I used to be fit, running, cycling, partner acrobatics, etc. But I have done very little cardio, strength, or flexibility training since our wonderful daughter came along. She doesn’t sleep well so part of the problem is energy. But the main issue is finding time. My partner and I both work remotely, I have a 08:00-16:30 tech job and my partner teaches music online in the evenings. So I’m either working, playing with my daughter, or exhausted. I’m not complaining, I love my life and being a dad. I want to stay fit and healthy so I can be my daughter’s father for as long as possible. I also don’t want to be hard on myself, I know these toddler years will fly past if I’m not mindful. How do other parents maintain fitness? We don’t have any extended family close.
Lots of stress, not much time to eat both reduce the amount of intake, which can help. But if you want to implement exercise you can always go with body-weight since it’s not loud, doesn’t take much room and you don’t need any machines for it. And if you have room for one machine, I would suggest an indoor bike. Burn decent amount of calories, can do it whenever you want and maybe even have your toddler on your back cause the shaking motion might make the kid fall asleep. Or vomit. But that gives life excitement, doesn’t it?
