How do you find time to exercise?

So even before I got my BFP I struggled finding time to exercise. Before kids I would do crossfit almost daily *and I miss it so much!*. The problem is that my husband is a firefighter with a rotating schedule so I can't commit to particular day. I work 10 hr days so I can have a day off during the week but once mid week and weekends doesn't seem like it will be enough. And I'm so tired when I get home from work. I borrowed a treadmill from my parents to use during my pregnancy but have I used it? Not even once! It's pathetic! I'm getting really annoyed with the weight i've gained too...so depressing.

Re: How do you find time to exercise?
I got an elliptical for xmas and really want to excercise more, but first I have to assemble the thing. uggh
I find it hard to make it out to a gym or class too, so I work out at home. I mostly go running outdoors with DS in the jogging stroller, but sometimes in the past I've done workout videos at home too. I used to work out before work, but I recently changed my schedule to 7 to 4, so now I run after I get home.
Ditto pps though...at this stage in your pregnancy, any gentle activity, even walking is great, so go easy on yourself and don't worry too much about the weight until you deliver.
I exercise myself and my wallet by going shopping.
1-2 hours of consistent walking/carrying bags really puts a sweat on.
Try to repeat 1-3 times per week.
Remember to have a snack - a bun, chocolate bar or whatever and something to drink mid session to keep the high paste going
It doesn't really work like that. Exercise doesn't help you digest your food, and you're not really using calories that you just consumed anyway. For optimal nutrient partitioning (using protein to build your muscles and using body fat to fuel your exercise), it's actually better to exercise BEFORE you eat. I can't imagine doing any serious exercise on a full stomach anyway. I would end up throwing up (which would probably be effective though!).
Op, I don't find time to exercise, so I feel your pain. Unfortunately I just haven't made it a priority in the last 2 years (and I doubt the next two will be much better). Any chance you can work out during your lunch hour?
I take Griffin to the daycare at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week and just do classes there. But I am SAHM so that's not too difficult for me. Can you work out on your lunch hour at all?
I also used 30-day Shred from Jillian Michaels when I went to lose the baby weight from last time, and it was amazing! I only did it 3-4 times per week (during naps) and it helped me get back down to my pp weight (and then some).
