I find it easier to exercise early in the morning or during the night time. Its all really how bad you want to exercise because if you really want to do it you would, even if you make little sacrifices.

Apply Pomodoro technique – set a timer, for example 25 minutes, then fully focus on your work in that 25 minutes, then set 5 minutes to rest, stretch, walk around. Then return to the 25 minutes work, there’s many variants of the Pomodoro technique, you can check it more online.

Start with small little goals for yourself and work your way up. Treat yourself for every little goal you accomplish no matter how small.

Good question! When I’m in class I tell myself, if you’re bored, try to improve with your note taking and add flare. you might not have a job where you’re taking notes, but you can make sure to stay focused for chunks at a time, then take mental breaks, and add your own personal flare to your task.

i work during afternoon and evening and i must stay on a chair all the time, so i do stretching (10m) every morning and if it’s not too hot and i am not too lazy i also do my workout (30m) – i also walk to reach my job’s place (20m)

First I drink a glass of water as soon as I wake up, then I try to exercise in the morning, after that I take a shower and have a high protein breakfast and a huge cup of coffee then I’m ready to work!

I developed the habit to work out every day at the same time after work. Apps are helpful in allowing me to be able to do it consistently and wherever I might be. After the first week it just comes natural to end the work day with a nice workout session!

A sedentary job doesn’t mean that when you finished it you can’t go for a walk, go to the gym or make the gymnastics programs in your house and get the energy you need…
