I live 1.5 hours away as well, so it turns into 4-5 15 hour days a week of sitting still — throw in almost an hour to get ready to leave, and a bit of time after I get home to unwind and I'm out of time to work out.

	<htmltext>Agreed. Get a desk that can raise the keyboard shelf and ditch your chair. Get a wireless headset and wander the building when on conference calls (maybe stay within eyesight of your monitor to watch running pings). Take the stairs. If you're not already, take the bus/train and walk/bike to and from stops. Get a full 8 hours sleep, eat breakfast and take your lunch. Keep a pedometer with you and keep trying to beat yesterday's record. No more soda. Not even Diet.

And speaking from experience, be glad you're not one of the on-calls. Sleeping during the day is a hell of a lot better than not sleeping at all.</htmltext>

Good things, though, are that a) the equipment is right (and here in Seattle, it's decent weather for it most of the year) and b) I like the fact that tracks are measured in nice little increments, so I can fairly say "OK</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>I've been in your shoes...even made it to 300lbs before I made some changes.

[1] Eat small to medium size meals 6 times a day.  It's not about quantity of a single feeding, but quality of what you eat and how often you eat.  Split food into groups - protein, carbs, fats, vegetables.  One serving of each at every meal, 6 times a day.  (About every 3 hours.)  Just get in the habbit of slaming it down at your desk during those 10 minute slash dot breaks.

[2] Buy an adjustable bench.  Not a bench/rack/whatever combo, just a padded bench.  You should be able to adjust the bench to lay flat, and to 45 degrees up.  If it can do 90 degrees up, better, but not necessary.  This should cost about $100.

[3] Get you a decent set of adjustable dumbells that allow you to dial up a weight with slip on, slip off plates.  A good set will run about $400 - $500 dollars but is well worth it.  It should allow weights between 10 and 60 lbs or so.

[4] Buy a $30 book on weight training to learn good technique.  The Schwartzeneger encylopedia is a good one.

[5] At this point, you've spent about $600, less than a yearly gym membership and have something that fits in your place, even if it's a 1 room flat.  You can work out on your terms.

[6] Work out 3 to 4 times a week for 45 minutes.  No more, no less.  You should do 15 - 20 sets of a variety of exercises with 30 seconds to 2 minutes rest between sets.

[7] You can do flys, pullovers, presses, and abs from the bench.  You can have dumbells in hand and step from the floor to the bench to work legs, or dumbel between feet and extend.

If you do this - only asking for a 2.5 hour comittment per week here - you will be exercising effectively and go through some amazing changes.  Me?  I lost 100lbs and now do inclined benches at over 315 lbs.  The personal trainers ask me for help.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>The trick I found is to look at the gym as your own time, like seeing a movie alone, where you get to go and not have to worry about everyone else.
I'm a little hesitant to say relax, but that is the closest term I can think of. Leave the cell at home and just go workout without all the other things that tie you up during the day.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I understand this predicament all too well. And working out substantially is critical to your mental and physical well-being.  Try asking yourself what you can do at the gym in order to save time at home (or the office).  Here is what I recommend:<br>
<br>
- Find a 24/7 gym, or at least a gym with very good hours.  Preferably on the way to work.<br>
- If, for example, you shower in the "morning", then don't shower at home.  Wake up.  Bring a change of clothes on way to work.  Use gym.  Shower / shave.  Head to work. <br>
- Do this for 2 or 3 of your work days per week.  And work out on the 2 days that you get off.  Obviously, this varies.<br>
- Plan on working out for an hour or so.<br>
- Bring the paper if you typically read this at home.<br>
- Or bring journals, reading edification, potentially email on a smartphone, etc., -- anything that gains back a little time for you at work or home.
- I'll leave the specifics (cardio, weights, stretching) up to the professionals.<br>
<br>
I know it's obvious.  But nothing is going to give you a good concentrated workout quite like 60 to 90 minutes at the gym.  And since you shower there, you are discussing 4 to 6 hours / week... well worth it.   I gained back about 1 hour of that time per week reading the paper in-between sets.  And I do answer critical, quick emails on my iPhone.  Yes, get up and walk around and stretch at work and all that, but it's going to be hard to come anywhere close to this regime using any off-the-cuff or "creative" solutions.</htmltext>

Then there's arginine; although most sites boast it as a "Herbal Viagra" you should check wikipedia. It has an amazing list of health benefits. Take it for 8 weeks on, 4 weeks off, etc. Lastly, Green Tea works really well in combination with CLA, because it gently speeds your metabolism, helping CLA burn your belly fat. DO NOT take anything else that speeds your heart, ephedrine, etc. I've tried all of these in the past and the gentleness yet effectiveness of CLA is unparalleled. I hope this helps.

	<title>Interval training works</title>

	<htmltext><p>I have a similar situation. Riding a bicycle is my primary form of exercise. I find that I can stay in shape by doing short, intense interval workouts on the long work days. I have got in the habit of doing the workouts right after I get home. Interval training works like this:<br>10 minutes of warm up to get heart rate above 130 bpm<br>2 minutes at anerobic threshold (163 bpm in my case)<br>1 minute of recovery<br>repeat this 5 - 8 times<br>10 minutes of cool down</p><p>in 40 minutes, you have done a work pout that will sustain your fitness level until you can get in longer calorie burning workouts on your days off.</p><p>Also try to reduce the carbs you eat while at work. Try grapes instead of chips. Eat half a sandwhich with more lean meat and stuff.

<tokenext>I have a similar situation .
Riding a bicycle is my primary form of exercise .
I find that I can stay in shape by doing short , intense interval workouts on the long work days .
I have got in the habit of doing the workouts right after I get home .
Interval training works like this : 10 minutes of warm up to get heart rate above 130 bpm2 minutes at anerobic threshold ( 163 bpm in my case ) 1 minute of recoveryrepeat this 5 - 8 times10 minutes of cool downin 40 minutes , you have done a work pout that will sustain your fitness level until you can get in longer calorie burning workouts on your days off.Also try to reduce the carbs you eat while at work .
Try grapes instead of chips .
Eat half a sandwhich with more lean meat and stuff .

	<htmltext>try the master cleanse. its not a diet, rather a detox regimen. helps tremendously with energy levels. just remember the first 4-5 days are the toughest, try to do 10 days every 4-6 months but never more than 30 at a time. oh , quick tip, the salt water wash is nasty but i found that if you boil water then take 2 ounces and mix in the salt til it dissolves. You drink that and follow it with 30 ounces of water, its much easier than drinking 32 ouces of salt water. of course you should let the water cool a bit, lest it burn you.  Also, I generally make a gallon at a time, and take some with me in a thermos, since the caps are usually about a cup(8oz)

cheers.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>If you're working in Silicon Valley, there are lots of places where you can bike as fast as you can drive.<br>
I live in a rural area in Colorado, and work 25 miles away.  It takes me 45 minutes to drive in, and 1 hour 20 minutes to ride my bike in: by adding an hour onto my commute time, I get 3 hours' exercise in.  When I was going to school, my commute was 12 miles and taking into account the traffic and parking situations it took me 5 minutes less to ride my bike than to drive.<br>
This may not be the case for you, especially when you first start riding: you'll be riding much more slowly than you'd drive.  However, you might consider driving in, biking home, then biking in the next day and driving home.  It's hard to get in a decent workout when you've spent several hours working at your job and then have to switch gears over and go lift weights or do pushups for your entire break, and then go back to work -- not impossible, obviously, but I find it difficult.  But the time spent driving to work is truly wasted: that's part of your life that you're just burning.  You're paying for it and getting nothing.  If you can turn some portion of that time into exercise you win twice: you turn time you have to pay to waste, into time that's useful.  It'd be even better if you could move closer to work, obviously, but that might not be possible.<br>
And as everyone else says: that lifestyle will eat you alive.  I don't think anyone should be working 60 hours a week unless they're making over 120K and saving more than half that every year, because then they'll be able to retire at 50 instead of 70, and when they die at 70 from the after-effects of all the stress, they will have had nearly as reasonable a retirement as people who lived lower-stress lives.</htmltext>

Eat a very light dinner...a small meat and a small side. Drink a LOT of water.

