Folks who had their first child in your late 30s or later, how do you stay fit? (lemmy.world)

As the title suggests, what did you do to stay fit/healthy?

I’m struggling the most with sleep, to the point where it’s difficult to focus on work the following day.

I’ve never been very healthy or in shape, but feel like if I don’t start now it will be very difficult to manage in 10-15 years.

Would love some advice/guidance/motivation.

To help jumpstart this community I am reposting questions from /r/AskMenOver30 that I like. The original reddit post can be found here.

I was 38 when we had our kiddo. I used to road bike a 40 mile loop once a week, prior to that. Once kiddo happened, I would walk them in the stroller around the neighborhood. Kind of a hybrid power walk thing. Bit of a lull after they started walking on their own. I worked a graveyard shift once a week as well, so on my breaks, I would hit up the rower and walk on the treadmill in the break room when I could.

I also stopped drinking, and started paying more attention to what I was putting on my plate along with kiddo’s plate.
