Morning,

I am desperate to start doing some exercise as I no longer have a manual job and I am getting noticeably fatter sitting behind my desk every day. The only issue I have is finding the time to actually fit exercise into my day! I start work at 7.30 in the morning so I am up at 6 and leaving the house by 7. I don't usually get home until 6pm and then help my fiancé get my Daughter fed and ready for bed etc and also cook dinner. Its usually around 8pm by the time we sit down to eat and by then I don't feel like doing anything! I'm sure I'm not the only person that has no spare time, so what do other people do?

Cheers

Sammo

What sort of exercise would you want do?

How do you get to work? Could you run or cycle part of the journey?

What about your lunch break?

Otherwise, it's a case of getting up earlier...
A bit of running or cycling would do the job.

I drive to work but need to be in a non sweaty state once I get here so running or cycling on the way here isn't ideal.

I don't take my lunch break as I'm non stop with work most days.

My commute is around 10 miles so easily manageable on my bike but as I said its not ideal me being quite sweaty when I arrive as I deal with customers all day every day and we don't have a shower here.

Squats whilst cuddling a baby. Baby will love it. Your legs will hate it, though. biggrin
Hehe I have done this since she was about a week old and she is now 10 months old. I have legs like a 100m sprinter!

I probably do about 60-70 squats while holding her every evening!

I managed some light exercise today. My mrs went out with her mum and aunt and cousins and I had to go and collect my motorbike from my mums so I walked there. 2.4 miles took me 37 minutes. Felt fine afterwards but my knees and back are killing me now!