Now, with this job I skip the slim fast and bring my own meal to work. I still go to the gym at lunchtime but I eat my lunch at my desk throughout the day.</htmltext>

).Also, there is also the frequently stated, "make time", even if you only walk 20 mins in the morning or at night (preferably both) that as well makes a difference.Good luck, I know it sucks, but try a few of those and I'll bet it'll help</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>Buy and learn how to use a kettlebell (from dragondoor), a kb workout can be as short as 5 mins. And you only need one 35# bell.
Keep it in your car. Bring it to the office.
I used to keep one at my desk. During long days when I couldnt go home to train, I would do a 5-10 min set of swings.
KB swings offer you the best bang for your buck as far as any type training goes.

<tokenext>Buy and learn how to use a kettlebell ( from dragondoor ) , a kb workout can be as short as 5 mins .
And you only need one 35 # bell .

	<htmltext>Working out is indeed extremely important, but what a lot of people don't realize is that your weight is determined by 75\% diet and 25\% exercise. 8 years ago i was 5'9" and was extremely skinny at 125lbs. I've maintained a weight at around 170-175 for the last several years mostly due to changes in my eating habits. As a fulltime software engineer who only works out 2x a week now, I maintain my weight mostly through several key points that other people may have already mentioned:

1. Cut out all refined carbs/sugars. Stick to whole wheat grains and brown rice.
2. Minimize, but don't eliminate, fat intake. Obviously this means staying away from fried foods, but you can get healthy fats from sources like fish, nuts, olive oil, and vinaigrette salad dressing.
3. Make sure you eat a good amount of protein (the exact amount will differ according to how much activity you can actually do), but protein builds muscle and will help you to feel full longer.
4. Don't let more than 3 hours pass without eating something. This usually means you'll eat 5-6 meals in a day.
5. ALWAYS have a substantial breakfast. This will jump start your metabolism for the day and actually reduce the likelihood you'll overeat later in the day.

Of course, if you can find time to exercise when you can, you'll have the best results. Otherwise, following these guidelines should make a pretty big impact by itself.</htmltext>

You 'll eventually find something you like enough to stick to it and even train to get better at it.Good luck !</tokentext>
<sentencetext>- Take 5 minutes before getting out of bed to do light exercises (sit-ups, back stretching, things that are good for your posture) Don't get out of bed without them and after a week, it will become an effortless habit.- Drink only water.
No juice, no coffee.
It will reduce the amount of consumed calories (Might be counter intuitive, but its a  necessity for IT jobs)- Replace coffee with a stress ball (it keeps you focus and somewhat warmer)- During 2-3 hours a day, trade your chair for an exercise ball.- Eat a little something every two hours.
Don't let yourself be starved, you'll only eat too much the first chance you'll get.These rules by themselves should be enough to prevent anyone from gaining weight.
But to get in better shape, you'll need to find the time to do sports.

	<htmltext>Honestly, Crossfit has been the best boon for me as far as staying in shape and having a horrid schedule is concerned.  I work 40 to 50 hours a week, but I also go to school fulltime.  (2nd time through college mind you).  Between that, and my time with my girlfriend, I don't have a lot of time.

Crossfit can either be done in groups, or solo.  It is quick, intense, and burns far more calories than you'd burn with hours of time on a tredmill or some other crap.  Many of the exercises can be done anywhere, even in an office, and dont' require you to go to some big Globo gym.

Just check out www.crossfit.com, and you'll see the daily workouts, free videos describing various movements, and all that jazz.  Long story short, it's helped me get back in shape, and still have my insane and stupid schedule.  As other said, eating right is key as well.  I bring almonds with me to work, and try to eat along the lines of the Zone diet.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Wow! 791 bits of advice! Can't possibly get through to see if this recommendation has already been provided, but if it all possible, as your employer to provide you with a desk where you can actually stand through your shift. May sound a little crazy, but it helps a lot! The first two weeks are uncomfortable as your legs get used to the work, but thighs are big metabolic tools: by standing, you keep them engaged so your entire work session becomes a little bit of a workout. Plus, you can begin to incorporate other movement as you're standing, and your body will stay more toned overall. Keep a few hand weights nearby. You'll find it also helps you to stay alert. It's great if you can also have a tall chair, or a desk that can be raised or lowered, but you'll find that you end up standing most of the time just because it is more comfortable, and much easier on your back. Good luck!</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I have a similar busy schedule plus family life, and finding time to go to the gym is difficult at best. So I've started to use the 10 minute trainer disks. They are 10 minute work outs you do up to 3 times a day + a eating guide. Working pretty well so far and I can fit in the workouts easy. You can check them out on beachbody.com or if your creative you can find them "elsewhere".</htmltext>

Simply cutting your calories will help but if you cut too drastically your body will think that you are starving and will slow your metabolism and store whatever it can. The key is to keep your body thinking that there is a regular supply of food around- eat frequent but low calorie, healthy meals. Like a salad in the middle of the morning, a ham sandwich with mustard and lettuce/tomatoe for lunch, and a light calorie granola bar / or a piece of fruit for a snack. Keep crackers and fresh veggies for snacks during the day. Eat a healthy breakfast too. Drink water, and 100\% unsweetened juice.</p><p>The suggestions for little workouts during the day is a good idea.

	<htmltext>Probably already suggested, but cut out lazy behaviours:
 Take the stairs instead of the elevator.  Get off the bus a few blocks away/park the car further away and walk a greater distance into the office.  If you can just walk to work, or bike to work.  Take more 10-20 minute breaks and do push ups/handstands/pull ups on the server rack/walks around the compound/campus/park/block.  Carry heavy things instead of using the wheeled cart/dolly.  Stop eating sugar-based junk food/sodas and pack sandwiches instead.  Use a rice cooker to make rice/bean stews and various dishes (You can cook quite a variety of things in a rice cooker).

