Tons of awesome workouts you can do at home with very little equipment. You could do these during the day and on the weekends take yourself out for a run! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2452251 Sat, 06 Feb 2016 19:53:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2452251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: yay!! Let me know how you like it :) are you doing the weekly subscription, then? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451721 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 20:52:26 +0000 LilSprinkles 2451721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the week, I get up at 5am and either run outside or head to the gym. On the weekends, I'll run/ go to the gym once I've woken up. I stayed home for the first year after DS was born , and would go running every morning with our jogging stroller. If it was raining, I'd head to the gym and pay the walk in rate for the gym daycare. Or head to the mall, before it opened, and walk 3 miles </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451621 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 19:00:35 +0000 Ash 2451621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I downloaded her app! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451613 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:54:56 +0000 Ash 2451613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: holy whoa!!!</p> <p>So I decided I'll get up at 5 to run before dh leaves for work and then start the gym this summer when it's easier to have people watch my babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451590 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:35:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 2451590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At lunch. We have a full gym with showers and stuff at work, and they offer classes throughout the day. I aim to go 3x a week, but don't always make it depending on what's going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451569 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:17:31 +0000 HLK208 2451569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically workout at home. I either get up before my youngest does to do a workout DVD or I run with her while my other two are at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451564 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 18:14:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2451564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually workout in the morning before work (6am), but if I need to go in earlier, I will wait until I get home (around 4pm). I go to the YMCA, and I love having the kids program for LO. I think it's worth the money, plus we save $ on swimming lessons. DH likes to take him swimming too. When I was a SAHM, I usually took him to the pool 1x a week too. </p> <p>But there's so many things you can do at home too- like during naps? I am doing Kayla Itsines BBG program right now and it's very minimal equipment, high intensity, and only 28 minutes. Look at her IG- the transformations are incredible. You can check her blog or Pinterest for some of her workouts- I'm doing the whole 12 week program and I just finished week 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451470 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:05:52 +0000 littlejoy 2451470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently, I'm working out everyday. I do it as soon as I pick LO up from school. I do Beachbody, which is usually a 30 min program. I can't do it earlier (because I'm working) or later (because I'm worn out). I just give LO some play dough or stickers, and go for it. Sometimes she spends nearly the entire time whining for me to hold her. Ugh. That's hard. It's motivating though. And, and Daniel Tiger makes appearances during my workouts. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451443 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:49:05 +0000 KT326 2451443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the last month I have been getting up at 5am and do a video in our living room. Not gonna lie, some mornings it is really hard to get up. But I just push through on those days and I feel so much better. </p> <p>Since I'm doing workouts at home, I just make sure everything is set up the night before. I move the coffee table (super small living space...) lay out my workout clothes and queue up the dvd on our playstation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451430 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:40:41 +0000 schubr03 2451430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I workout while DD takes her long nap of the day. I do at home workouts so I guess it's easier than going to the gym. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2451426 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 16:38:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2451426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the morning (around 5:15) before everyone gets up. That's the only chance I have, except for on my lunch break at work. It sucks, but it's a sacrifice I have to make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450698 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:28:26 +0000 BandDmommy 2450698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Another option is working out at home. Maybe exercise videos when kids are napping/sleeping? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450688 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:22:42 +0000 blackbird 2450688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: what about buying some equipment on Craigslist? I'm looking for some adjustable Dumbbells for this days I can't get to the gym consistently, like when DH travels </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450678 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:19:36 +0000 Ash 2450678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I agree with @Smurfette: how do you do that???</p> <p>I have a treadmill and that's how I lost the weight after ds but this time around I want more. I also have a double stroller but it's too chilly to take the babies out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450671 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 09:17:05 +0000 Ash 2450671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I was going to sign up at planet fitness for $10/month because the Y is SOOOOO much more. But the Y has childcare which would help. I just don't want to pay $400/year if I don't have to. </p> <p>I could ask my niece to come over but I'm not sure how much to pay her if she comes a couple times a week. Because if I'm paying someone, I might as well join the Y. Right??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450618 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 08:51:51 +0000 ElbieKay 2450618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't able to swing it til 18mo pp. I regret not starting earlier.</p> <p>I augmented our morning childcare by half an hour so my husband can handle our son in the morning. (He needs to leave for work earlier than me, and previously the start time was aligned with when I needed to leave the house.). So three days a week, I get up, commute, work out, shower, and walk a block and a half to my office. I usually get to work a little later in those mornings too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450614 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 08:48:29 +0000 KayKay 2450614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Y has free childcare for 2hrs/day. So I either take them from 930-11ish or from 4-530ish (post-nap). Most days I do the treadmill , but there are some classes during those times too.</p> <p>On days when I only have one kid, and the weather isn't miserable, I will take one in the jogging stroller.</p> <p>Last resort is to do something at home while they have nap/quiet time in the afternoon. </p> <p>Ok, just kidding, super last resort would be to get up and do something before DH goes to work. But his schedule is inconsistent AND he usually is out the door before 7a. I am not a "get up at 4a to workout" sort of person, especially when I have other options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450600 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 08:38:47 +0000 catlady 2450600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently started waking up early to work out (DH and I switch days, so when I am working out, he will attend to LO if she wakes up during my workout, and vice versa). Before that, I had some luck doing shorter workouts at night after LO went to bed, but it was always hard to make myself do it when I was already tired. I'm hoping the morning routine works better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450558 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 08:15:50 +0000 mrsjyw 2450558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These days it's been at nighttime after the kids go down around 8-9. I don't go to bed until 11/12 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450555 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 08:14:46 +0000 BandDmommy 2450555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: does your gym have a kids club? Another option might be finding high schooler to come watch kids for 1 hour why you workout. Or putting both in double stroller and going for a run? Just some thoughts.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450552 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 08:11:02 +0000 petunia354 2450552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get home from work at 3:30 so I set DS up with a snack and an activity/tablet and I work out in the living room. It's not glamorous but I justify it by telling myself it's good for him to see his mom workout! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450544 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 07:59:08 +0000 BandDmommy 2450544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I workout on my lunch break before I eat lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450539 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 07:54:26 +0000 looch 2450539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a spin bike so I can work out at home, I use You Tube for "classes."</p> <p>I work out on the weekends and then one day a week i work from home, so I will end the day a bit early and workout before I go and pick up my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450358 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 00:03:26 +0000 Zbug 2450358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my future life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450347 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 23:44:41 +0000 autumnlove 2450347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I SAH and I work out in the mornings on my husband's off days and after bedtime/before LO 3 wakes up!

DH goes for his run in the evening as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450310 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 23:18:07 +0000 808love 2450310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the weekends I usually work out first thing in the morning because I am a morning person. But not so much that I can motivate myself on work days. So weekdays I usually do it right before dinner (DH is on board and I skip out of cooking) or right around LOs bedtime (I get out of loading the dishwasher.) I workout at home for 25 mins so it is not a huge timesuck. If I don't do it either of those times, I'll do it while LO is in bath or I'll extend her bedtime and she can lull herself to sleep to my workout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-workout-1#post-2450309 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 23:14:22 +0000 mrskc 2450309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yea DH thinks I'm so weird for eating right before I work out.

I'm a SAHM but also work part time in the morning and at night from home when he's asleep so naptime has become my "me time". </p>
