Check out toneitup.com. They send out a weekly workout schedule. With working and two littles, I can't possibly do everything they list, but I do love their videos and daily moves.

I do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and 6 week 6 pack. Sure, it can get repetitive, but for me it works! I love that its 30 minutes and the repetitiveness means I can measure my improvement easily. The one bummer is I can't have LO in the room with me while do them because they take space and have rapid movements and he gets in the way. I've started doing prenatal Barre dvds which I don't find as engaging, but I can do them with LO around because its very small movements and from what I understand non-prenatal versions are similar.

I have found ways to get more walking in. For example, I take 12 flights of stairs to the lactation room three times a day, Take a route to work that involves more walking, and getting LO outside as much as possible. I also walk the dog during marathon conference calls.

I find I never do videos. The kid or dog gets in the way.

DH and I alternate mornings so that we both have time to work out. On my mornings, I get up at 6 and do a 45 min workout in the living room with a DVD or streaming. On DH's mornings, he gets up at 5:30 and heads out to the gym. The person not working out is in charge of LO during that time. We each get in 3 workouts per week this way (and one day we both take off).

In the past, I have also tried to work out in the evenings after LO goes to bed. I would do 20-30 min 3-5 times per week. That worked too, but I stopped after I got pregnant back in March because usually I'm way too tired in the evenings these days.

I also walk to work so I get 3 miles of walking in each weekday (I know that is not really an option for most people though).

I struggle with this too. I had a post about it last week! I have similar time constraints...so here is what I am trying:

1) 2 workout videos in the AM during the work week
2) 1 Jog mid week (morning or evening - just need to get so gear to light my self up! And 1 weekend Jog!
3) Spin class once a week!

I have Jillian Michaels DVDs and love them all. I also have 21 Day Fix videos and like them a lot!

@hitchhiker: Thanks for this link...looks interesting!

@hitchhiker: I also love MommaStrong!

I know it's hard, and not for everyone - but I swear waking up a little earlier and getting it done in the am is the only thing that works for me. It usually takes about 2 months of dread and loathing, before it just becomes habit, and I'm not cursing my alarm when it goes off..

@travellingbee: I do workout videos on YouTube on my tv right after the kids are in bed. I like popsugar fitness channel and also fitness blender. Sometimes I am only able to get in 10 min but it was better than nothing. Last week I did a 10 min arm workout in my hotel room. Good luck !