 And the least best advice:  Take up a cocaine habit.  You'll get tons done, be able to work long hours, and lose your appetite.  It'll work, but it's a terrible idea of course.</htmltext>

Take more 10-20 minute breaks and do push ups/handstands/pull ups on the server rack/walks around the compound/campus/park/block.
Carry heavy things instead of using the wheeled cart/dolly.
Stop eating sugar-based junk food/sodas and pack sandwiches instead.
Use a rice cooker to make rice/bean stews and various dishes (You can cook quite a variety of things in a rice cooker).
And the least best advice:  Take up a cocaine habit.
You'll get tons done, be able to work long hours, and lose your appetite.
It'll work, but it's a terrible idea of course.</sentencetext>

I was always going the opposite way of traffic, and sleeping all day was something I loved.
If you hate these house, find another job with better hours.After I gained weight, I wanted to lose it so I could fit into my clothes again.
I had a favorite pair of khaki pants, and when I went to wear them after a several month hiatus, I popped the button off.
That made me serious about losing weight.
Cut your calorie intake.
NEVER eat fast food, if it's the only thing available, go hungry (drink water or straight black coffee to help with hunger pains).
Buy fresh fruit from a grocery store and eat that.Find a secluded area (I know I was self conscious), and do squats, slowly, look online for the correct way.
Form is better than amount.Also use that area for pushups, and situps.
Make a map you can do for a walk (if available, not everywhere has this option).If your routine is interrupted, CUT THE CALORIES.
If you don't get a chance to walk or do the squats, don't eat.
You might hate the answer, eat less, but that's the one.
If someone puts pizza in front of you, or hands you junk food, throw it in the trash without thinking about it.
They will stop taunting you with food eventually, and you will be hungry and thin.That's what worked for me, and I feel I was in an extremely similar situation.
I left that job over 3 years ago, I make less money, but I work a day shift for only forty hours.
Remember the CD ladder I wrote earlier?
The monthly yield from my CD ladder paid off my car and is now working on my mortgage.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext><p>A lot of this advice tells you to go out and basically create a radical lifestyle change all at once. That generally doesn't happen. Changing things like diet, exercise, spending habits, social habits, etc., tends to work best if you slowly make small changes.

<li>Get a stationary bicycle that you "park" in front of your desk</li>

<li>Get a small treadmill that you can stroll on, with monitor visible, so you can respond to incoming issues</li>

	<htmltext>Reduce carbohydrate intake perhaps<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)

If you are conscious of the way you are moving then you can find lots of ways to expend more energy and not lose muscle to attrition. Instead of bouncing up stairs, walk up them slowly as if you were doing an exercise in the gym. You can do various exercise while on the phone, when you're lifting objects, while you are waiting for things, on public transport - look for these moments and make sure you don't just stand/sit around. A lot of our daily movement is done in the most efficient way - walking slowly, bounding up the stairs, lounging in the chair. Do it in the least efficient way. A short course of gym would be good, though, to build muscle which itself burns more energy than fat - it's easier to keep it later than to build it in the first place<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)

Of course there are the freeform exercises which can be done on the desk, kitchen benches and floors - always pleasurable.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I have a pretty hectic schedule myself I'm pretty much on call all the time, due to I have facility that i managed that operates 24-7.  I make a point to spend at least an hour at the gym or at the park doing something active and I also manage my weight by eliminating a lot of junk food in take, fast food; soda.

As well as taking my breaks and spending that time walking around.  You do not necessarily have to spend a huge amount if time working out or starve yourself.  Just eat 4-5 small meals rather then starve yourself and eat one or two large meals; by starving you are slowing your metabolism which cause you to retain and stored body fat.  So eating several small meals through out the day you speed up your metabolism and you burn body fat.

BTW I used to weight between 210-220 lbs I'm now at 135-140 lbs with a 5-7 \% body fat.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Metabolism isn't static.  It can go up or down, depending on how you eat and move.<br> <br>
Make sure you eat breakfast, then throughout the day eat enough to keep your energy levels up.  If you are skipping meals, your metabolism will drop to compensate.  Eat a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat (and green vegetables, not lettuce) to keep your body on edge and ready to operate when you need it.  When I say body, I include brain as well, since it is very much part of your body.<br> <br>
As far as exercise, if you do it right, it will help you unwind.  If you're feeling like all you want to do is go sit on the couch and do nothing, it's because you've been not eating a balance or not moving for so long, your body doesn't have the energy or desire to move anymore.  You have to help it wake up and become alive, because seriously, who wants to waste all their non-work hours relaxing doing nothing?</htmltext>

You have to help it wake up and become alive, because seriously, who wants to waste all their non-work hours relaxing doing nothing?</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>As someone who has worked in a stressful job with little free time, I understand how hard it can be to stay in shape.  While I am in a better situation with regular weight and cardio workouts, there was a time I saw my weight go up and up.  I did finally take charge and started doing "mini-workouts".

Whether while brushing my teeth or during bathroom breaks at work, I would do pushups, squats, lunges, or calf raises.  Body weight, of course.  While this does nothing for your cardio health, I was able to increase my strenght and lose a bit (5 - 10 lb) of weight.  I was up to 2 sets of 40 pushups twice a week.  Squats and lunges were 50 at a time.  I did 90 calf raises per set.  I even managed to do some neutral grip pullups using stall doors.  Each "workout" lasted at most 5 min on top of my bathroom break (people have smoking breaks, I have workout breaks).  And i know, pushups on a bathroom floor is nasty, but there's soap and water nearby.

Point is, if you want to squeeze in workouts, you can.  Even though I go to the gym now, I still take stairs going up at my workplace now.  Sometimes I toss in some body weight squats while brushing my teeth.  Watching TV?  Crank out 20 pushups during commercials.  If there's a will, there's a way.

Also, diet is actually the most important part of losing weight.  Minimize sugar, salt, junk food.  Soda?  Drink diet.  Coffee?  Drink black no sugar, or at least milk and artificial sweetener.  Need a snack?  PB&amp;J on one slice of whole wheat bread.  So many ways to cut down.

Good luck.</htmltext>

<tokenext>yup , this thread has my vote too .
but you need n't follow anyone 's formula , just find a way to work some miles into your life .
i eat as much as i want and frequently drink a 6-pack of beer in an evening , and if i am a couch potato i swell up in short order .
my office is less than a mile from home , so riding to/from work does n't really put a dent in the waistline .
however , there are times when i take the long way , and almost every day i do something other than go to work--be that go out to dinner , go shopping , go to friends ' homes , the movies , whatever .
and i ride there.i grant you i have it super-easy since i moved to the most cycle-friendly city in the world , but i came from texas where i was frequently threatened by drivers and heat stroke and i did it there , too .
definitely start with some advice from a local as to routes , or at least read http : //bicyclesafe.com/ [ bicyclesafe.com ] so you do n't make any dumb moves or take any suboptimal routes ( the interstate ?
almost always suboptimal .
) definitely do ramp up slowly ( anything is better than nothing ) to minimize discouragement and keep discomfort manageable .
definitely do get a bike that 's in decent shape--need not be expensive , needs be maintained regularly like a car ( or maybe even more so--i pump up my bike tires weekly and reapply lube...welll..should be monthly ) .
get appropriate clothing--this may not be spandex , but it is also probably not your work clothing .
the pain you feel from the exercise should n't be surface or joint pain , it should be muscle pain .
if you get joint pain , you might need to adjust the fit of the bike ; surface pain suggests different clothing ( i chafe between the thighs unless i wear spandex , be it under my clothes or exclusively , for instance ) .
as well , bike sizing matters--every bike is not right for every person , and riding a badly sized one can injure you .
so a little professional or amateur help ( i hang out on some local general-interest message boards and offer to help people pick something sane from craigslist ; i know others do the same in other locales .
or just go to a bike shop &amp; pay for the advice .
) these things will keep your riding more pleasant &amp; safe.good luck !</tokentext>

	<htmltext>For some reason, smokers get four or five 10-15 minute smoke breaks a day, outside of the normal break schedule (this holds even more true if the boss is a smoker). So claim smoking, then string all your alotted smoke breaks together, and go to the gym for an hour mid-day, or split it with a 30 minute walk/run, and a 30 minute self-directed calisthenic workout.

