I consider exercise my non-negotiable item of the day. It is the first thing on my to do list and it does not come off till it is done. I review my schedule the night before and figure out what the best time is to workout and then add it in for that day. Being a mom running a business my days are not exactly the same and I am not much of a morning person, so I allow myself the flexibility of when but don’t allow myself out of it. Exercise keeps my mind clear, my stress down and my energy up!

I’m guilty of not having enough exercise. Guess I have to organize my schedule.

Well, honestly I haven’t found time for exercise this past month and I know I should because I am starting to feel the aches of aging! I hope to start jogging this week. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the tips!

My exercise is always scheduled in the morning because I’m a morning person. I still get up and go get water and tea during the day. Sometimes, I’ll take a break and do something completely different. I take more breaks if I’m having a bad day . When I work, I work with a timer.

In reply to Annette. I'm definitely considering trying the standing while working thing. I may experiment with standing by my kitchen island for a bit just to see if it's doable for me. :)

I belong to a gym – this accomplishes a few things:

1. Accountability – I have to sign up for a class that will get filled. By signing up, I know I have to show up because I took up a spot that could have gone to someone else.

2. Working out with people who are better than me helps me get in better shape. They push me to be better.

3. By scheduling the times, I know I will fit it in. With a definite start time, I know where I have to be. Without it, I might just put it off til later (which never comes!)

These are also great things to keep in mind with my business 🙂

You mentioned three of my favorite things: timer, sneakers, and cooking. I use Action Enforcer to remind me it’s time to get off my butt and get moving. I have a fitness blog, so you’d think I wouldn’t need reminded but I do. I’ve also learned that I get more exercise in if I wear sneakers. My biggest problem is eating healthy. So last month I took on the 30 day crock pot challenge. I’m hooked.

I also keep a kettlebell, flat elastic bands, and my jump rope by my desk. I like to think of them as my “procrastination” toys. 🙂
