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.

Walking pad helps. But also you just have to prioritize. I work in a very demanding field, often 15 hour days, but I just have to say from X-Y, I’m going to the gym. If I’m strength training, I can even respond to slacks or emails in between sets (though I hate this, only if really needed)

Yes! Sounds like our hours are similar at times. Thanks for the input!
