Busy Ladies -- When do you workout?

Sassiesue86

Hi! I'm a mom to a 3 and 1 year old and i call myself a sahm but i also started working at a gym daycare with my kids about 8 months ago so i can get a free membership as well. I go to workout class 2 mornings a week - cardio circuit and bootcamp, they are the most intense free classes they offer and they r worth the hour of intensity and tears;) i also wear a fitbit and that has helped me a lot too. I just hit my first goal weight And inever thought i'd get back here after kids. Its a never ending process of tweeking what workouts ilike and what times workbest but ido know a lot of people come to the night classes after work, make friends in class that become accountability, and that has been a big help to stick to a routine. Hope this helps;)

I get my workout in whenever I can. If I know I have plans in the evening, I have to wake up early to get my workout in. If I have no plans that evening, then I can go ahead and sleep in a little and then workout once I get home. It helps to plan your workout week so you can try to keep surprises down to a minimum.

I don't have time to write much because I have to get to the gym right now. ;-)

Working out in the morning is less practical for me as I lovee to sleep

Honestly, something's gotta give. I work 50 hours/week, have a 4yo son, and am working on my Master's thesis. I get up at 4:30 and hit the gym at 5 when it opens. I have to be home by 5:40, because that's when my husband leaves for work and then I have to get myself and my son ready for the day (shower for me, breakfasts and lunches made, dressed, teeth brushed, and dropped off at school) then I also pick up after work. You have to sacrifice something, for me it was sleep.

This. I hit the gym at 5:30am or after work in the evenings. During the summers it's usually late evenings. Weekends any time of the day. I work 45-50hrs a week. I plan ahead. And I make social plans around my workouts.
