In that context, it makes sense that the greatest danger to a workout plan is having kids.

Since my kid was born, maintaining a regular gym workout has been a lifesaver for me.

I find it's so easy to lose sense of time and what is important when you deal with the constant demands of a little baby - having an exercise routine keeps me grounded - it's away from home, something I do on my own, on my own terms and leaves me feeling good about myself.

Finding time to regularly workout is something I'd recommend to all new parents.

It can be great to have the workout- but it only works if you are able to get sleep, which is in large part up to your kid & the luck of the draw.

Yes, but they have their own schedule that can mess that up (especially in the infant/toddler stages).
