[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't anyone just answer the question, rather than shaming the OP?  I have three kids, so I'm not sure how helpful my answer will be, but:

6am: I wake up and do 20-30mins strength or yoga exercise
6:30am: kids start waking up and we eat breakfast, pack lunches, etc.
7am: spouse wakes up; I get baby up and dressed and start feeding her
7:30am: spouse takes older kids to school
8am: I walk baby to daycare (30 mins, also near my work, so I consider it part of my morning exercise)
8:45 start work

Important caveats:
(1) My spouse does not exercise in the morning, or really much at all.  If he does, it's on his lunch break.  He could obviously wake up 30-60 minutes earlier to exercise.
(2) I do not shower in the mornings.  I do low intensity exercises and then work by myself most of the day, so can generally get away without showering.

How old are your kids?

A baby isn't necessarily waking up at 6:30. Might be at 6 or even earlier, could be multiple times a night, will probably keep changing every few weeks.

There really is no "schedule" for infants.

OP I understand you feel you are getting flamed but I think a lot of PPs feel like your priorities will change once you have kids. I had 1-2hr with mine before daycare, which included time for getting ready etc, and I would not have wanted to spend it on my own workout. I wanted to spend the time with baby. Or sleeping if DH covered the morning after a bad night![/quote]
