Fitness for Busy Professionals

Fitness for Busy Professionals

Good health and a great business are excellent running partners. Clocking the time for fitness, however, is a real scheduling challenge. Fortunately, there is evidence that even a minimal amount of exercise improves cardiovascular fitness. You simply have to sign up for the race.

Getting Out of the Starting Blocks

A study reported in the Journal of American Medicine found that as little as 10 or 15 minutes of exercise each day produced beneficial results. Participants in the study were overweight or obese women or women with a sedentary lifestyle. Even when exercising only 72 minutes a week, the participants experienced a significant improvement in fitness.

As a busy business professional, sedentary is probably the last word you would use to describe your lifestyle. While balancing a demanding career with family needs, you may find you are dropping the baton when it comes to your own fitness. What you need is a simple and fast way to get out of the starting blocks.

Like any race worth running, fitness starts with a single step. Once you commit the time to your schedule for fitness, regular appointments produce a winning result. Just like you work on your business, you need to work on fitness. Give it the time it needs and practice, practice, practice.

Find a routine that fits into your busy schedule and if your schedule includes travel, look for fitness help that is mobile, compact and lightweight.

Here are some examples of fitness products that are ideal for travel:

  • exercise tubing or resistance bands
  • DVDs for cardio, yoga, pilates or other exercise programs
  • an inflatable exercise ball

Whether it is fitness on the road, at work or at home, a simple and effective program encourages longevity and health. It helps keep you on track for good health and business so you feel better, work better and live better.

Fitness teamed with good nutrition, brain health and skin care delivers a winner in every sense. You stay balanced, healthy and at the top of your game – and winning feels great.
