For those of you who have a hard time making your daily workouts, you're not alone. It's not easy working a 10-12 hour day and then heading home to workout, so here are a few tips that can help push you along.
-If you don't have to be at work until 9:00 AM, wake up at 7 and run for an hour or hit the gym for an hour. Just make sure you eat something small before you work out such as a banana, yogurt, small bagel, bowl of cereal, or anything else that is 100-200 calories or 20-50g of complex carbohydrates. Getting a workout in before work can jumpstart your entire day making you more energized. And once you get home from work, you won't feel guilty about lounging.
-Coming from experience, I can tell you that working out after a long day is definitely worth it. Not only do I feel better and sleep better at night, I feel like I can release my days work of tension on a 1/2 hour to hour run. I would also recommend eating a small snack before your nightly workout to ensure energy levels.
-Overall, logging your food and exercise is a great way to keeping a solid routine and it helps with motivation too!
-Just a side note...when you're on your way home from work and the last thing you want to do is go for a run, just remember how great you'll feel after that workout session!!
