But we have a treadmill at the house so it made it easy to get in a quick workout. Now DH is working longer hours so I just don't work out, although LO and I go for walks some days after work and I just bought a jogging stroller so we can do runs some of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-729512 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:40:20 +0000 dagret 729512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh, L is 3 months old and I'm just starting to get around to thinking about working out again. I didn't even think about first thing in the morning not working b/c of teh boobs! </p> <p>I guess I will have to do it after he goes to sleep, around 8 pm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-728459 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:45:38 +0000 BlueWolverine 728459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is STTN and generally wakes after 8am, when I'm already at the office. I have to pump in the morning anyway, so I'm thinking I'll start getting up earlier to pump and then go for a run. I'm nursing twice a day - once when I get home from work, and once before bed. I pump three times at work. Sigh. So tired of pumping already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-728273 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:04:48 +0000 MamaCate 728273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have still not figured out how to juggle these three things and LO is now 16 months! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-728072 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:15:16 +0000 rachiecakes 728072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like you, working full time, it was nearly impossible for me to hit the gym during the work week while breastfeeding and pumping. I would have either had to wake up super early to pump or nurse and get everything ready for the day or I would've had to have given up some time with DS after work (and probably would've had to add an extra nurse or pump in there, too).<br /> I found that 20/30 minute workout videos after DS went to bed was the best that I could do during that time. </p> <p>Perhaps, giving a look into the future: when DS gave up the boob at 11 months, he was also consistently sleeping through the night. He is almost always in bed by 7:30/8 and I know that anytime after that is me time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-727950 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:02:30 +0000 brownie 727950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't. Seriously my program wasn't offered late enough and I could get the schedule to work. Now I'm back working out usually after bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-727856 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:53:19 +0000 78h2o 727856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just starting to attempt this. I'm trying 5:30. I'm usually not that full though because J is nursing at either 2:30 or 4:30am (or both). Maybe you could pump or manually express a little before working out in the am? Then wear a good bra and pads? I got a sports bra at Kohls that was $50 but works great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-726313 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:32:17 +0000 DillonLion 726313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The latest workout classes at my gym at 730 (my preferred workout of choice) so maybe I will plan to attend 1 or 2 of those during the work week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-726300 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:28:32 +0000 Mommy Finger 726300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My problem is that I have to hop back online after I put DS to bed so working out in the evening isn't an option either. I want to start taking a hot yoga class on the weekends plus go on more walks on the weekends now that its sort of starting to get warmer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-726299 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:28:21 +0000 mrsjyw 726299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work out at night after LO is in bed. Usually right after our last nursing session, around 8pm. If I run errands or cook dinner, etc. then I do all that and then work out late at like 10pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-726297 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:27:15 +0000 cascademom 726297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on doing a late night yoga class around 8pm after LO has gone to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-726293 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:24:02 +0000 mrsmenow 726293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually work out at night after everyone is in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-working-and-exercise-times#post-726271 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:12:46 +0000 DillonLion 726271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When do you exercise while BFing? I am finally thinking about possibly working out again someday in the near future, and am having trouble figuring out when a good time is. </p> <p>I'm a WOHM so I only get to nurse her 2x a day, morning and before bed. </p> <p>I could maybe hit up some of the 5:30 AM workout classes at the gym, but LO STTN and my boobs would be totally full if I go to workout before she wakes up in the morning. And if I pump before I leave, then we'd only be nursing 1x a day? That is depressing. </p> <p>We get home from work/daycare around 630 PM. I guess I could nurse her right then and workout after that? But on those days I suppose DH would be on baby duty and I wouldn't get to spend much time with her before she goes to bed. </p> <p>What do you do? </p>
