It was the only way to force myself to go. Now I love it. I go 3x a week, usually after putting LO to bed,. Lately, though, I've been going early evening before LO bedtime while my husband watches him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82315 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:12:10 +0000 pastemoo 82315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will, we signed up for a year. We actually go to a center that has day care starting at 6 weeks (1 hour only, I think, at 6 weeks), so I will start back at the gym at 6 weeks WITH the baby.<br /> *We will have to pay more every month for the child care, but it's worth it to me--I've already put on so much weight and I know I have a ways to go gaining, so I will really need to lose it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82314 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:03:33 +0000 venice4504 82314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I like going around 2 but that doesn't work with the Kid Care or his naps. We'll be shooting for 11ish when he hits 6 months and can go to Kid Care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82287 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:43:36 +0000 Andrea 82287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go during my lunch break. My gym has child care - maybe sign up for one of those so that it will make it easier to go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82282 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:37:59 +0000 BoogieBea 82282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just reinstated my gym membership but have only been going once a week :( Have to work out a better schedule. Our gym also has child care for 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the early evening on weekdays. It's a very nice perk so DH and I don't have to alternate going to the gym. I've only been going Saturday mornings lately but will try to add some weekday evening sessions. Classes are a great way to "force" yourself to workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82281 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:35:56 +0000 chopsuey 82281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a membership but canceled it. Was able to go to the gym a few times a week, but it was a pain. Doing DVD workouts are a lot more convenient for me.. Cheaper too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82279 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:32:30 +0000 sslm 82279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: The Goodlife by my house has a child minding service, maybe that would be an option too? Then you could go whenever you want :) Especially while you're still on mat leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82278 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:29:24 +0000 heffalump 82278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: If you'll use it you should do it! Can you get a monthly membership, at least at first, so if you don't use it you won't be wasting a ton of money? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82277 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:27:37 +0000 Rubies 82277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I'm not a gym person, either, but I do enjoy treadmilling. I'm about about to buy a treadmill so I figured I'd go to the gym instead. I'll have to keep thinking... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82274 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:23:45 +0000 heffalump 82274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's a great idea!</p> <p>Personally no, I don't have a gym memborship. I can't exercise now due to migraines, but if I could I'd probably just do a lot of walking with LO. I'm not a gym person, especailly after a day with LO because I'm exhausted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-moms-have-a-gym-membership-if-so#post-82272 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:15:50 +0000 Rubies 82272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...When do you work out?</p> <p>There is a 24hour gym close to my house and I'm contemplating signing up. I figure I will do in the evening/night after LO is in bed. I REALLY need to shed this baby weight...</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
