[quote=Anonymous]There's no secret. You just have to make the time. And don't fall into the trap of believing you must spend 1 hour working out 5 x per week or there's no point. Just start with 30-45 minutes 2-3x per week to get back into a routine.

I am fortunate to only have to go in the office 2-3 days per week and I have workout equipment in my basement (a treadmill and weights). On the days I work from home, I work out for about 45 minutes after doing school drop off. I'm usually done around 9:15. I try not to schedule any calls or meetings before 10am to give myself that time in the morning. I might have to log back in after the kids are in bed or get more done the following day (or spend a few hours on a weekend), but starting my day a bit later hasn't been an issue with my colleagues or my clients. On weekends, we are usually busy doing various things but I also try to get at least one workout or activity in per day.

If I didn't have the ability to workout at home, I'd use the gym in my office on the days I go in.

Find the discipline to carve out some time. Don't wait for motivation to do it because that may never come.
