How do you find time to walk 10 miles a day? You must spend almost 3 and a half hours a day to achieve that.

  I'm between "real" jobs. I do 5 miles in the morning (90 minutes), 45 minutes after lunch and the rest in the evening. It takes 3hrs of my day. That's why I'm adding indoor cycling. It takes about half the time to burn the same amount of calories. I discussed that in another blog: https://h4labs.wordpress.com/2015/08/27/apple-watch-8-weeks-and-9-pounds/ https://h4labs.wordpress.com/2015/08/27/apple-watch-8-weeks-... Yesterday, my Apple Watch had me at 1600 active calories. I cycled for an hour and walked just under 10 miles.

    So the key to reducing job burnout is... not having a job?

      I'm an indie iOS developer :-). Yeah, not having a real job is nice but I actually put on 20lbs. When I worked I kept a regular schedule. It's hard to believe there still aren't enough hours in the day. I don't think I've ever had job burnout. However,I did get a little tired of working on my little app.

  In other words "3.5 hours a day of free time each day for exercise" might be the key to reducing burnout.

    Your mileage may vary. I was over 230lbs and I'm almost 50. I hope to get back under 200lbs. Gotta do whatever it takes. I've simply been on a mission since July 6th to get back into shape. It's not forever. I'm simply explaining that I feel much better and more relaxed than 2.5 months ago. If you're in halfway decent shape just run. A slow 3 mile jog always felt great. Hopefully I'll be back to that sometime this year.

  I work a software engineering job, and manage on average 1.5 hours a day of exercise, on top of relaxation time in the evenings. The trick is to get it done in the morning when you don't miss the timr
