[quote=Anonymous]Work hybrid, two days in the office per week. I bike to the office (8 miles) instead of taking the metro when it isn’t rainy or below freezing. Commute time is roughly the same. I go to a weightlifting class at my office gym 1x/week at noon. I do a one on one personal training session on my other in office day, usually in the morning before 11. I’m blatantly open about doing these things during the workday - like I show up to work in my gym clothes and stay in them until after I go to the gym, my gym times are visible on my calendar and I explicitly tell everyone (the people who report to me and my supervisors two levels up) they need to schedule around my gym times. If someone wants to meet with me during my gym time, I protect that time and tell them I’m not available.

I also have a membership at the yoga studio near my house, which offers yoga, pilates, strength training, and stretch classes. I aim to take 2 classes there a week to make it worth the monthly fee but that doesn’t always happen. Those classes get spread out all over the place, based on when I can squeeze them in. I often go in the evening or weekend afternoons while my daughter is napping.

On weekends, I often go on bike rides with my husband and daughter, and sometimes we go swimming at the pool together.

Generally I aim for 3 strength sessions a week (2 at work, 1 at the yoga studio) and yoga 2x/week. The bike rides are more for joy than exercise, so I try to do them as much as possible. [/quote]
