actually only takes me an hour to all this along with proper nutrition, I which enables me to get most out of the simple excercises. On the otherhand thanks for sharing |

Lack of exercise is one of the worst things about being on the computer 12 hours a day! You have to take the time to make it a priority or otherwise it will just keep getting pushed out of the way for other more 'important' tasks.
We do P90X and swear by it. It's the most kick butt exercise program I've ever tried - DH too. He can't stand exercise videos but these are different. Oh and from a marketing standpoint? If you did a blog on P90X it would probably be a huge hit. It's one of the hottest things in exercising today because people see results. It's not for the weak though - definitely don't try it unless you want to really push yourself. It's one of those, I hate it... but I love it! |

I'm an old fart.
So, that means I've seen a lot of stuff (Fads) come and go. Common fact is, you need to 1) move enough to challenge your heart.2) do it regularly Pretty simple plan. Covert Bailey, odd name but, a knowledgable guy as far as exercise and fat loss is concerned.i Main take-away from his info is,regular exercise which has 1)steady work and 2) sprints will get you fit and burn fat off. Sprint could mean run faster for a bit then jog or it could be do 15-20 fast reps with a kettlebell, really not that important. Also, your goals determine you type of exercise. If it is fat burning you exercise in a certain heart rate zone. If you wish endurance for sport it is a different zone. To burn fat the most effective zone is 60-70% of your "Maximum" heart rate. That is determined by subtracting your age from the number 220. Actually there are more complicated methods that are more accurate than that but, it is close enough. I used to sell exercise equipment. I was a bit unique in that I really wanted my customers to succeed. Because of that drive, I would research how I could help them achieve their weight loss "with out fail". Utimately, tracking ones heart rate with an accurate monitor will ensure you get your goal, "IF" you actually use it, and actually do the work. I also was able to help motivate obese people using skills I developed with NLP training. In the entire country of hundreds of locations selling the same exact equipment, I had a return rate that was insanely negligible and earned bonuses that were in the top ranks. There were better sales people that sold more but, the had far more bounce backs than I. We only have one life to life unless someone is hiding something from us so, get off your butt, toss out or at least turn off the boob tube. Of all the countless hours of TV watching how much ultimately give your more benefit than mindless sedation?! Enough, reading about losing weight. Get up, get out and get going! Shame on you if you have children that are overweight! Get them fit too. John |

Hell yeah I workout every day (try to at least) because sitting at a computer 24/7 is horrible for your body and your health. Even if you just take a 30 minute walk / jog it will do you wonders, if you aren't going to really exercise at least to cardio

Exercising takes a lot of discipline especially if you're someone who prefers to be on the couch all day. It's all about getting your mindset straight and telling yourself you wanna lead a healthier life.

Hi all, I live by the coast and for me a long walk by the sea refreshes body & soul. Getting outside in natural light for a while every day works great.

Excerising is life. Sitting at the computer at all day is horrible for your long-term health. I suggest taking all of your breaks outside - get fresh air, mediate, and think about what you can do better!

Hi everyone!
I excersise 5-6 days a week, in the morning. First I excersise my mind through Meditation 15-30 minutes. Then I weight train or do plyometrics with Chelean Extreme by Beach Body. It's like the lighter version of P90X. I find that if I don't work out, it's harder to focus and get the job done when I jump online. Anyone else have that problem? |

A great workout always warms up my brain and gets my creative juices flowing. I get a lot of ideas while on the treadmill.
to add to this, DRINK WATER!! If you can get into the habit of properly hydrating yourself, you can really get better results. You'll have more energy, better health and metabolism. I regularly drink about a gallon of water a day. Studies have shown your brain works far better when it stays in a nice bath of water. One of the things I do to keep myself on task is, everytime I look at my water bottle, I take a drink. No matter what. Soon it becomes habit! |

I do some stuff regularly, but not at the comptuer.
I do BJJ twice a week, wrestling 1 a week, boxing twice a week, gym 3 times a week, try go swimming 1 mile at least once a week. sometimse some intervals. yet it's not while I'm at the computer - I go for regular workouts and training sessions. this is something I always wanted to do, but never could afford due to working hours. now it's all pretty flexible, so it's like a dream come true.

