How Early in the AM

I have tried tirelessly to do the same thing you are trying to do and get up early. I also get up at 5:30 before the baby.. and I just can't get up any earlier. I go to bed early enough already and I know if I got up at 4:30AM I would never see the hubby again. Sleep is just as important as the excercise.. and as long as you are getting in at least 5 days a week I would say you are doing a great job!!!

I usually workout at 6:30. I found it easy for me to skip if I workout in the evenings. Mornings are best for me.

I get up at 5:00 am. If my husband has to go to work early, it's usually 4:30...

I'm usually @ the gym to start anywhere between 5:00 - 5:30. I'm usually there 60-90 minutes though. With a baby, that would be much harder. I would think if you can work out from 5 - 5:30, then build on as the baby starts sleeping longer, you'll do great!

How early in the morning does everyone work out? I've been doing my exercises in the evening but then find a) it takes up time with my husband which is precious since we have a new baby and b) if anything else happens like a phone call, visit, or working late I can't get in the exercise. I'm already waking up at 5:30 to get ready before the baby and 2 year old wakes up. Anyone go earlier to get it in?

O YES! And I love it. I get up at 4am. But I can't believe i do that!
I would never have been able to, except that I have trained myself toward an early bedtime.
Finally got an early bedtime habit installed in my household.
Now I don't mind getting up early, and I don't miss all that great family time, so I know what you mean!
Plus, I get to eat a relaxed breakfast suitable for me, and am free to serve breakfast to my fam.

I get up at 3:05 every morning. I have to leave my house by 6am, so this leaves me time for 50 minutes of cardio, time to get coffee, do some light housework, shower, and get myself and my daughter out the door, drop her off at daycare at 6:30, and to work by 6:45...work 7-5 Monday thru Fri

What about after the first morning feed, settle the 2 year old with crayons or playdough, or a cartoon. Anything that keeps the attention for half an hour. It's tough with 2. Do you have a double stroller? A brisk walk with that is a good workout. Especially if there are hills you can go on. Top it off with crunches/plank/burpees/pushups when you get home.

I'm like the OP - I get up at 5:30 anyway with a baby - I just can't get up any earlier! I've got to get some sleep - and if I go to bed any earlier I won't get to see my hubby at all! Yesterday went on a long walk after dinner WITH the baby - that seemed to work well. And I try to get in a ride on my stationary bike while by husband gives the baby a bath (it give them a chance to bond since my son loves his bath!). So that's what we're doing now. I'm just going to try to stay flexible and make sure that somehow, someway I am moving every day!

5:30 for me but I have no children at home anymore. When my son was still at home I would have to get up at 4:25 to get my workout in for the day. It was really hard getting up that early at first, but after a couple of weeks it got better and I was actually thankful for that time, because my days and evenings were free from worrying about getting a workout in for the day

I get up at 4:45 am to workout. I have to or I wont do it. Way to easy for me to skip in the evening. I dont have kids though, just dogs. Dogs are at least motivating lol.
