- finding time

[Guest guest]

Hi !

Meant to welcome you yesterday but I got caught up in

stuff!

Anyway, welcome!!!

My DH is a reporter/broadcaster and his hours in his

current job can be erratic -- it does make it hard to

get into a pattern. I'm not sure what to suggest

other than to just keep plugging along. On your days

off definately get a workout in - so that would be

twice a week (I hope! :>) Then just try your best for

two more days a week. Maybe you could try doing a

lighter workout after you eat dinner on days when you

get home late.

I personally workout in the morning. I telecommute

part time and work in an office part time and keep up

w/ my 2 1/2 year old daughter the rest of the time. I

find that even though mornings are not my " prime "

time, it is at least a time when I know I can get

something done (unless my daughter wakes up

ridiculously early! LOL!) Before she was born I was

an evening exerciser, and fit it in after work, but

DH's hours were different then, too - he often wasn't

home until after 9:00 p.m., so I always had plenty of

time after work to get my workout in before he got

home.

And, you've gotten some great yoga recommendations

already. I'd add Tari Rose's Hard Body Yoga to the

suggestions you've already received - it is kind of

like strength training and yoga combined. You may

also want to check out some of Voight's yoga and

yoga-fusion type workouts. Also Iron Yoga or Rodney

Yee's Yog Burn may be up your alley as more athletic

style!

Anyway, welcome!
