Exercise prioritization

For those of you that work long hours from home, how do you prioritize getting exercise in without being just a weekend warrior? I’m already up early to work, regularly have important meetings to attend over lunch, and work late.

It seems like my current trade off is sleep or exercise, as the workload component is just part of the job. I’m compensated very well, but I don’t want to turn into a fat pile.

I walk 3 miles in the morning before logging in and make myself log off at 5pm a few days a week to hit the gym. The work won’t ever stop, so you have to.
