your second question - yes, DH is very supportive. He also works out multiple times per week. But we both workout at home and don’t go to a gym, so that makes it easier for us to both squeeze it into our schedules.[/quote]
