Hi, I just joined this team and saw this topic. It's very difficult to find the time to work out between work and taking care of children. I have a little one and use to work full-time. Have you tried to wake up 30 minutes earlier? I have read if you exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, you burn more fat. If you have 1 hour for lunch, you could take 30 minutes to do a brisk walk around your work facility and then have lunch. I think breaking up the workout time, is probably more effective at keeping your metabolism up and you are less likely to burn yourself out from overexercising. I think just making small changes like getting up 15 minutes earlies or walking for 15 minutes during lunch will lead into bigger changes. Anyways, just my 2 cents.

I got out today for some exercise because it was so nice but generally, I don't get to do that. I am stuck behind my computer. Need ideas and motivation to help me fit exercise in and keep it interesting...any ideas?
