In yesterday's post, we recommended working out first thing in the morning to get things out of the way. However, the next best thing to exercising in the morning is to do it on your way home from work, Klein says.
"Don't go home first," she says. "I learned that the hard way. There aren't a lot of people who are so motivated that after they go home and change clothes will go back out again and exercise."
Mettler Center offers many classes for the after work crowd, including Strength class on Monday,
Wednesdays and Friday at 5:30 pm and Cycling Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 pm. These classes allow you to get a quality, quick workout in before heading home for the evening, as well as allowing you to relieve any stress that may have built up throughout your workday.
6. Exercise even when you are "too tired."
Chances are, you will feel better after you exercise.
"It energizes us," says Klein. "You breathe deeply, and your body makes better use of the oxygen exchange. You'll get an exercise-induced euphoria during the activity and for some time after."
Exercising just 30 minutes each day will help boost your overall energy and make you feel less tired. If you really can't muster up the energy to go on a run or jump on the elliptical, that is okay; try doing a relaxing yoga DVD or take a leisurely walk instead - it is better than nothing!
