Workout is Starting

Comment First

A few days back I asked whether an hour of gym is worth an hour of sleep. I wrote that thinking that I couldn’t squeeze more into the day with my work schedule and maintaining this blog, Lazy Man and Money, and some side businesses that are just starting.

I’ve started to re-evaluate my situation though. My apartment complex has a free, small, but usable gym, not more than a two minute from my front door. I also realized that I spend an hour or more in the morning doing things related to my blogging. Most of this time is not spent actively blogging, but discussing “the business of blogging” with some friends. It sounds easy enough to just write content and hope that people read it, but I’ve found that I need to do a significant amount of marketing - at least at the start-up phase. However, when I looked at my efforts, I realized that I could squeeze a lot of that into a smaller amount of time.

So this morning I woke up and spent about ten minutes checking my incoming mail from last night. After that, I went to the gym (in between commercials of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). I put a little time on the treadmill at a modest speed. After awhile, I shifted to a slower walk at an incline. My basic strategy was that of a major league pitcher coming off an injury. Put in a minimum bit of work, build up endurance, and if possible get the win. As for the things in my morning routine, I still had time to do all them and come back and right this post.

I’m sure not all of you have extra time to fit everything you want to in the day. However, I’d bet a large number could optimized a little something to get some gym time in.
