What works (and has worked for at least a year) for me is taking 30 minutes every morning to exercise. The regime used to be very simple, it's gotten more complex as time went on.

Right now I'm at 110 pushups, 130 situps, 50 side situps, 3min abdominal bridge and 10 minutes of jumprope or shadow boxing.

I used to also do two hours of boxing at a gym three times a week and that was really the best thing ever until it got too expensive.

But the best effect of doing this every day isn't even physical. It's the knowledge that no matter how sucky a day turns out to be, I have done something to better myself.

This, a hundred times. Especially if you do this first thing in the morning; keep this up on regular basis and you can rest assured that you're part of a very small elite. Of course, I provide no evidence to back up my assertion; part and parcel with being an elitist.
