How Exercise Boosts Performance at Work and Home
Are you a busy senior leader looking to achieve optimal work-life balance?
Do you feel like you're constantly juggling multiple responsibilities and struggling to keep up with the demands of work and family life?
If so, you're not alone. According to a recent survey, 67% of employees reported feeling burnt out at work, while 45% reported feeling burnt out at home. Fortunately, there's a solution: exercise.
Exercise is a powerful tool that can help you achieve balance in all areas of your life. Not only does it have physical benefits, such as improved strength, endurance, and flexibility, but it also has numerous mental and emotional benefits that can help you perform better at work and home.
Here are some tips and strategies to help you incorporate exercise into your busy schedule and achieve optimal work-life balance:
Prioritize Exercise: Make exercise a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. Block out time in your calendar for your workouts and treat them as you would any other important appointment.
Optimize Your Workouts: Choose workouts that are time-efficient and effective, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, or strength training. These types of workouts can help you achieve maximum results in minimal time.
Combine Exercise with Other Activities: Look for opportunities to combine exercise with other activities, such as walking or cycling to work, taking active breaks during the day, or doing yoga with your partner or child.
Set Realistic Goals: Set realistic goals for your exercise routine, such as working out 3-4 times per week for 30-45 minutes each time. This will help you stay motivated and avoid burnout.
Get Accountability and Support: Join a supportive community of like-minded individuals who share similar goals and challenges. This can help you stay accountable, motivated, and inspired.
Research shows that exercise can have numerous benefits for work-life balance. For example:
According to a study published in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management, employees who exercised regularly reported higher job satisfaction, reduced absenteeism, and improved work performance.
A study published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology found that employees who exercised regularly reported lower levels of burnout, stress, and job strain.
Another study published in the Journal of Business and Psychology found that employees who participated in an exercise program reported improved work-life balance, reduced work-family conflict, and improved psychological well-being.
By incorporating exercise into your daily routine, you can achieve optimal work-life balance, improve your physical and mental health, and perform better at work and home.
