My children are also young (two under 5). It is incredibly difficult to find time to exercise. I play soccer one or two nights a week after the kids go to bed. It can be exhausting to do after a long day of work and kids, but it's worth it. I think yoga is a great idea too.
Other ways I try to maintain my health:
- I keep a pull up bar in the bedroom. It makes it really convenient to do any sort of physical activity. Even if it's just 10 pull ups a day.
- Spend time with your friends and family with and without the kids. This is the best thing for my emotional and mental health.
- Flexibility with my job helps my energy level exponentially. Being able to work from home and minimize my commute is incredible. And the ability to help my spouse (she works part-time) with the kids throughout the day instead of cramming it all into a few hours after a long day of work when you are already exhausted.
