Last time i read this post i was married with no children i now have a month old boy - which is everything i ever dreamt of and much much more. I work 16hour shifts 5days a week but pushing to workout twice a day if possible. rest is important but so is training and both go hand in hand. Keep up the good work mate Hi Ross,

Just a smile on a line of yours: "I’d give up on sleep entirely if I had to for my kids". I would rather give up on TRAINING if I had to for my kids :) Cheers mate! Great post and great man you are.

Really close to home! Thanks! I have a 3 month old son, and everything you've said is true -- trying to be there for the little one really demands a lot of effort and time. It does take a toll on training... hehe. But just like you and the rest of those who've posted here, I try to squeeeeeeze in 10-30 mins of training every time I can. But, if the day is really packed and I can't workout, I jokingly tell my wife that carrying and rocking our baby to sleep for an average of 20-30 mins when I get home and hauling all the baby stuff to and fro the car every time we go out are already my exercises for the day :) Thanks again and kudos to all the parents here who continue to do their best everyday!

Good to see I'm not alone in trying to fit a workout routine with a baby. We have an 8 month old and I can definitely back everyone up on saying that full night's sleep is pretty much out. Maybe once they get older but not for a while. Anyway, I've had to get up at 3:30 am to get my workout in during weekdays. Those of us with understanding baby mommas can also talk them into giving us half an hour or so of training time in the afternoon or evening. Every bit helps. Best of luck to everyone and keep a positive outlook, as parents we have even more incentive to exercise. I'm sure all of us want to be around as long as we can for our kids. And when my son gets old enough I will have in the gym doing some fun workouts with his old man. Thanks for posting this (and everything else on your site) Ross!

We had our third child 6 months ago and maaaannn... he doesn't sleep much that little dude! It's not like I don't know what sleepless nights are since it's my third child but I have the impression that I haven't sleep well for YEARS (my two others are 2 and 3 years old). Thanks you so much for this article Ross. You're not only a true inspiration for me on training but also as a parent! Thanks a thousand times! @Corey March It's been a while since you wrote your comment but I sure hope it's getting better for you. One tip I would suggest to you would be to learn bodyweight training. My wife would kill me right there if I would do medicine ball slams at 6 in the morning! hahahaha I can't even dare thinking about it! Bodyweight is THE best in early morning as Ross suggested. Also check out Roos low tech training with sliders done with moving furniture pads (somewhere on this website...) It's as quiet as it can be!
