Work exercise into your busy schedule

Although I work from home now, it was really hard getting maintaining a fitness routine when I was working long hours at the office. Getting home from work at 5:30pm after a long commute, I was often too tired or hungry to make it to the 6pm classes at my gym. Or, I had too much work to do at home to even think of going to the gym. I still managed to be healthy though -- I was lucky to live in walking distance to my office (it was a 45-minute hilly trek, mind you) so if I didn't make it to the gym after work, at least I walked over an hour each day.

If fitness is a priority for you, there are ways to work it into your daily routine like I did. Here are some tips from Everyday Health:

• Instead of brainstorming projects in the board-room, do it while taking a walk
• Walk to someone's desk to talk to them, rather than phoning, IMing or Emailing them
  
• Write workout time onto your schedule and treat it as importantly as a meeting with your CEO
• Take a walk on your break