That eye exercise thing is great. I also do Ferris wheels where I make big circles with my eyes.
These techniques are originally from the Bates Method |

This is sooo true..
I've been letting myself go, turning into a slob (its starting to show) I still do pushups though, with my legs elevated (harder, esp at 225 lbs) and other workouts that require no weights. I really need to start running again though!! |

Allot of good advice and fitness tips here.
For those of you doing the P90X thing, you are all awesome physical specimens. After watching their advertisements on TV, one thing did seem clear to me. Unless the box includes instructions on rolling back my age to the early twenties when I was in better shape, their workout might actually shorten my life span instead of lengthen it. The bottom line for me is that I remember to move long enough and often enough to get oxygen into the blood stream and then pump it to my rapidly diminishing brain cells. For that I prefer walking 30 to 60 minutes per day, at least five days per week. It's also a good time to think, or listen to a seminar on my MP3 player. Also, I find that it is important to stretch out after walking to avoid back problems as a result of sitting at the computer all day. Mike |

That's a really good point. My mate is training to be a fitness instructor and he is testing routines on me. I'm kind of like his little guinnea pig...
Anyway, last week he nearly killed me but it felt awesome to push my body beyond the 'sitting at the computer' position. Here's to more of it |

I need exercise on a daily basis, otherwise I get depressed and I can't think clearly. Exercise always makes me feel euphoric and gives me the energy to devote my time to affiliate marketing.
I swim, do pullups, pushups, some high kicking like in taekwondo. If you are all sitting at the computer, and want a quick exercise that can be done at home, you should try burpees: 1. Do a regular bodyweight squat while letting your hands touch the floor. 2. Transition to a pushup position at the top. 3. Do a pushup. 4. Get back up into the squat position 5. And JUMP! As high as you can! You can search for 'burpees' in Google, and you will see what I mean. These burpees will kill you if you are a newbie, but if you do them religiously, your fat will be stripped off your body! At least that's what happened to me. Take care and exercise to your heart's content! |

I walk from my place to the subway, to and fro takes me about half an hour. That's my daily exercise!
And I've just started playing tennis twice a week.It's definitely good to exercise because when you're always in front of the computer, you're almost like a coach potato just that your fingers are doing lots of exercises! :P |

Just a quick tip - if anyone is nervous about going to the gym because of how they will look or what they know - DON'T BE.
The belief that I would look like an idiot in the gym is what kept me from not going for too long. I have never met anyone in the gym with an attitude - maybe I am just lucky, but even some of the most shredded guys in there would answer my questions, spot for me and help when they could. If you do something stupid or dangerous they will tell you. I just wanted to let people know that because that nervousness kept me out of the gym for too long. |

Now this is really more interesting to do start your work daily with a warm up exercise. I might try your advice for a quick daily exercise before sitting in front of your computer to start a day of work.

This is a really interesting thread. It's nice to see so many active people here.
After working from home full time on IM, I found myself getting a little soft around the belly for the first time ever. It was quite the wake up call, as I used to bike a hilly route to work 4 days a week 30 mins each way and was pretty hard. The answer I found came in 2 parts: 1) Decide to. A cliche I know, but really, it works. No "I'm a bit busy so...". 2) The "Seven Minute Secret". If you're feeling buggered, commit to just 7 minutes. Chances are you'll get into the swing of it by then and continue on. It works, and not just for exercise! Here's one tip for joggers here. Jogging at a steady pace is pretty inefficient. Try interval-jogging, something like one minute normal pace, 30 seconds fastish, repeated to make up your 30 minutes or however long you jog for. Or do it via distances: 2 street lights at normal pace, one fastish. You'll burn more calories and get a lot fitter. Really, truly, efficient. Good luck all! |

Exercising is very good for your mind and soul but I also found that taking a 48-72 hour mini vacation once every 2-3 months is also good for you mind and soul and this recharges your emotional battery.
Last year, I used to go to Niagara Falls for 2 days without my laptop and it did me a lot of good. I will probably go in a few weeks again to recharge my emotional battery since I had a tough few months in my IM business. Tal |

Every day at least a brisk half hour walk. The rest is diet. Though I'm looking at getting back into weightlifting, I'm happy to say I've lost and kept off around 15 pounds. This is why I love summer, so bright warm and cheerful, just makes you want to get out there.

Exercise helps a lot by improving the blood flow to the brain. In my view, exercise is all the more helpful if it involves change of scenery as well. Therefore I always go out in a park to exercise instead of exercising in my room. In any case, if I spend too much time in the room I feel the walls closing in on me.

I have benched over 400 pounds for reps, and do a body builders work out I also run 6 miles every other day and do sprint repeats on the track and I 'm only 212 pounds and 6 foot 2.....doing 100's of pushups won;t build any solid strength....you need heavy weights....and keep progressing to higher levels...then see what you can do.
I know there's a few guys in warriors who lift weights.....so I am not the only guy....Take care |
