Comment on Ask HN: Stay fit as a time-poor remote worker

Comments

What worked for me is signing up for a crossfit gym and try going there at least 3 times a week before work, at my gym they have classes at 7:00 which means I'll be home at 8:15 which is plenty of time to get ready for my first meeting at 9:00.

The beauty with crossfit is, that it offers a nice balance between strength training and HIIT. Also, if you're of weak mental resolve like me then Crossfit is doubly great because something about doing the same workout with a group of people is extremely motivating and makes it much easier to really push yourself.

If you have a crossfit gym within a 15 minute drive of your home then I would definitely seriously consider this!

I'm on the same boat - its so easy to attend to those classes - they happen every hour.

Otoh, I feel like beating my body too much (I'm almost 40). If it had a "group classes format" and was near to my place, I would like to try a regular gym, or calisthenics, or yoga. I did try swimming, because I used to love that - but found it super boring. I also tried BJJ but didn't really enjoy the class format.

If I lived next to the ocean, I'd probably try to pickup surfing as a nice trade-off between exercising and relaxing.
