DH works out at 630am 2x a week with his buddy before work. He does one time during the wknd. and sometimes once at night after the babe is down.
I almost always go during the week after the babe is down and go around 8pm?
I also go once during the wknd.

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.

I go 4 days a week while my babies are asleep and my husband is home. I take a spin class at 5am 2 days a week, one at 5:30 another day and I run the 4th day. I'm find by 6:30!

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 & stay in instead.
I also take a class by myself Sat AMs.

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.

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
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

@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!

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.

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!

Morning at 5:45 (on our at home elliptical) or at night after E goes to bed.

@Running Elley: you're amazing! Before having DD I could get here around 5:30.
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.

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)

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.

Never, unless you count walking to the grocery store with the stroller.
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!

early mornings and if it doesn't happen, I go after LO is down (8pm).
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.

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!

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.

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.

After work, around 4 pm. I hate it, but can't make myself do before work ( I have to be at work at 6 am).
