Fathers who go to the gym

[Uachet]

I’m about to be a father in November and the gym is something that is important to me. Now that I have a daughter coming up and no longer living for myself I’m motivated by being here as long as I can for her and one thing is by keeping fit and diet. How are you fathers able to go to the gym and parent at the same time?

Bring the Gym to you. Create your own gym in your house or garage if you are able and have the finances to do such. If not, then you go to the gym early in the morning, before your child wakes up. That way you are not missing time with your child during her waking moments.

Your out of shape wife doesn't have 2 do nothing for her sneaky links; these are the breaks

She in shape. And no sneaky links.

As the baby gets older, maybe around 6mo-1yr, he/she will begin sleeping better. Like everyone else said, you just have to make the time. I have 2 kids (2.5 and 6 y/o) and wifey and I are able to get to it for 90 minutes because we have the schedule set for them. I think it can get easier with time. And think of how cool it is for your kid to know that you took care of yourself. He/she would want to do the same.
