Good stuff – Personally, I’ve found that the home gym doesn’t work for me between the kids, wife, phone calls, etc. I hit the gym first thing in the morning because scheduling conflicts are much less likely at 5:00 in the morning. It also helps that I’m paying a membership. I’m much less likely to skip when I know I’m paying for it. And you get to know the people in the gym. They’re not going to bust your chops for missing, but it does seem to add a small bit of accountability, even if it’s only in my head.

Thanks for the site.

“Make it a priority” … Yeah!!

Don’t go overboard though. If you love beer more than anything in the world and are reasonable shape then you shouldn’t be afraid to open a beer once a week, right? Once a fortnight? Let the workouts change your life for the better, not for the worse.
The point is… Make sure your priorities are in order, and then ensure that you do the things with the highest priority!

Thanks for the extremely helpful article, Jason.

Here’s a couple more ideas:

1) Combine travel and exercise, for instance I like to rollerblade home from work – the commute is a bit longer but I save time by combining them.

2) do what you feel like doing for your energy level and mood at the moment – as long as it’s something. (This is my secret to healthy living ;)

Hope these work for others as well as they did for me.

Thanks again and keep up the valuable posts!

Lol! 14 hours a day… That would really be insane. I also wondered a little when I saw that! Glad that it was per week. Still a lot though.

RT- Whoops, I meant to type week but typed day instead. Yep, the study says that the average American watches 14 hours of TV a week.

That’s 14 hours a week man!

I’m not even awake for 14 hours a day!

Hi Jason

All pertinent points, I particularly relate to working out at home. And, I like the idea of cutting down TV time.

Mike- Thanks for adding #11. Really, that’s a great idea, and I think I’ll try it sometime when I’m dead tired.

Sean- Great approach to reading what your body is telling you. It’s tough after a long day of work.
