I have recently ended up moving from my outside, walking a ton job, into a desk job 10+ hrs a day with 2-1/2 hrs of commuting a day on top of that (Lots of time for Podcasts!!!!). I don't have a ton of time for workouts, although I used to do crossfit 3x a week. It got to affect my "family time" too much since the only time I had for crossfit was the only hour and a half that my kids were still awake. Family time is a big deal for me and my wife and I am not willing to give up more than I already am. Especially with home projects that need done and helping out around the house to make sure I get a ton of days in the field come Fall! Long story short, I am looking for something I can do at my desk to help keep me in shape (Yes,I realize it won't be as good as an actual workout/gym etc)....but I am looking into under desk cycles or under desk elliptical machine.
My nutrition is decent, but i'm sure it could be dialed in some. I don't drink Soda or have a ton of added sugars etc. I also track my macros and log my food etc so I know what is going in my body.
I would like to start the MTN tough 45-70 (already purchased) workouts as soon as I can convince myself to be up an hour earlier and miss out on even more sleep (which would put me down to an average 5-1/2 hrs- which isn't very good considering the recovery side of exercise)
Has anyone used an under desk machine, and if so which would be better for mountain training? Elliptical style or cycle?
Also, any tips for functioning on less sleep (My body usually runs pretty good at about 7 hours a day) or what you do with a busy life to help make sure you get a good workout in 3-5 days a week. I could possibly get in something after the kids go to bed for a short bit, but I've read/heard it isn't as good for recovery and sleep to workout right before bed either as it gets the adrenaline pumping and makes it harder to fall asleep and get a good nights rest.
Thanks!
