Is going out to workout 1 hour a day too much to ask for?

Question

Serious question. I want to start working out, get a gym membership just to clear my head.. my SO works Saturday-Thursday 10-12 hour shifts. I understand him being tired when he gets out of work but so am I. I’m stuck with 3 kids 24-7 & this mama needs an outlet. My son is 2 months today. Is it too soon? Just want other mamas input before I talk to him about it. To hopefully give me a boost.

Answer

That sounds like a fair plan to me.

Answer

Not too much to ask! My husband works Monday-Saturday and has always given me whatever time away I need! I started working out at 4weeks PP when I was cleared!

Answer

Absolutely not too much to ask! My husband and I strongly believe it’s a need! You need to get out of the house, recharge yourself. The only way you’re going to get out alive is if you allow each other time to yourself everyday, even if it is only an hour. You will find that you are a better mom and a better partner from it. It will help you clear your mind, reflect and regain your patience. And this isn’t just a need for you, but for both of you, so you have to communicate and give the other that time when they truly need it.

Answer

One hour should be fine. But three kids is a lot. I have two kids, and I’m overwhelmed! If he protests, maybe you could work up to the hour and start off with 30 minutes?

Answer

Nope I’m 13 weeks postpartum and my hubby works 10-12hrs shifts 5 days a week and he gives me anywhere from 1-3hrs in the evening to do whatever I need to do plus that’s his bonding time with baby.

Answer

No it’s fine. I’m back working out and if hubby can’t look after the kid, my gym has childminding.

Answer

I just started working out yesterday. It felt SO good, so I definitely say go for it!

Answer

Not too soon at all momma, sounds great to me.

Answer

No i want to do this soon!!!
