Busy people: How do you Schedule time??

these are all great suggestions. but i work with people and i know that if i do a hard workout that makes me horrible and sweaty, i've got to shower and sort myself out before i go back to work. that takes an extra 20 mins. the only things i can think of that won't make you horribly manky are cycling and walking. can you bike to work? some days i drive to work but run home, then the next day i'll bike in and throw the bike in the back of the car.
i also have a cross trainer that i picked up off ebay for $20. 20 mins doing intervals on that while listening to the prodigy certainly works up quite a sweat!

I hear you! Three months ago I was trying to workout, finish my degree, plan a wedding and now that its all behind me I only feel like relaxing and reading books. I'm fighting to get my motivation back! Stay strong and you'll figure it out!

I don't have anything new to add, just to say that you are not alone in a nightmarish daily schedule. Fitness in a 24-hour day takes committent and prioriizing. Something has to go, you simply don't have time for everything. You must also learn to be flexible and take advantage of the time that you have, not the time you wish you had.

I give myself workout options with flexibility for workout times and take advantage of what fits from week to week. This is necessary with working two jobs, a flexible job that I do from my home office, and a night shift for a large corporation, resulting in a 60 hour work week, some weekends required.

I do one big weekly grocery shopping trip and do 90% of my prep on the weekend, portioning and prepping all my meals for the week. This way all I grab and go instead of eating unhealthy "I have no time to cook" meals. I shop for nutritious frozen items.

I work in a very large building on the third floor. If I park my car as far away as possible and take the three flights of stairs, it is 0.25 miles in and 0.25 miles back out. Every step counts! (But it sucks when it is pouring rain....)

Remember that adequate sleep is very important. Take a multivitamin.

Riding my bike to work takes only 10 minutes longer than driving. My plan for this summer: I belong to the on-site fitness facilty with a a towel service and the ability to have a dedicated locker. I can leave toiletries and grab a quick shower, thus I can cycle to work most days.

My day: 5:15 a.m. the alarm clock in my bathroom goes off. Since I have to get up to turn it off, I stay up and put on my workout clothes, grab a bite to eat, start the coffee pot, and go to a 6 a.m. workout. Home at 7:15. Computers in my home office get revved and I fix my real breakfast. If for some reason my a.m. workout cannot happen, like a big deadline that morning, then I head to the office at 11:45 for the on-site fitness center noon classes and shower there. I put in my shift, which ends at 8:30 p.m. If it has been one of those days then I work out after my shift. Home, dinner, a moment to catch up on the computer while I eat, and crash by 11:30. Rinse and repeat.

What I don't do: Watch much TV. (A DVR is a must!) Do a lot of social media and texting. Date very often. The bane of working nights... If It's a really busy week I skip housework too. The dust doesn't bother me. I would rather be fit and happy than make my bed every day.

If I have time to do two workouts in a day I do, because I might not be able to work out at all for the next three days.

I only work 40 hr/week but I have a 2 and 4 year old so that's like a whole other full time job! I wake up at 4:30 or 5 am to jog before work. I pack a gym bag and take that to work and I change before leaving to pick up the kiddos. We head straight to the gym after work; they love the kids club at the gym so that is a huge bonus. Fortunately, I get off work at 3:30pm so even after the gym I'm usually home by 6pm. I just don't think about it if that makes sense. Working out is not an optional thing and when I do find myself thinking about it and talking myself out of going I remind myself that I NEVER regret it. It's tough finding time with a busy schedule but it is possible!

Echoing the other early risers. I just checked my calendar, and I have worked out 7 times in January. Not as much as I'd like, by any stretch, but I am doing it. Similar schedule: 50+ hour workweek, working on my masters and small children at home. Both my husband and I travel for work as well.

On a good week, I am up by 4:45 and out of the house by 5:15. My work clothes are in my gym bag and my workout clothes on the floor next to the bag, so I put them on as soon as I get up. Workout and shower at the gym and at my desk by 7:45. I do stand at my desk, which if it doesn't help, certainly doesn't hurt either.

Job #2 once I get home, kids in bet by 8, me in bed by 9. Rinse, repeat.

Cut out the easy travelling - walk if you can even just one bus stop before hand or car park further away. Little steps make all the difference because you only need to cut 500 cals a day to lose a pound.

You also need to wake up earlier and get the exercise out of the way so that a busy day does not ruin your desire to exercise.

I get up at 6am most days to get a workout in before work. I have the flexibility to work my 60 hour weeks so that I can hit the weights M, W, F morning, yoga M night, Tennis TH night and stadiums F night. I might get an extra run in on T or Sat. I don't have kids or pets etc and my fiance works as hard as I do so that makes life easier. I used to feel tired all the time, now I feel great. I know it sounds backwards but it will make sense if you stick with it

I work full-time and have two kids (my husband does lives far away now). I am not a morning person, wake up at 7:45 and leave home at 8am, dropping kids at school. Then go to work till 3pm, pick up kids from school, drop them at the pool for swimming practice and go back to work for couple more hours. Pick up kids from the pool at 5:30, make them dinner, do homework with them and go to gym from 8 to 9. Then work from home till 11pm or so.
