[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work at home parent with flex schedule. It's still harder than you think to find time for this! My workout schedule is extremely variable. My goal is 4-5x a week.

I just prioritize it and then commit to doing it when I have time. Some days I do it first thing after school drop off, before I have to hope on calls or get started on a project. But sometimes I need that time for personal administration (booking an appointment, following up on a test, vacation planning, etc.). So then I try to do it at lunch time and just eat while working.

If I don't manage to make it happen one of those times, I will shoehorn a short workout into the evening routine. Like tonight, my DH was also WFH today so he did pick up from aftercare, and I squeezed in a 20 minute workout and a quick shower while he did that. I will also sometimes do an online yoga class after kids go to bed (I will not have energy for anything more aerobic than that).

I wish I could have a regular workout schedule. Before kids I went to regular classes and I miss working out in person. But my schedule is so hectic, even with the flexibility (I guess in part because of the flexibility) that I just have to catch as catch can.[/quote]

This sounds exhausting- like it takes up a lot of mental energy [/quote]
