First - don't stress yourself out because that defeats the purpose of going! Have you thought about going in the morning by yourself? I found when my kids were very small 3 things worked for me: drop in care at the gym right after breakfast when they are ready to play, running with a jogging stroller or taking them to the park (toddlers play and I run sprints/ do squats, pushups etc...) Stroller Strides is a great program that incorporates kids and all you need is a stroller and shoes! If you want to do the evenings with hubby you will need some prior planning to make it go smoothly and even the I know my little ones would never make it anywhere past 4:30PM. It's the witching hour!! A babysitter as suggested before would be ideal. I know until my kids were all 1 year old I spent a lot of time with them in a stroller to get in shape. After that drop in care at the YMCA was a God-send and I went every day by myself and dropped those babies in! It was great time for myself.
