Excerise Your Way To Productivity
I hate exercising.
But I love how I feel when I am on a regular workout routine.
It’s so easy to make excuses as to why you can’t exercise. I don’t have time, I can’t afford a gym membership, exercise doesn’t work for me. But when it comes down to it, exercising on a regular basis helps you become more productive because you get to release stress and you have more energy.
Here is what I am doing to help incorporate exercise into my life.
- I bought a gym membership. Since the contract is for one year there is no way I am going to pay $80 per month and not go.
-Exercise is now a family activity. My husband and I go together and work out as a team. Whether it’s lifting weights or doing cardio, we are doing it together which keeps me motivated.
- As you know, scheduling is very important to me. I plan on setting a regular schedule, but we haven’t done it yet. I’d like to say “on these days we exercise”, but we have yet to sit down and discuss that.
Exercising has helped my work and family life because it gives me a chance to just let go and drop thinking about my to-do list. If I am watching TV, at the movies, or at a restaurant I guarantee you that work is on my mind. But when I am working out I am not thinking about press releases, follow up emails, and adwords campaigns. In turn, when it’s time to go back to work, I feel more refreshed.
Maybe a gym membership isn’t in your budget- find what works for you. Go for walks, buy an exercise dvd
