Trying to figure out a workout routine to lose the rest of the baby weight after the new year and would love tips on how this works for you!
I used to work out early am before LO1 got up. Lo2 is now sleeping through the night but his wake up time is still unpredictable so I don't think it is realistic yet. I would be doing DVDs at home...,

I do weight training after LO goes to bed! It's working great for us. I get 30-45 minutes to myself, and I'm loving the tiny waist and shapely read lifting is giving me!

I do! I prefer to workout in the morning (usually start by 5 a.m.), but some mornings it just doesn't happen, so I shift my workout to after bedtime (LO is usually down by 7:30ish). Or, I will do part of the workout in the morning (weights or cardio), and then do the part that I didn't do after LO is down.

Great question! This seems like the best time that would work for me, but I am so done by the end of the day. Definitely trying to start working out and get fit so I look forward to hearing what everyone else does.

@BrandNewMom: @pwnstar: thanks! Glad to hear it is working for you. if you have house stuff to do too (dishes, pack lunches etc) do you do those first or work out first?

Work out first! I consider exercise on par with personal hygiene, so like I prioritize showering or brushing my teeth over housework, lifting comes first too!

@BrandNewMom: I think that is the only way it would work. I like the way you frame it--thank you!

@MamaCate: I agree with @BrandNewMom:. I take care of me first. Everything else can wait!

Yes I've been doing my workout videos at night when she's in bed. Once I have this baby though, I'll be rejoining the gym and probably will go during the day.

I like to switch up mornings/nights. Mornings usually set a good tone for the day for me.

I used too, but now that her bedtime has pushed back, I go when she is awake. I run in the mornings.

I wish I had energy at the end of the day, but my kids aren't in bed until 8, and by then I'm way too tired to think about working out.
