Commuters! When do you find time?!

To work out?? There are obviously no 9-5 jobs anymore. I am going on a 2nd intvw tomorrow, in NYC hours are 9-6, which really means for me 7-7 or even later :(
If the $ is good, then its worth it, BUT when will I work out????I cant imagine getting up at 5:00 am to work out or working out at like 8pm. I think maybe working out during lunch would be good or weekends of course. this is a HUGE thing for me......... help :(

Go for the lunch time workout. As all of the experts say, 'something is better than nothing. You can get 2 or 3 workouts in during the week during your lunch hour, and then round it out with one workout on the weekend.

I hear you, I hear you! I'm not even in the business world, I work for a nonprofit, but at the level I'm working at, I need to put in extra hours.

I used to go at lunch, but I really can't do that in my current job. There are often meetings which fall right around lunch, and I can't usually take off for long around then.

I've been going at night, but that doesn't always work out either, esp. if I have plans in the evening. I've been thinking I may need to get my butt up half an hour earlier and do something in the mornings, maybe follow one of the TV exercise programs, or if it's not too cold run or walk outside.

I work out late - sometimes I just stay in NYC to take a dance class so that when I get home I can collapse. Definitely consider the lunch time work out.

I haven't been able to figure a time out that works for me. I used to go right after work at a place by work, but I'd be all distracted when I got there, thinkng I when I needed to stop, to make a particular train.

Then I tried taking a c alss at home & that was ok, but it was at 7:30, so I had mto rush home ( I can leave at 5 but rarely do) & rush dinner.

I'm now thinking of trying a gym at home and goign right after work or maybe after dinner if we eat early enough.

right now i go to the gym on the weekends and do my heavy duty workouts then. but during the week right now i do monday and wednesdays are my treadmill nights after work for about 45 minutes.
i need to get to the gym at least one more day per week.

In theory, this is what I strive to do..

one or two times on a long lunch during the week and both days on the weekends for longer workouts.
