Doing yoga a few times a week is a great way to keep fit and live stress free. Sometimes it’s nice to just slow down and meditate.
Stress is the root cause of most diseases over a prolonged time frame by compromising the immune system.

You gotta plan. Without a design or structure
it gives you an excuse to fail.

Some excellent quotes Chris. Particularly like the classic “he who fails to plan, plans to fail”. It is so true though. If you don’t make reasonable plans to workout more often than not your workout will not happen.

I like the idea of rewards too. Having a hot coffee and a warm bowl of oatmeal waiting for you is the perfect motivation to go for that jog on the cold, wet, winter mornings.

I love this quote: you don’t have to love exercise, you just have to like it more than being fat, feeling bad and dying young.

I think planning the weeks workouts is crucial! When you are in that window of time where you may skip out on a workout because you don’t want to think about it, you have it right in front of you. Follow the plan and you are done. It’s simple, but it can keep you on track for sure!

I like the morning workout in a fasted state as well, but schedule wise I can only get this in on a weekend.

During the week it’s night time workouts but I enjoy them as well.

Also, I like the variety in your sample schedule. Nothing kills determination like doing the same workouts in the same environment week after week.

Talking about rewards, I have a friend that goes on a regular 20 mile bike ride. At the 10 mile point is a local ice cream shop. It’s the highlight of his week.

I prefer right after work. No excuses. And when I’m done, I have the whole night to do what I want.

@ Rob: Nice I like the no excuses attitude. I had a friend who without excuse would hit a workout each day after work its a pretty impressive achievement especially if your working a high stress job must make the evenings feel real good….

Great tips, i hate feeling like i haven’t done what i should, that’s why i prefer the mornings as you say, it leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment and the whole day to relax.
