My husband does triathlon and trains 15-20hours a week - he gets up before us every day and trains (4.30am - 6.30am). At weekends he does the same but also does more in her nap times. If we go somewhere on a weekend or day off work, he cycles or runs there and I drive. I use nap times to do my own exercise, quite lucky that we have a home gym but even doing like Joe Wicks while baby sleeps is better than nothing.
yeah its a shame his gym isnt open that late so he cant go any later. i guess im just feeling bitter i cant go out on my own whenever i like. i could find a baby workout class but i return to work in jan so will have to rethink after that. might try some workout videos at home and see how i feel
Both my husband & I are gym goers. Since I’m a morning person I tend to go in the mornings (between 5-8am) so he has the little one before going to work and he gets evenings to go to the gym but on days I’ve evening classes like swimming he schedules those days as rest days and vice versa
Yes my husband is training for the London marathon so is out running 3+ times a week, plus I want to gym one or two nights a week. If he goes during the week he will generally go after 7pm (so can help with tea, bed and bath etc before he goes). And if he goes at weekends he will go pretty early (like pre 8am) so I just have a chilled morning in PJs with the kids until he gets back and can take over! I do get your point though that if you’re both doing gym in the evenings it feels like you don’t have any evenings where you’re both just in! I try and do gym classes with baby / in the day where I can too so I don’t need to my exercise in the evenings.
