For those mums with a regular workout routine - when do you find the time? I’m desperate to lose weight and just get back to doing what I love but my LO doesn’t nap very long and night sleep is crap. He’s dependent on me for sleep so even his afternoon long nap he needs me to help put him back to sleep after 30-40 mins.
Between sorting out lunches and dinners for him and me, I just don’t have time. He doesn’t even like independent play when we leave him in his play pen…I just don’t get a break from any angle and I just want to do a quick workout! 😩

Walking is really good exercise. If they like being in the pram try to take them out for a brisk walk every day, you could even add those weights to your legs if you wanted to be hardcore :)

I go two evenings a week and one morning a week. Fits around my husbands work. He also goes 3 times a week - will be a bit tougher when I go back to work but I’ve always been 3 times a week even when pregnant, its just part of life so I’ll have to make
It work. 😂😂😂. It’s really hard when tired etc but you can do it 💙

I do a 20 to 30 minute workout in the evenings after work, when my partner is around to put her to bed. But in all honesty that is really hard to motivate myself because I'm knackered lol. But I do do a workout when I put her down for a nap at the weekend, before I do anything else just incase it is a crap nap. So I usually use her morning nap to do some meal prepping then the 2nd to do a workout. But walking is great on the rest days. It is so hard especially on the days she wakes up more than once in the night, I struggle
Thanks all! Part of it is me changing my routine as well and just making it a point to take time out to myself to do it 😩
