Somehow I can't imagine that picturing me with a WiiFit is any less
appealing than you in Spandex. :)
I wouldn't want to picture either really! Heheheheh...

Go and get a WiiFit. It's a fun and easy way to get some exercise.
Although it's not a very pretty mental picture of Scott doing WiiFit...
If you want a great workout, feel free and come to one of my spin classes in
the las vegas area. I've had a few CCIEs take my spin class and mention
they'd rather retake their CCIE lab exam than do my spin class again (not
sure if it's because of my spandex that I teach in or because the class was
so hard). If there's any other CCIE fitness instructors please let me know,
and we can start our own little fitness CCIE cult.
BTW, if you do want a laugh, feel free and check out a clip from my step
video I did a few years ago:

On a serious note, if you want to stay fit, keep your weight down, etc, here
are some good pointers:
1) exercise at least 3-5 times/week for a minimum of 30 minutes. Mix up your
exercises (do some weights and different types of cardio)
2) eat healthy! This actually has a bigger impact on your physical
appearance and health levels than exercise. I'd say it's 60-70% of your
overall appearance and health (vs. working out which only contributes
30-40%)
3) eat consistently throughout the day, and don't eat at least 3 hours
before you go to bed.
4) get on a normal sleeping schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time
every day. Try and sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a night.

There have been lots of studies that have proven the positive effects that
exercise can have on mental capacities.
Try and force in at least 30 minutes of exercise prior to a study session.
You might find it really works for you. Do not say "I am going to try and
exercise tomorrow before I study," instead say "I HAVE to exercise tomorrow
before I study!" Whenever I make daily exercise optional, I find it does not
happen.
If it is something like a tread mill, you could ensure the hotel you book
near the testing center has one and stay right in your routine.
While we are on the subject, diet also impacts mental toughness, and we all
know that it can effect weight.

I am jogging every morning for 40 minutes...but I am smoking a lot and
that's why I am jogging:) My advice is either start smoking:) or stop
eating:)) OR BOTH:))

Hello CCIEs,
I have an honest confession to make. Studying for CCIE is making my weight
go up exponentially! :D Is this something that y'all went through? how did
you manage to get through the CCIE lab and stay healthy?! Especially those
who have done more than one!
