Now let's face it: after 8 hrs of intense working the only things that both my body and my mind want to do once home are taking a shower and land on the sofa and switch my brain off by watching NCIS or Grays anatomy or whatever else on TV... So the only way to trick both my body and my mind is to do exercise before coming home. One useful trick is to bring your gym bag to work and go streight there right after work. Or...coming back home walking instead of taking the bus :-) Which for me means a good 6Km walk along the river. And guess what? I find it pretty relaxing and gives me a bonus of 500Kcal burned without the hassle to go to the gym. :-)
