I put my kids in childcare for 8 hours to work. I would have no qualms about 1 hour to better my health. I would go 5 days/ week - get them used to the routine and being dropped off. There are some good gyms around here where the child care area is like inflatable fun or gym equipment when they hit certain ages.
Maybe in 6 months you can go at 6:30am since gyms open early. I know it's hard. My little won't go to the church daycare right now even though he did at one point. I always find after a few days of tears at drop off, things get smoother again. But there's always those first few days. And it's generally good for kids to learn to trust that mom will leave and come back and also learn to trust that there are other adults who they can count on to care for them.
