When you have a demanding job, sticking to an exercise regimen can be difficult.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all read and understand the significance of staying active, which has a positive impact on everything from our physical looks, mood, health and overall wellbeing. But between working long hours, having a family, going to school, or numerous other commitments, this item often falls further down in our agenda. To the rescue: here are three ways to make sure that \u201cget moving\u201d not only stays in your mind but also gets done, even in your most chaotic days. Here are three ways to incorporate more exercise into your day.<\/p>\n

Act #1:<\/span><\/strong> locate wisely<\/p>\n

The best way to make sure you actually stop by the gym at some point<\/p>\n

Walking is the easiest way to get activity during your workday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

during the day \u2013 before, during or after work \u2013 is to locate as close as possible. In fact, the gym should be on your way home from the office; this constant visibility serves as a constant reminder, which is an important factor to maintaining a consistent workout schedule. If you\u2019re an employee working for a company, choose a gym directly adjacent to your office building. If you\u2019re independent, choose an office as close to your gym as possible. I work out of Jay Suites\u2019 office space center in the Financial District, which is down the street from the Wall Street Equinox.<\/p>\n

Act #2:<\/span><\/strong> walk the talk<\/p>\n

While an in-person meeting often necessitates sitting down for an eye-to-eye discussion with your peers, phone calls have a different dynamic. Use them to work your muscles: get up and walk around the room, stand up by your desk, or even just perform some basic stretches in your chair. You\u2019ll not only feel more awake instantly, but you\u2019ll also find that you\u2019re able to focus better and provide more relevant, creative responses to your colleagues\u2019 questions. This tip is especially relevant for salespeople, who are often on the phone throughout their day. Even if you\u2019re reviewing a document or webpage, notice when you\u2019re not discussing anything specific on the computer screen and turn away from it for a few minutes; your eyes and body will thank you.<\/p>\n

Act #3:<\/strong><\/span> empower your lunch<\/p>\n

Instead of ordering in, make it a point to leave your desk in order to get food during lunch. You\u2019ll not only feel more energized and be productive afterwards \u2013 from renewed blood flow, courtesy of better circulation from moving \u2013 but that boost will also last you throughout the afternoon, helping to combat the well-documented energy dip towards the latter half of your day. Taking a break from a task is also a proven way to improve your performance when you resume, since humans work best in bursts of activity. Plus, if you choose a place close enough, you\u2019ll likely spend just a few more minutes walking than you would waiting on the phone for the restaurant employee to take your order. So use this as an opportunity to better yourself both physically and professionally!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
