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?

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!

Having a home gym is definitely the way to go. I realize that's not available to everybody, but it makes gym-time usage way easier. Personally, I just never had the energy to even think about working out, I just napped with any free time that I had.

^^this was the same for me. First 1-2 months are a wash because you don’t have any consistent schedule. Then it becomes about finding ways to be economical with your time when you do work out. I miss the days of spending two hours in the gym, taking my time, but they’re long gone.

Thanks. I’m getting 4 weeks off. Realizing fitting any exercise during the first few days is unrealistic with such bad sleep. Eventually 🙏🏻
