When I started on my weightloss journey, I really struggled to find time to fit it in. I have a toddler and work 4 days a week. I work shift work and the idea of getting out of bed earlier than I have to simply does not appeal when I'm on an early shift - so after work was the best training option for me. My partner tries to be home (to bath and put DD to bed) so I can train at a decent hour... otherwise I wait until she is asleep.
It was a struggle at first to fit it in, I'd always find an excuse. NOW, it is part of my daily routine. And when I'm on a later shift, I train between dropping DD off and heading to work.
I also see a personal trainer each week. I try to go twice a week, shift pending. But I have a guaranteed session every Tuesday morning. The gym I see him at has a creche where I can put DD for the hour (and she LOVES it there!). The other session I do is always after work and my partner will pick her up from creche so I can go.
In adittion to home sessions and PT, I see a physio for clinical pilates once a week due to a back injury. This is a great workout on it's own! It is also rebated by my health fund.
I also try to sneak in extra exercise where I can - getting DD out walking (pushing her in her pram is a mega workout!), parking on the top floor of the car park at work and taking the stairs to get back to my car at the end of the shift... 14 flights! I also dance with DD around the house whenever I can. And when she has a nap, I try to get on my treadmill.