	<htmltext>Looking at the previous comments, everyone seems to agree that there are only 24 hours in any given day. Staying in shape takes about 1 of those 24 hours about every other day. In the end it's all about choices. Is it really worth it sacrificing your health for some shity night shift?
<br>
<br>
Ok, not that helpfull...
<br>
<br>
You say you need time to "unwind", well my friend, to me anyway; working out IS unwinding. It makes even the most stressful day seem a little bit better just knowing that I still managed to do something good for ME. It's also been demonstrated (citation needed) that healthy people get promoted faster, talk about killing two birds with one stone... Taking your health seriously could indirectly get you out of that shitty job one day!</htmltext>

	<htmltext>How about biking a portion of your commute to and from work? Put a bike rack on your car and drive all but the last 5 miles, find a good place to leave your car (parking garage maybe?). Bike the last three miles into work. Reverse the process going home and you have 2 good work outs each day. Depending on the terrain (hills, highways, and so forth) you might need to adjust the actual route you take. At the most, this should cost you about 1 hour (avg 15-18 mph plus set up time). With that being said- I'm all about working with the circumstances to produce the best outcome..... but none of this will matter if your job requirement (not weight) kill you first. After all - sleepy drivers and/or people who routinely cope with high stress levels have a very high mortality rate.</htmltext>

Then, do some research on fruit juice.

	<htmltext><p>I'm going to assume you won't change your job or location to create more time in your life to actually do the exercise your body needs.
</p><p>
The next best thing you can do is tune your eating habits. Because you're fighting calories in/out imbalance, and you have no tools to improve the "out" part, you must focus on the "in" part:
</p><p>
* Don't buy calorie-dense foods. Slowly wean yourself completely off cookies, cake, desserts. If they're around, you'll eat them.
</p><p>
* Start shitfing towards a more "vegetarianish" diet. If you eat out, make sure it's a salad, bean salad, tofu dish, stir-fry veggies. Learn to skip the meat and load up on the fiber.
</p><p>
* Replace those 300-calorie Coolatas with a mug of low-fat low-sodium chicken broth. Broth really does kill the hunger pangs and has close to zero calories (30 calories in a 48-oz can).
</p><p>
If you want to avoid buying ever-larger clothes, you're going to have to re-tune your eating habits for the reality you've put yourself into. But you can do it -- it's all about being consious and making choices. Do it one little step at a time, and keep doing it.

	<htmltext>Maybe I'm too late to the party, but as someone who has<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... pretty much this situation, I'm currently doing something about it.
<br>
The think that I've found particularly useful is fitbug - <a href="http://www.fitbug.com/" title="fitbug.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fitbug.com/</a> [fitbug.com] - they send you a pedometer, USB cable and set a daily aerobic/non aerobic exercise target. And they also let you record what you're eating, and give you feedback on the nutritional balance of it - less just a number of calories, and more paying attention to fat/protein/carbohydrate, and working on a 'good' level of each. That brought me a few shocks, as some food has \_way\_ more than I thought - the pizzas I ate being a prime example.
<br>
It's really quite easy, and also appeals to  my inner geek - so much so that I've altered my routine to get my 'daily steps' in (actually, I 'cheat' and go to the gym, because it's more time efficient - and that's a good motivator for me) and am eating<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... I think it's mostly fruit/nuts and a generally lower food intake.
<br>
Seems to be working too, although I've started from 'extremely lardy' and am aiming for 'a bit lardy' as my long term goal.
<br>
And it's not 'starving myself' either - my calorie target is something like 2800/day, to do with the 12,400 steps (I do about 6000 steps/hour, and cover 3 miles, so that's about 2 hours of walking during the day).
<br>
Feeling fit and well has been a godsend - as has being able to 'fit in' 10 minutes here and there through the day.</htmltext>

It 's really quite easy , and also appeals to my inner geek - so much so that I 've altered my routine to get my 'daily steps ' in ( actually , I 'cheat ' and go to the gym , because it 's more time efficient - and that 's a good motivator for me ) and am eating ... I think it 's mostly fruit/nuts and a generally lower food intake .
Seems to be working too , although I 've started from 'extremely lardy ' and am aiming for 'a bit lardy ' as my long term goal .
And it 's not 'starving myself ' either - my calorie target is something like 2800/day , to do with the 12,400 steps ( I do about 6000 steps/hour , and cover 3 miles , so that 's about 2 hours of walking during the day ) .
Feeling fit and well has been a godsend - as has being able to 'fit in ' 10 minutes here and there through the day .</tokentext>
<sentencetext>Maybe I'm too late to the party, but as someone who has ... pretty much this situation, I'm currently doing something about it.
The think that I've found particularly useful is fitbug - http://www.fitbug.com/ [fitbug.com] - they send you a pedometer, USB cable and set a daily aerobic/non aerobic exercise target.

	<htmltext>There's a ton of good advice in this thread surprisingly. Hershal Walker was one of the most ripped guys in the NFL for a long time. People were scared of this guy because of his fitness. He ate nothing but garbage too. I read an ESPN the Mag article that said he basically got ripped from sitting around watching tv (soap operas) for like 8 hours a day and doing nothing but pushups and sit ups during commercial breaks. So obviously it doesn't take much. I work about 60-70 hours a week in IT spread over a 5-7 day work week. In light of the responsibilities that I have and the demand of the job, I asked management if I could have an extended lunch break 3 days a week. They agreed and 3 days a week I take an hour and a half lunch break and go to the gym. I feel that this was a very fair compromise for both the company and myself. Me staying healthy means less sick days and less medical problems therefore lowering my medical expenses and raising my reliability. Just bounce it off your supervisor/manager/HR departments head and see what they think. It doesn't hurt to ask at all. Sell it to them as an investment in a valuable resource (you).</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Funny to read your post I was just thinking about this before going on Slashdot. I've found it very difficult to find time the past year. I normally like to exercise in team sports but found it difficult to work since not being flexible if I also want a bit of social life and time for the misses<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-) I work between 50 and 60 hours a week and find myself drained at times.

The first thing was to recognize that I need to prioritize this in order to function properly and secondly tried to minimize the time by combining activities or finding something more appealing than just working out (tried that and ended up quitting after a month).

Here's what I've come up with:
1. I bike to work (12 km each way)
2. I go for a walk/run/threadmill early in the morning (6:30-7:00). Hate doing it that way but enjoy listening to podcasts.
3. I found a sport I really enjoy. In my case kite surfing, but it could be anything. What I like about it is that it's individual, but at the same time very social and I can do it when I have time - or when the weather allows it.
4. And more sex<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)

Hope it helps.</htmltext>

Then my assignment changed and I was 1 hr away from the new site, instead of 15 mins.
Grrr.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned a solution I tried - get yourself an under-desk mini stepper or bike, along with a non-rolling chair, and you can pedal or step away while you sit at your desk. Even if you're only doing it very slowly, doing it for hours will certainly help you lose weight, and probably get you in better shape than you're in now.</htmltext>

It picks apart traditional wisdom regarding "cardio" training, calories in vs. calories out, and a lot of other conventional wisdom.  I would highly recommend watching Dr. McGruff's series of videos on YouTube as well.

