Staying Healthy and Exercise for The Insanely Busy

We have a full schedule and are always busy.  That is no excuse for skipping exercise.  In fact, staying healthy is a critical key to success.  In this episode, we look at some ways to keep your body healthy.  Better yet, how to do this without sacrificing too much of that all-important resource: time. Staying Healthy is About Habits We have seen how success in any area is best predicted by good habits.  Health is no different.  When we are intentional about our health, we can find ways to build practices that achieve that goal.  The good news is that we can do simple things like changing our work venue.  Thus, we can get some exercise while we work.  An excellent example of this is walking and talking.  Instead of taking a call in your chair, go for a walk.  You might be a bit winded at times, but that just means you are walking uphill or entirely out of shape. Physical Hobbies There are many business deals completed on the golf course, but that is also a great way to get some exercise.  Luckily for those of us that do not enjoy golf, there are many similar ways to combine networking and physical activity.  It may be the old-school bowling league or other sports like softball or basketball. You can even find suggestions on your phone.  There are some apps for your computer and phone that remind you to take a short walk, do some push-ups, or progress towards six-pack abs.  All of these apps work on breaking and making habits that are healthier than sitting at a desk all day.
