My Tips on How to Fit Workout for Long Work Hours

Here are some of the ideas we’ve discussed in the past:

Combine your commute and exercise. Try walking to work or bike to work.

Get exercise snacks. Do small, 5-10 minute bursts of exercise like a brisk walk at lunchtime, doing some bodyweight exercises throughout the day, or more. New York Times He reports that even 20 seconds of exercise can improve your fitness.

Stack your habits. Add an exercise snack to something you already do, such as planking out of bed or squatting between layers of skincare (e.g. serum, squat, Vitamin D, squat, moisturizer, squat, sunscreen, squat).

Plan or socialize – as one reader put it, “find friends who also love to exercise at work and make a date!”

make it easy – one reader stated that she loves CrossFit because the key to her is to make as many decisions “in the moment” as possible. I won’t be exercising if I have to decide the training myself, so going to Crossfit classes really helps – I just have to come and do the workout listed.

make it fun – Whether your training is your hobby (walking, for example), you enjoy seeing you can lift heavier weights, or you love the music and mood of the classroom — make it fun!
