When does everyone exercise when you have younger children? My 2 are both at primary school, I used to do a workout or go on the treadmill when they went to bed, but now they are going a bit later it's gone 9 before I get started and it's too late then, youngest is up at 6am.

Could you run whist they ride their bikes?

Or during a work lunch break

Or you go out one evening

Locally to be there’s a class that I can take my 5 year old to on a Sunday morning. It might be worth seeing if there’s something similar in your local area? It’s good for you to exercise but also good for your children to see you exercising and without even realising exercise will become such an important healthy part of you and your children’s lives

I share time with my DH. So one eve he will do tea and bath and I will exercise then the next we swap etc. On we weekend we take it in turns too.

I can’t do the morning cos mine are also up at 6 and I just cannot get up at 5 when they still don’t sleep through.
