Babies: 0 - 3 Months

when do you execise?

I'm trying to figure out a good time to exercise....I work from 8:30-5, so When I get home I want to snuggle & play with Emmie & I have to cook dinner. I don't want to exercise too close to bed time b/c it makes me hyper.  It's looking like I'll have to get up around 5 am.  She wakes at 6 am & then I have to start getting ready for work at 7. 

I don't wanna wake up at 5 am!!!!  (whines)  Crying  LOL!

what do you girls do?

Re: when do you execise?

  • I work from 8-6. I come home and immediately do the 30 Day Shred or whatever I'm doing that day. If I get into playing wth Aidan and snuggling I won't ever work out. So I come home, and before I even go see him I work out. Then afterwards it's family, dinner, etc time. Smile

  • What about on your lunch break? I practically lived at work (6-5) so I would do it on luch. I would do 20 mins cardio, 10 mins weights.

  • My goal for the month is to work out twice a week. I get up and go super early one day during the week and one day on the weekend.

    Next month, I'm, hoping to get up to 3 times a week.

    this.

    DH has tried to start a routine though. When DS wakes up I feed him, DH changes his diaper and puts him in his swing or on his mat for a little "play" time. While DS plays DH works out with a Wii program.

    This... I get exercise when the only thing that will soothe DD is speed walking in circles around my living room at 4 in the morning. ?

  • With my first - I used to do it right when we got home - we'd go for a walk or run with a jogging stroller.  Then when it was colder, I'd work out while he hung out in his bouncy seat as soon as we got home.  Then as he got more mobile, I'd do it when he went to bed at 8.  Or have DH give DS a bath and do it while he was bathing (30 min to bathe and get him in his pj's).  Then it changed as he watches TV at 7, so I'd do it while he watched TV.  Then I got pregnant w/ #2 - and now I'm not 6 weeks post pardum yet - so no exercising for me yet . . . .

  • Oh I must be so lazy! DD is almost 3 months and I still haven't exercised. She's just settling into a routine and I want to nap when she naps ( she takes very short naps) I really would like to start a routine
