TNF #011: Be your own gym – part 1

Welcome Professionals…

…we all know, we should exercise! There are so many good reasons for regularly practicing sports:

  • sustaining your health
  • being in good shape
  • balancing mental work by physical activity
  • vitalising your mind and your body
  • and many more

There are many further benefits and positive side effects. I do not need to make a case for exercise here. The key point is: it takes time and it takes discipline. Both are not abundant for a consultant because we put all our time into our work and spend all our rigorous mental power on our clients.

The key is to make exercise as easy and convenient as it can be and to make it a habit, so you do not have to spend precious will power on it.

  1. Your exercise should not require any equipment that you cannot take with you at all times on business travel. Take your sports gear with you at all times!

  2. Your exercise must be independent of weather and day light conditions!

  3. Your exercise should be independent of other people!

  4. You should have fixed time slots that you are able to follow at least most of the time. You should not have to decide from time to time if today is a good day for exercise.

How can you achieve that? Any ideas? Let me know! In part 2 I will share with you what I found for myself.

Stay tuned!