Here he takes critical look at what exactly constitutes "health" and "fitness."

	<title>Get a Kettlebell</title>

	<htmltext><p>Most of the comments so far have addressed the lifestyle impacts of your job, and for the most part I agree with them. I would recommend a fitness regimen like P90X (yeah, it's sold via infomercial, but it does work), but you seem to feel you don't have the 1-1.5 hours a day to devote to it. If you really feel that pressed for time, I would recommend getting a kettlebell. A kettlebell is basically a shotput-sized ball with a handle on it. They come in all sizes now, but traditionally the 'standard' one is 24kg, a 'heavy' is 32kg, and a 'junior' is 16kg. I would recommend starting with the 16kg junior size. I have a 16kg and a 24kg, and that 24 is a heavy bastard. I can't imagine what a 32 is like.</p><p>Learn to do snatches properly (there are videos on the web) - 100 total, 50 each hand in sets of 25-15-10, alternating between each hand. Short breaks between each set (like 1 minute). That one exercise works almost all major muscle groups in the body, particularly core muscles. Is it a magical replacement for all other exercises? No, of course not, but I can't think of another exercise that gets so much done in so short a time. You can be done with the whole thing in under 20 minutes. Of course, be careful and start slow - if you lose your grip on 16kg of cast iron, that can put a big dent in almost anything, including your skull.</p><p>Kettlebells used to be a specialty item, and you could only get them at places like <a href="http://www.dragondoor.com/" title="dragondoor.com">http://www.dragondoor.com/</a> [dragondoor.com], but they have become much more popular, and you may be able to locate them at you local sporting/fitness stores now.</p></htmltext>

They come in all sizes now , but traditionally the 'standard ' one is 24kg , a 'heavy ' is 32kg , and a 'junior ' is 16kg .
I would recommend starting with the 16kg junior size .
I have a 16kg and a 24kg , and that 24 is a heavy bastard .
I ca n't imagine what a 32 is like.Learn to do snatches properly ( there are videos on the web ) - 100 total , 50 each hand in sets of 25-15-10 , alternating between each hand .
Short breaks between each set ( like 1 minute ) .
That one exercise works almost all major muscle groups in the body , particularly core muscles .
Is it a magical replacement for all other exercises ?
No , of course not , but I ca n't think of another exercise that gets so much done in so short a time .
You can be done with the whole thing in under 20 minutes .
Of course , be careful and start slow - if you lose your grip on 16kg of cast iron , that can put a big dent in almost anything , including your skull.Kettlebells used to be a specialty item , and you could only get them at places like http : //www.dragondoor.com/ [ dragondoor.com ] , but they have become much more popular , and you may be able to locate them at you local sporting/fitness stores now .</tokentext>
<sentencetext>Most of the comments so far have addressed the lifestyle impacts of your job, and for the most part I agree with them.
I would recommend a fitness regimen like P90X (yeah, it's sold via infomercial, but it does work), but you seem to feel you don't have the 1-1.5 hours a day to devote to it.

At my old job (that had a fitness center) I'd spend the first 30 minutes of my lunch working out, then the last 30 minutes to run somewhere to get lunch and eat it at my desk when I got back.  That worked out nicely for me.  As an added benefit, the endorphine rush you get from working out does wonders for making the remainder of your shift more pleasant.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Sounds like it's about time you started asking yourself what you really care about.<br> <br>

Are we here to slave over machines our whole lives for companies that don't care about anything but their bottom lines?  Or are we here to do our best to live a happy, fulfilling life?  What's your motivation to stay at this job, anyway? It sounds to me like they're running you too hard. What exactly are you doing with your salary?  Spending it all on a home you're never in and a car you're always in? (but never enjoying)<br> <br>

When you die it doesn't matter where you worked, it matters who loved you.<br> <br>

On a more immediately helpful note, I've been getting more exercise and easing my stress levels lately by brown-bagging lunches that will be good cold.  Then when my lunch hour rolls around I grab my lunch, start a 1 hour countdown timer on my phone and start walking. Because my lunch is good cold I don't even have to stop in the break room to microwave anything. When I find a nice place to sit down I have a seat and eat my lunch. Then I walk back to work feeling refreshed and ready to face the rest of the day.</htmltext>

She hates me for eating a quarter-pounder every week without getting fat ever.<br>And no, i don't do special exercises.<br>All i do is to walk 4 floors up, down 4 times a day (one in morn, one in even and two times in between for lunch)<br>I tried to get fat once by eating a double-cheese burger for one month at McDonalds and Pizzas at Dominoes.<br>All i got for all that trouble was a taste killing effort.<br>My taste buds lost their taste for everything else.<br>It took me 3 months to regain taste buds.<br>Now i stick to my regular meals:<br>Breakfast: one huge bowl of Kellogs and a glass of Orange juice, double-egg omletes.<br>Lunch: Anything with lots of cheese and butter in it.

They always say they would kill for my Gene.Any advice ?</tokentext>
<sentencetext>Fortunately, i have a high metabolism rate.
The kind that burns fat first.As several of doctors in Singapore, Australia, USA and India confirmed, my metabolism is slightly off balance.
Meaning it is hyper.So the more i eat, the faster it metabolizes it.And the more fat i eat, the more it metabolizes the same first.My doctor said my weight will always be around 57-60 Kgs.
Never will go up even if i eat a pound of butter every day.And no, my heart is not affected.
Heck, the fat never even reaches it.

	<title>High Intensity Interval Training!  (HIIT)</title>
	<author>mathimus1863</author>

	<htmltext><b>High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)</b> is fairly well-known activity for general fitness and weight loss.  It's been found that 15 minutes of HIIT will get you better fitness and weight-loss benefits than 60 minutes of medium intensity running, biking, etc.   Google "HIIT" you'll learn a bit about it.
<br> <br>
The downside?  It's tiring as hell.  If you do it correctly, you only spend 15 min exercising, but you should hardly be able to walk when you're done (so add 5 minutes for catching your breath).  This explains why some people have trouble losing weight through jogging, treadmills and stationary bikes.  But playing soccer, basketball, or [in my case] kickboxing results in a very quick fitness results.  <b>It's been proven that HIIT raises your metabolism for a full 24 hours after you finish, even only doing 10-15 min.</b>
<br> <br>
The goal should be 15 rounds, 30s on, 30s off.  Start with like 5 rounds of 30s on, 90s off, and try to improve to the 15-min goal.  The activity can be anything you want:  punching bags are great, or you can do sprint/walk intervals on a track, etc.  But it is vital that <b> you go 90\% to 100\% intensity</b> for the "on" intervals.  The only requirement for the "off" intervals is to try to stay standing/pacing (don't sit down/go to 0\%).  It is absolutely exhausting, but the health benefits are phenomenal.  I do a variation of HIIT 2-3x per week in my kickboxing class, and I lost about 20 lbs and endurance went up 10-fold in the span of 2 months.
<br> <br>
If you're going to ever have time for any kind of exercise, you'll have time for this, unless you're trying to figure out how to get exercise in front of your steering wheel or your desk.  Come up with an exercise that you can do, or a variety of exercises you can do that will take all your energy for about 30 seconds, and alternate between them.  In my case, I wrote a short python script that just dings ever 30s so that I don't have to try to watch a stopwatch or anything.
<br> <br>
My recommendation is to alternate between 4-6 activities for the "on" intervals, using different muscle groups for each, so that you are working 100\%, but different muscles.  Try clapping pushups, speed burpees (google it), doing full squat jumps as high as you can, full crunches/situps/veeups, etc.... or get a punching bag and go nuts punching and kicking it.  That's what I do, and it's very satisfying.</htmltext>

