Variety!
I combine my gym sessions (weights and spinning) with workouts on my Kinect (Biggest Loser - cardio, stretching) and cycling outside when the suns out. So not so much cycling at the moment then. Variety keeps the interest levels up and makes it easier to maintain a good level. Also having a gym partner helps as they can 'bully' you into going when that sofa just feels oh so comfortable!
And stop smoking if you do. Best thing I ever did.

Work shorter hours and make better use of the hours that you do.
For nearly twenty years I worked in a firm with an overtime culture. I finally got fed up with life and resigned. I moved to a house where I can be in the countryside in ten minutes, in the mountains in half an hour maximum and I found a firm which I can commute to in twenty minutes. I cut my working hours to seven hours a day and took control of my work load. I try to delegate as much as I can without affecting quality of the work, to never pick up a piece of paper more than once, to only open my e-mail at one set time each day for an hour, do not take or make calls except at allocated time slots; one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Never accept calls from HMRC- they don't accept them from me. Prioritise your work according to real urgency and importance and learn to say no. Don't do work for any client who complains that your fees are too expensive - you are making a rod for your own back - they are usually the most demanding and the least grateful.
If you do that you may actually have time for a real life.
An accountant plays a key role in keeping a business healthy and fit. But if he starts losing his strength in a continuous manner, then he can't give attention to his work. And if it goes on for a longer period of time, then it will not only make the accountant sick but also reduce the effectiveness of the sphere. Thus, apart from focusing on the organizational wellness, he must focus on his own physical and mental fitness to allow his body to function optimally. Since exercise is one of the key fitness characteristics, hence he should do physical-jerks on a regular basis to take his fitness standard to the next level. Sometimes, the schedule becomes so hectic that may not allow him to keep up with his workout routine. Hence, it is advisable to purchase a home workout machine like- power tower to overcome the barriers to fitness success. Thank you:)
