[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have the same problem - two young kids, and I'm struggling to find time to fit in workouts. I know I should get in a morning routine, but it's hard for me both because I have a difficult time convincing myself to wake up and because my husband leaves for work in the wee hours and it's never a sure bet that the baby will sleep past 6am.

I aim to get at least four good workouts in a week, and get creative with how I schedule them. Two are on the weekend. For the other two, I've managed to find time by:
- completely preparing dinner ahead of time (crock pot or something), handing off the kids and minor dinner prep activities to my husband, and going out for a 30-40 minute run. we all eat together as soon as i get back
- exercising as soon as the kids go to bed (if I wait any longer, it won't happen). i'll change into workout clothes before the bedtime routine and head out as soon as I kiss them goodnight.
- going for a run at lunch during work

I agree that you need to get to bed earlier. I aim to be alseep by 10:30 every night and still have a difficult time getting up by 7. To really make morning workouts work, I think I would need to be trying to get to bed by 9:30.[/quote]