	<title>A suggestion</title>

	<htmltext>My first suggestion would be to make working out a priority.  By that, I mean get into a mindframe where you will do whatever it takes to get a workout in each day.  To the point that it is unacceptable to you if you don't.  It has to be at least the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd most important thing to you each and every day.  No exceptions.
<br>
<br>
Once that happens, you will start getting creative about when and where you can work out.  You'll be surprised how much time you can actually find once you put serious thought and effort to it.
<br>
<br>
I travel <b>a lot</b> and I face many of the same problems you do.  The first step to getting any kind of normal pattern going is to work out whenever and wherever you can and be flexible about how you work out.  If it's a high priority, then it will pre-empt many many other things.  That's OK.  In fact, it's kind of the point.  It's precisely what I mean by making it a priority -- it has to be important enough that you can't imagine not doing it.
<br>
<br>
If it's a "choice" each day, then you won't be consistent and most likely, you won't make it a month.   But if it's a non-optional thing for you, then I think you'll <b>FIND</b> a way to make it happen.  Whether that means you jog to work each day or not....you'll find a way.</htmltext>

its all about time management. i love to sleep in as late as possible (0610 usually for me) so i prep my stuff to the point where when its time to get up, im out the door in a minute tops.
adjust your diet to include a healthy breakfast and many small healthful snacks. if you cant find the intestinal fortitude to sacrifice some of that me time for some real productive time, then do something to up your heartrate every time you get up to get a drink, a snack, a smoke, or go to the bathroom. as mentioned earlier, find a way to get a pullup bar near you and bang out a max set every time you do something. the better shape youre in the more energy youll have and the better youll sleep, so you can use those as building blocks to help you jump outta bed and do a quick workout-maybe a mile or two on the eliptical/exercise bike (if youre not already used to working out id advise against running because its high-impact), some situps, flutter kicks, jumping jacks, pushups....the process is continuous.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>If you don't know how your body works best then you need to learn. No exercise, diet, weight loss plan out there will do you good unless it works for you. What works good for one person won't work good for another. Each and every person is an individual with different circumstances. Take a look at what you're currently doing activity wise and putting into your body energy wise. If you're tethered to your chair for the whole time of your shift and cannot break away, you'll have to find a time that best suits some form of physical activity. If you find yourself munching on food throughout the day because of the lack of ability to get out of your chair, make sure it's healthier food. Find time to do anything you can. Five minutes per day is better than 0. Eight minutes is better than the 5. Make conscience efforts to change and stick with it irregardless. Don't set too high of goals right away. Aim high enough to be attainable but not too hard to reach. Something you know you can do. Like set a goal to lose 2lbs and THEN maintain the loss for a week. It's so easy to lose it and then fall back into old habits. Also don't deny yourself simple pleasures. That's where every single diet will fail, but be cautious. If your normal breakfast is 3 donuts and 2 cups of coffee and a candybar, cut out the candybar or 1 donut. Minor changes over a long period of time, constantly updating is easier on the psyche and a much smoother way to transitioning out of bad habits. Most importantly, listen to your body though. If you're constantly hungry, find satisfying foods that will curb the hunger pains while giving you nutrition.

	<htmltext>Here is what I would do if I were in your position:

1. Leave your money in the car/at home. The less easy it is to run to the snack machine, the better.
2. Bring your meals. For 12 hours I would bring 4 meals, and eat 2 more meals at home. You want to eat small meals regularly to keep your metabolism high.
3. Drink enough to piss every hour. Not only will you be properly hydrated, but getting up to piss every hour is you getting out of your chair and walking.
4. Take the long way to everything, and never the elevator.
5. Do a set of push-ups and sit-ups every hour.</htmltext>

	<title>5 Factor Diet</title>
	<author>charliezcc</author>

	<htmltext>I recently started doing the 5 factor diet. Very easy - all you have to do is eat high glycemic index foods (unprocessed, so no flour, sugar, etc) five times a day. Eat every 3 to 3.5 hours. Exercise 5 times a week for 25 minutes.<br>
<br>
The net effect of all of this is that your body's metabolism is set by what you eat. Call it optimizing your metabolism.<br>
<br>
My current plan is to put the following into plastic containers:<br>
2.5 ounces of chicken, either purchased or grilled, or whatever<br>
3/4 to 1 cup of steamed brown rice<br>
A few vegetables<br>
Some meals, I'll have a few cashews so I can have a little fat in my diet.<br>
<br>
I prepare them at most 5 days ahead of time and throw them in my refrigerator. In the morning I eat one (or prepare something more appetizing than chicken and rice but with equivalent nutrition). Three and a half hours later I eat another. Three hours later, another, and repeat and repeat. Five meals down, and I was NEVER starving during the day.<br>
<br>
I'll walk for 25 minutes when I get home from work. During work, I do a few exercises that require nothing but my body. Every other day I do a single set of lunges, pushups, situps, calve raises - all fairly simple. They all take less than a minute and I can feel the results very quickly.<br>
<br>
Once a week, on Saturday or Sunday, I eat whatever the heck I want. Cheat day. Then back at it again making my meals, packing them away, and getting ready for the work week. Never have to worry about what I'm eating next as long as it's prepared ahead of time!<br>
<br>
I'm losing a good amount of weight on this, and it's maintainable.<br>
<br>
5 factor diet or not, just remember to watch what you put into your body during the week and you'll do just fine. If that is too hardcore for you, try weight watchers or if you love crunching numbers, take a look at John Walker's (creator of AutoCad) website. He had the same problem at work. Took it upon himself to figure out the equations behind the weight. Worth a read at the least. <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/" title="fourmilab.ch" rel="nofollow">http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/</a> [fourmilab.ch]</htmltext>

Since your commute is killing your time, and your car (assuming you're not commuting on a train) - consider staying in a hotel near work with a workout room a few times a week.  You basically save your commute from and to work, giving you 3 hours back with which to workout, and with the savings to wear and tear on your car, and the gas used, it'll at least subsidize the hotel stays.  Canceling an existing gym membership might also drop the total cost to where so many hotel stays a month becomes a monetary wash.  Anyway, with working so many hours, you can probably afford to spend a bit on fitness.</htmltext>

Also put a lot of sugar in your coffee to get your ATP, and then drink it all day to block your AMP.  This also keeps something in your stomach.  When you get hungry, drink more of it.  Maybe eat lunch but not breakfast, and then have a small dinner, but stay busy to avoid vegetation.  Don't forget beer or eggs for protein, multivitamins, iodized salt.  Try to sleep on a predictable schedule, even if it's just 5-7 hours.

