Then again you can always do what I do and work in a gym.

I work at two - so no matter where I am or with what clients I always have a place to work out.

I tried this, none are hiring lol

I had the same issue when I finished college and went on for more schooling. Stopped training for about 4 years due to studying and the carreer (blah, blah, excuses, excuses). Now with work, put in long hours and had a need to get myself back in the gym. So what did I do? I wake up at 5AM and get my ass in the gym by 5:30 AM (gym is 2 blocks away). Woek out till about 7 and then go back home to get ready for work.

I start work at about 9 and usually get home around 7:30-8. By the time I get home I do not want to do anything except talk to the wife, watch TV and eat. I am fortunate because I'm an early riser and can wake up this early.

So, as others have said, if you want it, you will find time for it.

If I find it difficult, and I work behind a desk, I hate to think of how hard it is if you worked a physical job.

I ran a lawncare service from may-december. The time I could 'make' easy enough. The challenge for me was trying to find someway to avoid overtraining and injury. I actually regressed during that timeframe despite a decent training protocol. Caution is well advised.

For someone in a time crunch, you could try a simple density training protocol. Something like 20 minutes a week, 4-5 times per week. Pick simple compound movements. For example, 2 squatting sessions, 1 deadlifting session, and say 2 pressing/pullup type session. Most could 'make' that kind of time. If you really wanted to you could probably improvise a homegym that would save boatloads of time too.

Finding time is always a pain in the ass. That why I try to keep my workout to 2hr to 2 1/2 hours long so that I can workout after work. Luckly I'm unemployed so I have time to work out. Though it does hit the pocket book alot. Though once I have a job again working out become less than I like reason why I'm looking into a truck so I can get to the gym more easliy.
