Right now though, it is the worst feeling, plus it makes him clingy and kinda off for the rest of the day. Really hoping it is worth it in the long run </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111853 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 00:36:18 +0000 MamaJ 1111853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@legallyheidi: I have a friend that does stroller strides but I'm not if LO would actually sit in the stroller with it not moving!</p> <p>@Mrs. Confetti: this is what I'm afraid of. DH says we will never know how he does if we don't try. But I'm scared!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111762 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:04:25 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1111762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a while I was trying to go first thing in the morning, while DH and C had quality time together... now we are on day two of teaching C to tolerate gym day care. Ten minutes of hysterical tears each time. It is awful. We are doing a two week long every single day gym daycare push, so hopefully it gets him acclimated so I can actually work out instead of sit on the bike and watch my baby sob :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111755 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:59:46 +0000 Sammyfab 1111755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go at around 7pm 3 times a week after LO is in bed. Then I go on Saturday mornings while dh takes our son to swim lessons. In the next few weeks I'll be starting a new job that's P/T so I will go to the gym the 2 days I'm not working, 1-2 weeknights and once on the weekend.</p> <p>I'm super fortunate that my dh is really supportive of me working out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111555 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 20:06:45 +0000 MamaCate 1111555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I cannot figure out when in my day to do it and RH is not reliably home to help...but I have been doing Jillian in the mornings 3x a week for about threeonths. We do it once LO is awake and has nursed and she watches an Elmo playlist while I do it. Some days are better than others but it is nice to do something... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111508 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:42:06 +0000 legallyheidi 1111508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do stroller strides 2-3x per week or I go running with LO &amp; hubs either in the AM or after work before dinner. Rarely do i work out on my own anymore. Gyms are EXPENSIVE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111463 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:23:19 +0000 betsyboop 1111463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. And we have a nice gym in our building. But I have never been there. It's sad, I need to start going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111411 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:47:24 +0000 MsMamaBear 1111411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After work. LO goes to the gym daycare. I try not to stay too long b/c I have to go home and cook, prep for next day. It's tiring as hell and I live for when I'm off and have the luxury of going in the morning. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111381 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:30:20 +0000 Smurfette 1111381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't go during the week since DH travels. So I try and go Sat mornings if we don't have plans. They aren't open on Sunday mornings since it is through a church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111374 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:27:56 +0000 Lindsay05 1111374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have equipment at home so we usually take turns throughout the day to go on the treadmill or do our weights. This was of course before I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111368 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:25:21 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1111368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go straight from work. If I go home first, I never leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111360 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:22:02 +0000 yin 1111360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gym? What's that? If I ever had the energy or time, I would go after dinner. I prefer not to wake up earlier than I have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1111027 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:21:22 +0000 luckypenny 1111027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go mid-day and leave DD at gym daycare. I'm too tired at night and am definitely not a morning person lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110915 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:46:24 +0000 Pirouette 1110915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i currently go in the AM, but LO isn't here yet. I'm hoping to continue to go in the AM when i go back to work, but i know that will be difficult! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110898 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:42:35 +0000 swurlygurl 1110898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... never...</p> <p>We have a workout set-up at home, and if I choose to actually workout, it's after DD goes to bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110872 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:36:08 +0000 travelingnanny 1110872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never go at the same time. Sometimes the baby comes with me and other times I go after work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110755 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:20:06 +0000 podomama 1110755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...that would be never =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110719 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:14:44 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1110719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to go before work 3-4 days a week (and then shower and go straight to work since my house is further from the gym than work), but DH was getting burned out dealing with our cranky toddler all by himself, so I've resorted to going for just 30 min at lunch, 3x/week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110718 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:14:40 +0000 Amelieisme 1110718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go first thing in the morning, before LO wakes up. He is sometimes up by the time I get home, but that's okay...he has daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110703 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:12:23 +0000 LindsayInNY 1110703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO but I go at lunch time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110680 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:07:01 +0000 blackbird 1110680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go right after work (a 4:00 or 5:00 class). I call it daddy-baby-bonding-time... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110630 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:51:24 +0000 sslm 1110630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never? haha.</p> <p>If I had a membership I'd go after she goes to bed... I sometimes go to an 8:15 yoga class :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-gym#post-1110621 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:50:05 +0000 MamaJ 1110621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before LO wakes? After LO goes to bed? Midday and take LO to the childcare at the gym?</p> <p>DH and I just signed up. He went last night at 8 pm when I was putting LO down. I'm not sure when I should go. I could go at 9 pm after he is done, but I just want to sit on the couch at that time! Maybe I just need more motivation ;)</p> <p>I am scared LO is going to hate the gym childcare. He has never been in daycare so I am nervous! </p>