Back in the day when I was working general support, I was hauling computers everywhere, which helps.  Just carry a mid-tower around with you all day, and then occasionally open the case and close it - just for exercise...</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Last August, I started eating the "paleo diet" and purposely put off all exercise, keeping my lifestyle as sedentary as possible. At the same time, I ate whenever I was hungry. The pounds just flew off, and I was practically skin and bones in couple months. Stick to lots of red meat, fish, cheese, eggs, bacon, milk, cottage cheese, some vegetables. You may have to supplement with omega-3 fish oil if you're buying cheap eggs and meat that are high in omega-6 and low in omega-3.
<br> <br>
Get your blood tests with HDL and VLDL / triglycerides to confirm that your blood lipids are improving. Get a check for liver fat deposits before starting the diet, and get another check a couple months later. You'll be shocked at all the improvements. HDL up, VLDL and trigs down, fatty liver gone.

The amount you work isn't healthy and will lead to health problems and/or burnout.If they're paying you good for all this, move closer.
If not look for a different job.In the meantime.
Use your breaks and mealtimes to fit in excersize.
Walk up and down steps.Kick (juggle) a soccer ball or hacky-sack around.
Take a long walk.
Keep a couple barbells at work.Any muscle mass will help burn calories.

	<htmltext>There isn't much room in your life for exercise but you will feel really tired after cardio and weight training. You may want to get in shape but it is more important that you feel good. You need to find the right activity that you can combine with work.

I follow an AM yoga routine every day and every second day I follow it with a power yoga session that provides a reasonable cardio/strength/stamina workout. It won't give you chiselled abs but you'll feel great and prevent a lot of stress related illnesses.

Yoga is the perfect antidote to sitting at a desk all the time where your lower back in under strain for long periods of time, your hip region becomes tight and your shoulders are hunched forward typing at a keyboard.

There isn't a lot of equipment required, just a mat and even that's optional. You can do it in the office, preferably in a free meeting room. Pull down the blinds of course. Do the AM yoga session during your morning break. You can do the power yoga session during lunch but I prefer to do it just before going to sleep.

Trust me, you'll feel great after doing it once. Cycle to work to get an additional workout

But when all this is said and done 4-5 12 hour days a week is not sustainable.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Parent is 100\% spot on right. Let me tell you about my situation. I had been steadily gaining weight since 1994. Started around 190 and ended up at 280 before I'd finally had enough. Switched to low carb (atkins specifically) and started working out a few times a week. I've lost 60+ pounds since Sep. 08 and kept it off. I went from 44" waist to 38" in that time. My health has improved drastically and overall I feel great.

Let me tell you about my situation .
I had been steadily gaining weight since 1994 .
Started around 190 and ended up at 280 before I 'd finally had enough .
Switched to low carb ( atkins specifically ) and started working out a few times a week .
I 've lost 60 + pounds since Sep. 08 and kept it off .
I went from 44 " waist to 38 " in that time .
My health has improved drastically and overall I feel great .

<sentencetext>Of course "change job", "14 hours a day too much" etc., etc., are coming in, but in these times it can be difficult.From your schedule, since you need sleep, you will have to fit exercise in your work schedule.Basically, you need one 20 minute break, and another 2 breaks of 10 minutes each.Can you extract that much time out of your job?If yes, do thisfirst 10 minutes break, do 3-4 minutes brisk walk followed by mild jog.Later after an hour or so do 5 minutes of fast walk, light jog.
and then run properly for 10 minutes and then spend 5 minutes to cool down.

	<htmltext>You spend 12-15 hours at work
You spend 3 hours driving
You didn't say how much you sleep, but I will assume you like your pillow as much as I do mine, so 8 hours...
<p>.</p><p>
that's a total of 23-26 hours per day.  Congratulations, you have no life.  Unless your work is your life, in which case let's roll with that.
</p><p>
First off really consider getting a place right next to work and right next to a gym, that way you can go to the gym after work instead of commuting for 3 hours...  This is thinking strategically.
</p><p>
Let's pretend that work is fun for you and you are enjoying yourself all of that time (if you are not, it's time to re-evaluate your goals and figure out what you want in life).
</p><p>
Then the problem becomes simple, you love your life the way it is, but you know you need to get in some exercise.  There is only two places to put excercise in the time your life allows, either during work or during your commute.  During Sleep is out of the question.
</p><p>
The good news is there is one very effective exercise you can do while driving, it's called isometrics.  you can also do this while in your cubicle.  Basically you just sit there flexing your muscles.  Nobody will even notice you are doing it.  Flex your left leg 10 time, then your right 10 times, then your left arm, and so on, with your abs as well...
</p><p>
There is also some easy exercises you can do at work.  You don't need an hour straight to work out.  It takes me about 2 minutes to do:
</p><p>
	10 hinu squats
	10 pushups
	10 sit-ups
	5 pullups
</p><p>
That's only 2 minutes.  If you are able to take a 2 minute break every hour while at work and do this, after only 10 hours of work you have done
</p><p>
	100 hindu squats
	100 pushups
	100 sit-ups
	50 pullups!
</p><p>
Combine that with sitting isometrics and you will be in better shape than most in no time.
</p><p>
Of course, you must practice this, you need to develop the habit.  It's not going to be easy.
</p><p>
And if you are working so much that you have no personal relationships, you might be damaging your brain.  I would talk it out with a licensed psychologist.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>There are several different training regiments that follow the high impact, low duration approach, but this is the one that I've been using for a while now:

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Body-Science-Research-Program-Results/dp/0071597174/ref=sr\_1\_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1246480756&amp;sr=8-1" title="amazon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Body-Science-Research-Program-Results/dp/0071597174/ref=sr\_1\_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1246480756&amp;sr=8-1</a> [amazon.com]

It takes only a few minutes a week and in conjunction with a reasonable diet you'll at least stay in shape.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>I spent 2 years working a shift like that except I was only 1h away from work. Still, it was pretty rough. Here's what I did.

1) Spend your breaks at work doing something active. I'm not a smoker but I took "smoke breaks" and left the NOC and did laps around the building. I also picked up a book on stretching and did those too to break things up. Pushups were a time killer too and made a difference. Google "hotel room workout" for tips on working out with a minimal amount of equipment. You can store a yoga mat under your desk and an exercise ball makes a nice chair.

2) Changed my eating habits. I went on South Beach. Cut out all sodas and fast food. Started eating 6 meals per day. More protein and veggies, few carbs. I'd pack a cooler full of stuff and take it with me so I could eat on time - especially if I was driving.

3) Moved closer to work. There was a cost to this....I had to give up a month's rent. Ended up 20 minutes away, a 20 minute drive that was nice. The time I saved made a huge difference.

After 2 years I left the job. Turnover was really high and after 2 years I saw 2 rotations of the staff.

Kita's ideas are similar to mine...good stuff there.</htmltext>

Your heart will still reward you for not carrying the extra body mass
<br> <br>
You should be able to maintain your weight this way.  Then, add exercise, primarily cardio. Look for opportunies to get incremental exercise.  Park at the back of the lot. Use the stairs instead of the escalator. Get out of the office at lunch or breaktime for a walk. Find a set of stairs and do a couple of flights a few times a day. And on your days off, get your workouts in the morning before you come OBE (overcome by events) later in the day.

But honestly, I think you need a new job / lifestyle.  What are you living for?  I hope you're squirreling money away for leisure time later, otherwise you're just grinding your life away (as another poster put it.)</htmltext>

I don't really believe you dont have any time to work out but if you honestly can't find the time to exercise at least try to form a healthy diet. You wont gain weight if you dont eat anything..

