I am an avid cyclist, so my husband bought me a magnetic trainer to set my bike up on. After the kids fall asleep at night, I hop on and do as much or as little as I feel like! I am nursing the baby so if he wakes and needs me, I am there and don't need to worry about him being hungry.

I used to be a deeply committed, morning-only runner. Then I had two kids – both of whom are up by 6 a.m. Now I “run when I can” – usually 6:30 a.m., or after 7 p.m.! My partner will do double duty so I can get out there. After dinner and baths, the run is the priority.
I also joined a moms-only spin class at the local bike shop. I started when my daughter was 12 weeks old – at first to get me out of the house for an hour, and then to help with getting back in shape post-partum. Socially and caridovascularily fabulous! A great way to meet other local moms, too.

I put my son in his stroller and run along the canal. It's free and easy, and gets us both outside for some fresh air. Sometimes it's hard to get out the door, but I never regret it.”
