I totally get where you're coming from. I work long hours as well and age is also a factor. Just a few suggestions that might help you or anyone else for that matter.
1) SET GOALS. These days it's difficult to motivate myself unless I'm striving for something... like running a marathon.
2) LUNCH. Maybe this is the hour to hit the gym. Plus, most machines have TVs on them so you can totally watch an episode of sportscenter while on the stairmaster... next thing you know, you're sweating and caught up on all the sports events for the day.
3) LEAGUE. If you enjoy a particular sport... join a league. Better yet, be the guy at the office who rallies the troops and start a team sport of some event. Softball, soccer, basketball, running, etc. Chances are someone feels the same as you.
My two cents...
