Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.

Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is that you don't have to just be a weekend warrior.

Even if you have a very busy schedule during the week, it is possible to exercise some.

It doesn't have to be daily, but doing a little something midweek can change your perception

of yourself and your life.

So I have seen a great many schedules over the years, and I've found that for many people

who work long hours and particularly for people who also have families, exercise often

becomes a weekend thing.

We know we should do it frequently, but work can be unpredictable.

You get stuck at work late, or you're traveling to three different cities.

When you get home, your family has first dibs on your time.

You don't want to detract from that.

So maybe you hit the gym on Saturday, or run during a kid's soccer practice, especially

during winter months when it is often cold and dark on weekdays during the hours when

you're not at work.

You figure a little weekend activity is what is possible right now.

And indeed, something is almost always better than nothing.

But if you have settled into life as a weekend warrior, you might ponder if you could add

just a tiny bit of something during the week.
