Winter in Chicago has not been vicious but I’m still more comfortable exercising indoors! I’ve been MUCH busier so far this month as I took on a short-term writing project. I am working a high number of concentrated hours to get it done and have fallen into a pattern of messing up my sleep schedule! I’ve always liked working at night and I’ve found myself still up and writing till 3 and 4am!!
You can’t really be “too busy” to exercise because putting some physical activity into your day will keep you far more productive! I feel the nervous energy building up in me if I don’t work it out!! To keep it time efficient, I get out on the stairs first thing when I get up. Throw on some clothes, get washed up, get in a good quick daily stairclimb!!
I am keeping my kettlebells here by my desk so throughout the day I pick up a heavy one and get in some swings! No matter how busy you get, make the time to exercise and you’ll be more productive all day!
