When I'm not pregnant, I work out. I was doing OrangeTheory and I normally aimed for a 7:00 pm class on weekdays and an 8:00 am class on the weekends. I don't like getting up super early, especially with young kids. I also ran and I would run at 6:00 am or at night after H went to bed.

Yes and I'm 2 weeks postpartum and I miss it desperately. I had a bad tear and some blood issues so I don't know when I'll be cleared to exercise again. I did crossfit in the morning. My postpartum plan is to do barre exercise to get back into the swing of things (due to class timing and the fact my husband is a morning exerciser so I'll need to go in the evenings).

Yes! 5-6 days a week is what I aim for. I used to workout at night but have been too tired with pregnancy so now I work out at 5:30am. I mainly lift weights and some minimal cardio. Although I do enjoy taking a HIIT class every once in a while for a good sweat.

I'm an off and on exerciser

My work has an on-site gym and spin class at lunch (they have other classes too, but that's the only workout I enjoy) and when I'm being good I go 3x a week. Right now I'm working off site for 9 weeks and doing nothing.

One additional bonus to the on-site/at work workout is it gives me a chance to network with people I normally wouldn't interact much with, including one senior VP who is super into spin and running. So, if anyone has an on-site gym I would strongly suggest checking it out as you never know who you might get facetime with!!

no I always want to be one of those who just lives an active lifestyle, walking the dog and playing around. The only exercise I get now is occasional walks but the kid's hit or miss in the stroller and bike rides. Just last night I was thinking I want to start biking every day. My poor dog though....

I have a spin bike in my basement, the last time I used it was in July, so I do need to get back on it. What tends to happen is that I'll do 3 weeks meeting my goals, but then I'll back off as a reward, which then leads to being back to doing nothing.

I need to start up again though, I've given myself the rest of the month off and will begin in October.

I recently started trying to exercise more, but it's hard. I've been getting up at 4:30 2-3 times a week to do Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 workout video. It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

I also love fitness blender workouts! I'm currently on week 4 of a 12 week program I made. I like to break things up into 3 month programs so I can do before and after photos! Also I've given up my beloved wine, for this particular challenge lol. Im down 5lbs so far, but I can tell I'm putting on a bunch of muscles in my legs. I still have 30lbs left to lose from pregnancy. I really do feel like a totally different person when I'm regularly excersizing and eating clean.

Forgot to add I'm doing it with a Neighbor that's also a stay at home mom so our workout time ranges anywhere from 9am to 3pm depending on the day.

I aim for around 30 minutes/day. I just use YouTube videos. I keep telling myself to do it in the morning before getting ready for work, but I'm usually too cozy to get up and wind up doing it after work instead But at least I'm doing it!!

I run 4-5x a week. I also TRY to do barre, yoga, or light free weights 2-3x a week, but it's usually more like 0-1x a week lol

Yes, I do bar style workouts at home (online or DVDs). I usually work out 3x per week, early in the morning (DH and I switch off our mornings, so he gets 3 and I get 3, and we both take Sunday off). I'm oddly somewhat better at sticking to it while pregnant (after first tri nausea/exhaustion is over), so I've been pretty diligent lately.

I also have a walking commute, so I walk about an hour 5x per week, no matter what.

Yes, I'm a miserable person to be around when I am not consistently exercising! When not pregnant, I do a combination of running, cycling, and/or yoga. Plus other active things (hiking, etc). When pregnant, I usually stick to lower impact after the second trimester...more yoga, elliptical, walking, and hiking.

I workout about 5 days a week. I do weights 2X a week at the work gym (it is really nice!) during lunch and cardio in the mornings or after work-it all depends on DD's schedule and the weather in NC. If it's too hot I don't go after work which is my preferred time.

@Anya: well one time, when DD2 had just started walking, I didn't realize she was behind me and I knocked her to ground with my butt while doing squats. Haha. So now I feel a little extra cautious when they are around. I'm scared I'm going to knock somebody out! Haha

@csross217: When mine was little, I went running right after she went to bed. I just couldn't commit to getting up early when I was already waking up a bunch overnight.

I walk at least 3-4 miles a day. Not sure if that counts as a workout

I've been an intermittent exerciser since LO was born (almost 16 mos ago! ) after having been a very regular exerciser before pregnancy. I just did my first gym workout today & while I got called to the nursery to pick up LO 5 mins before the class ended, I feel like it was SO good for both of us & can't wait to go back!
Eta: I generally walk or plan on gym classes mid morning.

Yup! I've been very disciplined with it since I finished nursing school in December
I do a lot of circuit training, weight training, and running.
I'm pregnant now, so I haven't been as disciplined and only getting there 1-2x a week. I'm just so tired!

@LulaBee: I've found that applying hand sanitizer to my underarms and using baby wipes really helps cut down on the body funk.

Yes, but I don't go to the gym. I like to do team sports but I have to take a break for a while since I just had a baby and won't be healed in time to play this year.
