The day starts at 6am, no one really gets a lie-in because the kids are just so used to waking up early in the week. But we’ll have a lazy start (as lazy as you can have at six in the morning, anyway) and potter about until one of us will get ready to go to the 8am CrossFit class. We’ve got two cars, so while one of us is at the 8am class, the other one gets the kids ready and drives over to the gym where we essentially swap cars and kids, so the other person can take the 9am class. It just means we both get a workout and a bit of downtime for ourselves before the madness of the day starts.
The kids are really acclimatised to gyms and used to seeing me and my husband working out, because we’ve taken them there since they were born. I got back into training quite early postpartum both times as I felt for me it was the right thing. They’ll watch us doing wall balls or lifting weights and sometimes my daughter will try to copy us. I think it’s important for them to understand Mum and Dad also have hobbies. Sometimes my daughter will see me running around in the warm-up and she just thinks we’re playing and hanging out with our friends.
