[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people doing “early morning” — what hours are those?  I need to drive my kid to school at 720am, what time does that roll back to waking up? 20 mins to cool down fully, shower and change, 5 min drive back from gym, 60 min workout, 5 min drive to gym, 5 min to wake and roll out of bed to car.   That’s about 1:36 hours which means latest possible wake up is 5:45am wake up.

Is that consistent with your morning timeline? If getting up this early want time do you go to bed?[/quote]

Why are you spending 20 minutes at the gym cooling down? I work out from home so this is easier for me, but I would keep a towel in your car to cover your seat and drive home sweaty! That is 5 minutes of your cool down right there. If I had to drive my kid to school at 7:20, I would also likely be driving to school sweaty, but are you then driving right to work?

For me, working out in the morning works because I work from home and my kids walk or ride the bus to school. Trying to get on a new schedule with the new school year (kids leaving at different times than last year). Over the last three weeks I have tried several things including up at 5 to work out before either kid gets up, not working out until 7:30 when both kids have left, splitting my workout so I am getting up with first, who eats breakfast first thing, then treadmill for 20 minutes while she is getting dressed, then see her off, next one gets up, I go back to working out (more treadmill or weights/resistance depending on day) for another 25 minutes or so while other one is showering, and still have time to see her off and sit with her for breakfast before she leaves for 15 minutes or so.

They are in MS and HS and they don't NEED me in the morning but they appreciate my being there. They will accept DH as an occasional substitute but he generally tries to start his day earlier (hybrid WFH/office) because he coaches several evenings per week and is also the designated homework helper as he is far more patient than I am.
