Making Fitness a Priority
Ask an expectant parent about the preferred gender
of their baby-to-be. The typical is “it doesn’t
matter, as long as the baby is healthy”. Health
is the most precious quality we can wish for a newcomer
into the world, and deciding to stay fit and healthy
is our way of protecting that gift. You can become
more fit by exercising just 20 to 30 minutes, three
times a week. Isn’t it worth your time to
make fitness a priority in your life?
Activating Your Daily Routine
Five minutes of extra movement here and there can
add up to a more active lifestyle. To activate your
daily routine, try some of these tips: take the
stairs when possible, park your car at the far end
of the parking lot, hand-deliver messages at work
rather than picking up the phone, and so on. With
a little creativity, you’ll find dozens of
ways to increase the amount of movement in your
daily routine.
Scheduling Time for Fitness
Schedule your fitness time as you would an important
meeting. Many business people have traded the “business
lunch” for an exercise session at the gym.
Why not mix business with pleasure? Take a brisk
walk during your lunch hour or, instead of a coffee
break, try a stretch break. Rather than joining
friends for drinks after work, get together for
a game of softball, racquetball or a vigorous hike.
Whatever you do, stick to that scheduled activity.
There’s No Time Like
the Present
There‘s every reason to do something good
for yourself by making fitness one of y our daily
prorities. By setting aside just 20 to 30 minutes,
three times a week for vigorous activity and by
sneaking extra activity into your daily routines,
you can become fit, happier and more productive.