	<htmltext>Note: sorry if any of this is badly formatted, I don't post often
<br> <br>
Health is a broad topic and it really comes down to what you're actually trying to achieve, 'staying in shape' is a really broad area (gain lean mass, reduce heart risk, age well, endurance, fast-twitch response, weekend athlete, don't throw my back out doing the lawn, etc), however, here's some general advice on overall directions:
<br> <br>
Focus:
Work can bring you down, and when you're sitting down it can be hard to focus (or the opposite, if you've ever done a 10 hr marathon coding session, looked up and said 'damn'), relax, or keep a stable mental state (depending on your user base) ~ <a href="http://www.guidetopsychology.com/autogen.htm" title="guidetopsychology.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.guidetopsychology.com/autogen.htm</a> [guidetopsychology.com] ~ is one method of staying focused and giving yourself the reinforcement that will help with the other steps (you can get it down to about 3 minutes front to back by the end of the cycle).
<br> <br>
Nutrition: Other than a balanced diet (there's too much info on google to address that here) a good vitamin pack ~ <a href="http://antiaging-systems.com/a2z/beyondchelation.htm" title="antiaging-systems.com" rel="nofollow">http://antiaging-systems.com/a2z/beyondchelation.htm</a> [antiaging-systems.com] ~ can go a long way to stabilizing your diet and 'rounding off the rough edges'.  I like the chelating package because it helps cleanse some of the crap that gets into the food lifecycle out of our system.
<br> <br>
At work exercise: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Isometric-Power-Revolution-Mastering-Lifelong/dp/1932458506" title="amazon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Isometric-Power-Revolution-Mastering-Lifelong/dp/1932458506</a> [amazon.com] ~ is a solid reference on isometric exercises (many of which can be done at work) - optimally spread out throughout your shift (and some can be done discretely on an hourly basis).  There are many isometric references out there so if you find this trend working for you then you should continue to do research until you find a series (with variations) that meets your specific (and evolving) needs.
<br> <br>
Day off exercise:  2-3 30m cardio sessions are good, but I also recommend 1-2 yoga sessions as well (or in place of perhaps).  Yoga is an excellent method of flushing your lymphatic system and has solid health benefits for arterial plasticity as well (make sure you do your own research however), a good at home example guide is: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bikrams-Beginning-Class-Second-Edtion/dp/1585420204/ref=sr\_1\_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1246481279&amp;sr=1-1" title="amazon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Bikrams-Beginning-Class-Second-Edtion/dp/1585420204/ref=sr\_1\_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1246481279&amp;sr=1-1</a> [amazon.com]
<br> <br>
You can get the info in the books above on the internet as well, but I like books for my library.
The above require the lowest investment in equipment that I've seen and still allow for considerable improvement and variation.  There's no magic pill here, you have to really define what you want to achieve and keep learning to adapt your regime to your lifestyle/goals.  Keep in mind there's a difference been an 'optimum' workout strategy and 'making a difference'.  Doing 5 minutes of isometrics or a breathing exercise or two every hour at work isn't an optimum way to build muscle, but every little bit helps.
<br>
<br>
Best of luck</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>As an IT guy, you can appreciate basic math.  If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.  If you burn more than you eat, you will lose weight.   Eat the right foods that aren't just a waste of calories - there are a gazillion references to what these are.  Don't eat more than you can burn.  If somebody brings in donuts at work, take a pass.

I have trouble prying myself away even after an hour or two of play.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>Pick up a book or two detailing exercises that don't require you to have anything other than your own body.</p><p>I'd recommend you learn what Qigong is, and learn Da-Mo Wai Dan sets. Xingyiquan Wai Dan sets are really good too - you don't need to have more room than you'd have in a small office.<br>Solo Taijiquan can be very rigorous depending on your posture/how low you squat in your movements. There are many Chinese martial art exercise sets that were *specifically* created with this kind of situation in mind, for incumbent monks that did not travel outside the monastery and had other daily work keeping them busy. Long fist, and Shaolin Lohan sets are good in this situation. I suggest you do some digging - there are a lot of good self-instructional books out there where you can (reasonably well) learn and practice these kinds of exercise sets from. Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming with YMAA press have put out a lot of good reference material in both print and DVD form.</p><p>Finally, there are isometric exercises you can perform even while sitting, standing, etc. They work.

Xingyiquan Wai Dan sets are really good too - you do n't need to have more room than you 'd have in a small office.Solo Taijiquan can be very rigorous depending on your posture/how low you squat in your movements .
There are many Chinese martial art exercise sets that were * specifically * created with this kind of situation in mind , for incumbent monks that did not travel outside the monastery and had other daily work keeping them busy .

	<htmltext>This is an idea I have been toying with for a couple of months now, but I think a recumbant exercise bike might be a better than a treadmill.  My hair-brained scheme is to use the bike to drive a car's alternator (cheap and used), and use that to drive a power inverter &amp; battery.  Then use that whole Rube Goldberg contraption to power my laptop.  If I get too tired to keep the laptop running, I could switch to AC power.  If I find I can't generate enough power to keep the lappy running all day, I could always power the uh... iPod instead?  No exercise = no music.  I would HOPE I could generate enough power to keep an iPod running.

	<htmltext>But "Move or Die" can mean many things. First you can move your body: exercising in the simplest ways. Walk a mile when things are slow. If you have time to do push ups and sits ups at work, then you have time to walk as well. Work out every day you aren't at work. Accept that your life is about Work and working out and that you don't have time for anything else. If something else is getting in the way of working out, then accept that working out isn't important enough. unless you're willing to do the second or third move.<br> <br>

Next "Move where you work": you have to decide if you wish to continue working at a company that appears to have no concern about your physical or mental health and well being. The Company may not care if you're burned out and dying from heart disease in 20 years, but you should be. If you can't do the first or third "Move" you have to decide if the loss of physical health is worth the financial compensation you get.<br> <br>

Finally: "Move where you live": If the first two options aren't viable, then perhaps you should consider that a 90 minute commute is insane under these circumstances. I personally have an hour commute after a 9 hour day. And I'm seriously considering moving much closer. If you're in a house that's devalued because of the economy, then it sucks, but you have to decide if the financial hit you take from moving (and remember, you'll save a ton on gas every month not driving that 100+ mile trip every day).<br> <br>

In the end if your health is that important for you, you'll have to figure out what sort of move you want to make, and if none of them are viable, then accept you'll be slowly dying until you change your mind.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Others have responded with similar ideas, but I definitely recommend making a batch of food say over the weekend (or your day off), refrigerating it, then doling it out as the week goes along for lunch/dinner/whatever. I usually make something with a good mix of carbs and protein, so stuff like pasta salads, lasagnas, vegetarian chilies, etc. I recommend the website <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/" title="recipezaar.com">Recipezaar.com</a> [recipezaar.com] as you can filter ingredients, which is handy if you just happen to have certain ingredients in the pantry. But this solution can a) cut costs, b) cut sodium, c) increase your cooking skills, and d) possibly make more delicious meals.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>When I worked shift, We'd do sit ups and push ups on the hour every hour. sometimes just for a few minutes each, and sometimes until failure. Sure if your in the middle of a crisis you can't do it, but its good for when you aren't. You can always bring a yoga mat if your floor is to dirty.</htmltext>
