I don't know how old your lo is, but I recommend involving baby. Get creative. My lo makes a great weight, i lift and kiss him various ways. Plus there's tons you can do with the stroller. I also walk/ hike carrying him. He loves it. His favorite is the lift and kiss :-)

Walking with stroller and videos and/or youtube while napping. Take whatever time you can get - 15, 20 or 30 minutes. It's still something.

Good luck, mama!

When my now two-year-old was born, I took lots of walks with him using the Snap 'n Go, then the jogging stroller, but I also found a Groupon for a family yoga place, which included "baby & mama" yoga classes. They were super small - I think the biggest class I attended had 5 mamas and their babies, and two that I took were just me and the instructor. She did some awesome strength moves with me where I used my son as a weight, and I ended up really sore (in a good way) afterwards. I bet there are a lot of moves you could look up online for free without having to find a yoga studio.

Otherwise I did Couch to 5K with my sister when my son was about 6 months old, and we met up at 6AM. My husband was still asleep but obviously could wake up to handle anything that needed handling while I was out (about 45 minutes, since each workout is roughly 30 minutes). Usually I came home and had to attend to the baby immediately (on the rare occasion I was able to shower right away) and would just shower later. Kind of gross, I know, but you do what you have to do. If something came up or my sister and I both decided to be lazy for a morning, we'd sometimes meet up at like 8:30 at night and do the workouts then - she has two kids, so she had to wait until her kids were in bed or her husband could complete the bedtime routine. We always did C25K outside, since we live where it's relatively warm in the winter. In the summer it's insanely hot and humid, so early mornings worked best for that time of year. I also find that running in the dark is great (just wear proper reflective clothing, etc.). Anytime I ran in the daylight it messed with my head because it felt like I was moving at a snail's pace.

Later I started Spinning at a Spinning studio and fell in love with it. Although going to a class meant I was gone for 2-2.5 hours due to travel time, etc., my husband saw how happy it made me and was really supportive, never making me feel bad about going. That was his one-on-one time with our son.

Honestly working out would be really difficult for me if my husband weren't able to stay home or take care of the baby while I did it.

I lost 82 lbs between my "settled" postpartum weight and getting pregnant a second time (I'm still pregnant, just hanging out here for preparation purposes). Keep in mind that food is going to control the large majority of your weight loss.

I have a 20 month old and a 12 week old. I rely on my hubby to help me out. I either get up in the morning and go for a jog, do a workout indoors during naptime (if I'm lucky enough to get the both down at the same time), or I have my hubby watch the boys when he gets home from work so I can go for a jog. Sometimes if the weather permits we do family activities outside at night time and on the weekend.

Btw I don't know about anyone else but my LO tends to pass out in the stroller so it's a pretty stress free outing in case you were worried about that.

Everyone is so right! You have to have the motivation to get out there and do it! My LO is 3.5 months but when I was cleared for working out at 5 weeks, just the thought was exhausting! I started little, only doing 30 minutes per day but as soon as he turned 2 months I bumped it up to an hour. Taking a walk/jog with the stroller is a win-win for me, my son loves it, we get fresh air, and I get exercise!

I rely on my hubby a lot since I am working full time I have very little time in the day to workout so usually after dinner is finished hubby takes over and I can get the workout in then. On weekends I try to take advantage of naps or my older child will sit with her. Now that it is starting to get a little warmer I am going to take my jogging stroller for a spin. For me its all about time management and there are some days where I do not get a workout in and I am ok with that, but I shoot for at least 4x a week if not more.
