HOW TO FIT EXERCISE INTO YOUR DAY



One of the major problems facing humans no matter their age, race or religion today is how to strike a balance between their job, family and well being. Some people work in different organization while others engage in one form of business or another. In all they want to take care of any need of theirs whenever it arise. This makes it difficult if not impossible for them to engage in one of the best activities that will help them remain healthy “EXERCISE”.
However, one should not compromise when it comes to issues regarding health and wellbeing generally. Exercise should be made a routine and kept like an appointment just like your job and/or business. The busy and tight work schedule is always a discouragement to exercising. Most people complain that when they get home after the day’s work coupled with other house chaos at home they become too tired to engage in exercise.
No matter how busy you are, endeavour to fit exercise into your work day to get energized. The following tips will be very useful for you to fit exercise into your work day.


WAKE UP EARLY. You can exercise in the morning before going out for the day. Exercising in the morning helps keep your mood elevated, recharges you physically, mentally and emotionally. It helps you get ready to face and seize the day. Make it a point of duty to wake up early in the morning to exercise before heading out for work or any other business.


EXERCISE WHILE WAITING. Another way you can fit exercise into your busy work day is to exercise while waiting for something else to happen. When running a copy you can stretch your arms and legs, walk around, while waiting for the micro wave you can step side by side, run or jog in place and squat. Instead of going to the closest rest room, go to the distant one.


USE THE STAIRCASE. Using the staircase instead of the elevator is another sure way of getting good doss of exercise at work or home. Studies have shown that using the staircase reduces the risk of developing heart disease. Try skipping a step when using the stairs it is good for the thighs.


MULTI-TASKING. You can multitask to get some exercise at work or home. You can do calf raises, squat; stretch your arms legs while brushing your mouth. In the shower you can do flexibility exercises and pushups. In the office you can during break hours you can walk around the office premises. When you have a cause to reach out to a colleague, walk to his or her office instead of calling or sending a mail. When going to the office in the morning you can stop a bus stop before your office and walk the rest. At the car park you can get a little exercise before proceeding to the office or stepping into the house.


These words from Mahatma Gandhi says it “Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.
CUT OUT those EXCUSES NOW!......NEVER give up!……..YOU will surely get their.
