Gym

This is so random but I need help choosing a gym. Do I got for a Ladies only gym that's open 24/7 but is a 15-20 minute drive away (at no traffic times) Or do I go for a normal gym (closes at 6 at weekends etc) that is a 6 minute drive away ???? Can't for the life of me decide as I love the idea of it being open all...

I've been thinking very wrong about exercise.

Apparently, I just need to walk around the room like a crazy person, aggressively (but safety), rocking my LO to sleep.

3YO running off not waiting

As the title says. Any advice? Basically doesn’t follow reasonable requests like wait, down, stop etc. She is so quick. What activities can I do to target this, I know it’s going to take time. Feel as though I will be doing less and less as I’m becoming so unconfident going out

Miles Circuit

Anyone done the miles circuit? I tried this afternoon but I only lasted 15 minutes in the first position, before getting heartburn and feeling sick. I also just found it really uncomfortable! But if it’s worked for anyone I’ll definitely give it another go! 39+1 and I’m ready for baby to be here now!! 🤍

Tips on getting 2 year old used to gym daycare.

I want to start working out again and my gym has a daycare. We were going last summer when my daughter was 16-18 months but life happens and I haven't been since then.

Fitting in the gym!

Wondering how do people fit in going to the gym/working out? When’s the best time of day? Do you use a crèche or go to the gym when your partner is home from work? I used to love going in the mornings or doing a home workout, but just don’t know how to fit it all in?! And baby’s naps are a little unpredictable…

Is it possible to do Body recomp at home? I want to shrink my waist and grow my booty I have 15 & 20 lbs dumbbells, workout matt, treadmill, resistance band… Or is it better to go to the gym?
