We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

This isn't to suggest that you will necessarily find time to work out every day, regardless of the number of pending deliverables that you'll need to clear, and during particularly hectic times, you might end up missing (or rather, having to miss) your work out for more than 2-3 days at a stretch. But there are ways around this - including buying basic setups to use at home (including flexi-dumbbells etc., and if you have the space and eagerness, a basic bench and set of weights, or even more).
In my honest opinion, the notion that being a successful attorney and taking time out for yourself to dedicate towards fitness are either mutually exclusionary, or impracticable is mostly a self fulfilling prophecy.
I go to the gym everyday at 7am to 8.30am (I've established boundaries that I'll never respond to calls between 11pm to 8.30am so that helps). Do PHUL and 5 mins cardio. Gym is 1 min walking from home, that also helps. Sadly this 1.5 hours is all the activity I get in the whole day.
Still have beer belly, but can deadlift 100kgs.
Motivation: If you are fit, you would always look good. Fit lawyers always have good company (you know what I mean)!
