How in the world do you find time to work out?

RockyBalboa

Jul 24, 7:15am

6 to 4 everyday, you are nuts. Start there. Work out on lunch or something

RexIdaCoug

Jul 24, 7:17am

I won't argue with you there. Sometimes I don't start work til 7.

RockyBalboa

Jul 24, 7:18am

WFH?

RexIdaCoug

Jul 24, 7:19am

Most of the time.

RockyBalboa

Jul 24, 7:19am

You have time. Make it happen.

RexIdaCoug

Jul 24, 7:20am

yep. There will always be more work. Put boundaries around your work

WFH? No excuses.

For me, it was just not something I did till we stopped having kids

lol, truth.

RockyBalboa

It's hard, and you're working overtime, which makes it harder! Some strategies:

runnincoug

Jul 24, 7:23am

I do it in the morning, whatever that means. When I had kids in early-morning seminary, it meant I was waking up at 4:45

Here are a few things I do

BikeGuy

When we were raising kids, early morning before work. With kids raised, home

I work out for 30 min during my lunch break. I put a poor man's gym in my dental office basement.

5:15 in the morning, 1/2 hour Peloton, 10 min rowing

RC Vikings

I often work out at 10 or 11pm. But I don’t have all those time constraints you mentioned.

TCuz

Jul 24, 7:29am

I work from 6:30am to 5pm

Sea Chicken

Dude, you have almost 50,000 posts on CB and can’t find time to work out?

Zedhead

Jul 24, 7:31am

There's some truth here. You have to sacrifice something to work out.

byujacob

Jul 24, 7:31am

Yeah 50,000 pushups instead helps builds a healthy ticker.

Q-grr

My work schedule allows me a lot of flexibility. No one is checking my hours.

brazilcoug

Don't overcomplicate working out, especially in the beginning.

Mostlyaccurate

Ride my bike to work. 12 miles each way, half trails, rolling hills. At the end

Hawk in the 303

Jul 24, 7:45am

I work out for 30-35 mins every day at lunch. I rarely skip. Then I eat somethin

Jay Rick

Jul 24, 7:47am

Same way I spend time studying scriptures. I make it a priority and keep it

Idacoug

Jul 24, 7:53am

I do it instead of studying the scriptures. Gotta cut something out.

supertux

Jul 24, 7:56am

or at the same time ... I'll sometimes listen to conference talks while running.

runnincoug

Jul 24, 8:07am

running is bad enough as it is. I can't do it unless I have something interesting to listen to. upbeat music or a really

When my kids were young, I found I’d have to get up at 4am and get to the gym by 4:45

acadian8

Jul 24, 7:58am

I have to do it in the mornings or it doesn’t happen. Maybe try starting work

delux_247

Few things that have worked for me, with a similar schedule:

Junior Deputy

Jul 24, 8:21am

What do you do when your favorite sports team or event is happening that goes

SWKTNative

Jul 24, 9:46am

That doesn’t usually happen on a Sun-Thurs night for me.

Junior Deputy

Jul 24, 9:52am

So you still wake up at the same time on weekends, even if you stay up till

SWKTNative

Jul 24, 9:59am

Nevermind. Re-read that you go back to sleep after still setting your alarm

SWKTNative

Jul 24, 10:00am

That’s just what works for me, yeah. Keeps my body clock straight.

Junior Deputy

Jul 24, 11:06am

No busy church calling thank goodness.

JuicyJam

Jul 24, 8:40am

I work out midday instead of eating lunch

byujag

It's pretty much the first thing I do in the morning and over time its become automatic.

A few thoughts and lessons I've learned the last few years.

Francba

From your description, if sounds like you need to push work and start that at

Mufasa

Jul 24, 9:28am

Sounds like he's needed at home after 4. Chauffeuring and cooking.

supertux

boardname does NOT check out

Czar-castic

Jul 24, 10:27am

Mornings or it doesn't happen. 5 to 6.

Orem58thBall

Jul 24, 10:37am

I don't. It's too much. A 40-50 hour work week leaves too little time for

Mitty

Jul 24, 11:37am

I did my Ironman prep between 4:00am and 6:00am

niqmadu

That's impressive, but feels totally outside my ability to wake up that early

BikeGuy
