First time dad. Was exercising 5-6x/week before baby arrived. First few days have been awesome and hectic. Any tips about transitioning back to workout routine or adjusting to new reality?

Give yourself some grace and time. It won't ever be the same again, and that's okay.

Give yourself time. You can slowly get back into a routine

I’m at 9 months and still haven’t got anywhere close to my previous 5x I hope it’s different for you What I’ve found: Any little bit helps - hour long gym sessions are rare but I can always do 100 squats or push ups in the fleeting moments where you have time

Force yourself to do 5/6 am workouts once the baby is sleeping through the night because later hours become very challenging as the baby’s gets older (for me that was forced because never used to workout before work)

You'll have to wait until about 9 months, but get a Thule or Bob running stroller and take your little one out for runs. You'll hit a 3fer. Exercise, time with little one (you can stop and check stuff out), and give your partner a break.

Find time where you can. I’m still looking for some 9 months in 😆

I took 4-6 weeks off completely. You want to prioritize sleep and helping mom. After about a month or so, I started to work out when I could. Having a home gym makes this easier. At about 3 months I was back into my usual schedule. Congrats!

Experienced this a few months ago with my newborn. When their schedule becomes a bit more predictable at the 2/3 month mark, so will yours. Until then, break exercise into smaller routines. Walks with your child strapped to you also count.

I was at a community CrossFit gym and we would bring our newborns in and could keep the same regular schedule for the most part. If you can bring them it also gets them used to noise. If she was asleep when I got to the gym we both used that as a chance to slide in a quick nap

can you guess when my kids arrived? (excluding the last collapse after covid) it takes time to go back to normal... and obviously the second crash is worst than the first one. managing two kids is not twice as managing one, it' s more challenging. p.s. kids are 8yo and 5yo.

👀 I'm in the same boat. I've actually been working on an ebook about fatherhood fitness because I'm struggling with this so much and wasn't nearly as physically prepared for dad-specific tasks as I'd thought I was pre-baby. My advice: give yourself grace, get it in where you can, babies make for good weights.

Great topic! Finding ways to keep myself strong and healthy detach once in a while was key for me. I tend to be over-engaged - prob different for different people. Taking mini 10m mental breaks. Stepping outside when I felt my nerves going was key! New Dads deserve some Warps and Degen! @degentip !tip @d1ego 500

@d1ego such an exciting evolution in life 🎉 w/ 3 kids (under 4!), the following has helped: - communicate daily w/ partner re: finding time for important things (ex. workouts for you) - be efficient. I optimize for 30 min workouts (mix of HIIT, strength, zone 2) - simple equipment (pull-ups, kettlebells, bands)

The gym membership went out the window when baby came. Getting a bike and some free weights at home made it a lot easier. Now they know they get iPad when I’m on the bike, so encourage me to fit it in, thinking they’re being sneaky for some screen time.

Damn. I used to go to the gym 3x per week before baby. My son is 3and half and I’m still struggling with once per week. Good luck 😅

Congrats man! For me it was non negotiable. I didn’t take any time off and I’m glad i did so. Time w newborn can be long and tiring, knowing that I had an hour to myself made it go by easier. I also transitioned to early morning. Now our daughter is 2 and I’m doing 5a wakeups to lift. Feels great!
