How do you manage to not go crazy when you can’t train like before?! Or what’s your secret if you can get the time to train like before??
I’m 10 weeks post partum and I struggle because I can’t fit training in in the same way as before. I thought I would be fine with just getting half an hour in the basic home gym now and an again but I’m not. I feel very frustrated and I want to train in the specific way which allows me to progress and be able to compete at a decent standard. There must be others in the same situation? How do you manage mum life with your training? Do I just need to wind my neck in and accept I’ll have to wait until DD will go to nursery? (Not before she is 1. )That will make me miserable though. A nanny/ childminder isn’t an option. Or is it? Now when I’m thinking about it it may be; getting someone in a few hours a day. Expensive though. We’ve got no family nearby.
Maybe I need to accept it and train between 8-10pm when both kids are asleep and my husband is at home. I go to bed before 9pm usually though and I’m exhausted by 6pm. I’m up feeding several times a night and up around 5am for the day. The gym doesn’t open until 6 and I would maximum get an hour in before my hubby have to go to work and that is if he manages to get ready while juggling the kids..
I’ve always been a high level athlete, not professional for the last 10 years though but I train very hard and with a purpose, doing competitions at a decent level and some in other areas than my sport just for fun.
How do you do it super mama’s?
