I hate it, but can't make myself do before work ( I have to be at work at 6 am). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385543 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:33:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1385543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the mornings (get up at 4:30) or at lunch. I also like to sneak it in at least once on the weekends to get a good, long workout in while DH watches DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385535 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:30:27 +0000 Mommy Finger 1385535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake up at 5 am to get my work out in. It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385420 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:00:13 +0000 Smurfette 1385420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After R goes to sleep at home. I cancelled my gym membership since I could never go at night since DH isn't home. Too hard to go during the time they are open in the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385391 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:56:22 +0000 SupernovaJ 1385391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>during the warmer months i try to do my workouts in the mornings - 6.30-7am. i just drive to the gym that's about 2 miles away, then come home and get ready for work. during the colder months, i just go right after work on the way home, usually 7-8pm. it's tough because it throws off my dinner schedule and eats up the free time i have after work, but i try to make it a priority otherwise it would never get done. i aim for 4x a week. if i can't get out of the house, it's YouTube videos all the way, which are just as strenuous and you can't make any excuses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385390 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:56:18 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1385390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>early mornings and if it doesn't happen, I go after LO is down (8pm).<br /> Sometimes, the roads are bad. Those days, I stay home and work out to Jillian (ugh) and then follow-up with a treadmill jog during LO's nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385389 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:56:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1385389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, unless you count walking to the grocery store with the stroller. </p> <p>I'm a SAHM and I'm considering joining a gym that has childcare, but the one nearest me charges $8 an hour for the babysitting, and sadly, that's probably enough of a dis-incentive for me to not go. There is another gym further away that has a flat fee for unlimited childcare per month-- I feel like i might make more use of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385387 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:55:57 +0000 Freckles 1385387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I now try to go 2x a week during lunch time when i work from home, and i go 1x on the weekend. I also do squats and planks when i'm waiting for LO to fall sleep. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385385 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:55:09 +0000 lulibee 1385385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently just working out during one of his naps, usually the afternoon one. If he seems content, I'll just put him in his bouncy, and workout while he plays (but only if it's a short video) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385381 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:53:44 +0000 Tidybee 1385381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: you're amazing! Before having DD I could get here around 5:30.<br /> When I was working, I plain didn't work out except for weekends. Now I work out every dy because my gym has a kids section for DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385374 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:51:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 1385374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Morning at 5:45 (on our at home elliptical) or at night after E goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385328 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:37:58 +0000 maybebaby 1385328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really impressed with moms who make this work. Maybe if we had a better sleeper or I wasn't trying to maintain my sad little supply I'd find it easier to prioritize. For now sleep, eating and getting to work on time are my priorities when I'm not with LO. You ladies are an inspiration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385324 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:36:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1385324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the evening before dinner. I prep dinner and have something simmering when DH gets home. Then we work out. After we're done it takes me another 15 mins or so to get dinner finished. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385316 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:35:28 +0000 Running Elley 1385316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: You totally get used to it! On my spin class data I get up at 4:15 or 4:30 to nurse before I leave and I have more energy those days then the days I sleep in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385291 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:28:27 +0000 blackbird 1385291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten up at 4:30 and 5:00am to work out, and you do get used to it! I watch tv on my elliptical. I typically go right after work, though, and during E's first nap on weekends. Sometimes i do cardio in the AM, then weights after work, if i'm crunched on time</p> <p>I hate going at 7 or 8pm! I've done it a few times and I am just WIRED for hours!!! I like my 9pm bed time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385290 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:28:25 +0000 Boheme 1385290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband works til late 6 days on, 3 days off, so I go when the babe is asleep on his days off, and I go early in the morning on my days off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385287 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:28:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1385287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both don't want to wake up in the morning, so usually at night after 8pm (I need time to digest dinner). The pitfall is that it's easy to feel lazy &amp; stay in instead.</p> <p>I also take a class by myself Sat AMs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385285 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:27:52 +0000 pui 1385285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early in the morning, before work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385282 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:27:01 +0000 Running Elley 1385282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go 4 days a week while my babies are asleep and my husband is home.

I'm find by 6:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385281 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:26:48 +0000 autumnlove 1385281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lunch, after work, after bedtime or before they wake up! I have a lot of opportunities to go....I just need to get off my ass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-find-time-to-work-out#post-1385277 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 16:24:52 +0000 mrsjyw 1385277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works out at 630am 2x a week with his buddy before work.
