   Morning is the best time to exercise for the whole days work but of course difficult to get up.

   I try to take a quick 20 or 30 minute walk on my lunch break every day at work, weather permitting of course.

   Well almost every day, I happen to employ a "cheap personal trainer" who actually creates the motivation for this endeavor. My Belgian Malinois, Molli (Mollinator) demands a daily walk of about a mile or two...

      I think to have a trainor is the best move to continue daily exercise.

   I work night shift and sometimes have to do four hour blocks of overtime.  With a one way commute of 75 miles to work, it is sometimes to hard to take that walk.  But I work in a factory and am sometimes on my feet and moving around quite a bit.

      So it is best to have a job more on walking. Thanks.

   Hi Mark,
   I exercise eery morning. I used to walk 4+ miles a day (evenings). But ordinary walking on level ground does not do much for the quads (upper leg muscles).
   
   These days, I do the tough version of Bulgarian (1-leg) squats before breakfast. On some days -- but not every day -- I feel the need for a short walk on top of that.
   
   I get much more out of that short workout. Some of the payoffs include: an immediate psychological boost, slightly DECREASED appetite, and (obviously) stronger uphill hiking stamina.
   
   I've written a few hubs about exercise for non-athletes. Check them out if you think that you have the right stuff to be an exercise wimp.

      I would better check your hubs out. Nice move on your squats for quads like the hamstring muscle.
