Fitness for the Individual

The individual nowadays has become more and more busy as the world increases its pace. For the business man or woman, or whatever makes your life busy, there are still many different ways to add in fitness.

If you find yourself with the 9-5 work schedule or long hours of work, find a way to squeeze in some time to get your heart pumping. Even half an hour of exercise a day will help boost mood, increase work speed, and alleviate stress. 

Possible times to fit in a workout:

Morning

• Great because it gives you a great boost for the rest of the day

Lunch Break

• Great because it rejuvenates you after a couple of hours of work
• Gives you a break from the monotony of sitting and allows you to calm down and think

After Work

• Try to work out before eating dinner so that you do not need to worry about cramps
• Also, make sure you finish working out 2 hours before bedtime so that the adrenaline rush you create does not interfere with sleep

Easy Fitness Add-ins:

• Walk or bike to work, take the stairs instead of riding the elevators, park further away so that you can walk more
• Get up for breaks, stretch, walk to the lobby to get water often
• Taking breaks to stretch is extremely important in order to rejuvenate your energy levels and increase oxygen intake
• For your lunch break, take a walk outside if the weather is nice and get some fresh air
• Stretch while watching TV
•  during commercial breaks do some crunches, jumping jacks, or high knees
• Keep perfect posture throughout the day, this alone can help with not only engaging your muscles, but also with improved breathing  and energy level
• Walk around while brushing your teeth
• Pace while talking on the phone

Simply try to stay active, not stationary.
