I work so late that getting up early and going for a run just doesn’t suit. I’ll figure it out.As a parent of two young boys (3 and 6) I can attest to this.
What works for me lately is exercise in the morning. Before the kids and wife get out of bed, between 06:30 and 07:00am I go for a 3,5km run every other day. I never really liked running but I have been able to slowly increase the distance to 3.5km. I want to work my way up to 5km. The 3.5km run only takes me about 20 minutes and I feel great afterwards.
Then, the same day I run and around 11am I do a 15 minutes exercise on a yoga mat to strengthen my core and upper body. Together with the running (legs) my whole body feels strong. Please note that I'm tall and thin so I'm not exercising to control my weight.
So together that's only 35 minutes of exercise and enough for my body. I guess you'll have to find the right balance that works for your body.
3 and 6 eh? Mayhem!!
