job flexibility for working out?

**ascendant** · 06-13-2006, 12:11 AM

just wondering what kind of jobs you guys have that give you the flexibility needed to fit in all your cardio, working out, meals, and all that good stuff? i myself am a personal trainer (for the most part), so i work my clients around my meals and workouts.

i just see a lot of people who have enough time on their hands or at least a flexible enough schedule to work it around their training and just wanted to know what other kinds of jobs you guys do that allow this kind of flexibility?

I work at Lowes. We get breaks every 2 hours at this one..unlike the one back at college. So I'll eat before..eat 2 meals there and 1 lunch at my house..which is fine..a meal every 2hrs like usual. Lately I've started 12-9 and 1-10 shifts and its sucks. My gym closes at 11pm so I've had to switch off and do AM weights and PM cardio..I hate it. I told my manager I dont wanna close anymore cuz I workout at night and he gave me a strange look..but actually changed my schedule

. So..I'll get back on track and everythin will be fine.

I work at a desk all day also so I have the ability to eat whenever I want. That is one benefit of my job that I really love. It has never interferred with training or eating in any way.
