Exercise and Motherhood

I have one daughter, almost three and a half years old. Before she was born, I used to workout I wouldn't say a lot but definitely a lot more than now.

Weekdays I work full-time and my only window of time to exercise (with any motivation) is from around 3:15-4:30 the latest. There are no aerobics classes during that time. I've gotten into a rut...
