Inspiration after long work days

tr206 Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/04/14	2002/04/27, 09:40 AM Hi everyone I have irregular work hours, somedays I start work at 3,4 5:00am and don't get done with work until 6,7,8:00pm. I just wanted to know how some of you deal with finding the inspiration and time to workout when you don't have a regular life, other than pure determination. I also find procrastination a big problem when I do get the time. Thanks Todd

I train, prepare all my food for the day and work 60 hrs a week! It has too become a priority for it too work. You need to sit down and write out a weekly plan and stick to it. It can be done.

I just know (and feel) when I DON'T train I get veeeery frustrated and restless...... It's not about finding time, it's a must. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

I don't need to procrastinate as the longer it takes me to work out, the longef it'll be before I can eat dinner...that's motivation enough! LOL! -------------- **_Robert_**

I find that if I make an excuse for not going on a day, it is easier to use that excuse the next time. If I do miss a workout, I try my best to make it up within a day or two. You can also split your workout up. If you don't need machines, maybe you can do some of the exercises at work or on you lunch break. Hope this helps. -------------- Lisa
