Definitely makes it much easier to workout when you know all you have to do is throw on sneakers and head down the stairs. Not bad at all!

Exactly! That’s great, Martin. I do the same thing; on Sunday evenings, I write out my exercise schedule for the week and make a commitment to stick to it.

Sarah, that’s fantastic! I love doing OnDemand workouts because I literally don’t have to leave my house

How do I fit exercise into my schedule? I schedule my workout like any other important meeting and make it a high priority. If I waited until I have some time left I would never exercise.

I have recently learned that the best way to fit exercise into my busy schedule is by working out at home – when it is most convenient for me. I found having to travel to the gym in itself was an excuse! Here are some tips on how I’m keeping fit from home: http://wellrounded.me/2011/10/04/why-i-ditched-my-gym-membership/

Nice points. Exercise will also increase your energy level and improve your overall mood in most cases, which has a direct link to productivity. If you can get more work done in less time, voila—you now have time to exercise!

Great article. As a wellness coach and up-coming personal trainer, it is key to find time in your schedule for exercise. It’s all about building a lifestyle that fits around your priorities. The first step though, is making wellness and health a priority.

I hear what you are saying. I too found the title very misleading. I was hoping to read about some sort of secrete. But I It really depends on you and your schedule to find time. I have a crazy schedule. I have a full time job, I go to school part time and I have a second freelance job to do, plus I have to find time for a personal life. I have found that the best way to find time to workout (for my crazy schedule) its right when I get off work and only for 30 min everyday. That is all you need. I go into work at 8am and get off at 4pm head to the gym and get there at about 4:30 and workout (some days I just run for 30 min some days I just do weights….some 15 min of run 15 min of weight….the trick its to change it up everyday and work your 30 min every day) I get off around 5:30 to 6pm and get on with school (on the days I have class) and my freelance job (which is editing). I dont know how your schedule is and how much you are trying to loose. but I would also recommend getting myfitnesspal (which is a free app) to keep track of your calories. I hope this helps. Try this for a week, then try it next week…..and you will get hooked.

Well, you sound nice and all but that title is misleading.
This article doesn’t tell me how to find time for working out even if it seems “there just aren’t enough hours in a day”. Indeed the title shoud have been : “working out when you lack motivation/inspiration”.

Earlier this year I started working out 6 days a week — doctor’s orders! It sounded like a lot of hard work at first, but with a little cardio warm-up and exercises that can be done at home in front of the TV (no less!), it’s been easier than I thought to keep up with. Working out helps promote healing in my case and has been worth it. -Sarah

Hi Jessica! Hitting up the gym before work is KEY for me. It’s 10 x’s harder for me to be motivated to workout afterwards.

Great points! I have a yoga mat and a few good series in my head that I can do for days I don’t get to the studio. You can download a lot of workouts onto your iPod now too.
