Exercise improves your productivity
by 21%. Over the past decade, several scientific studies have shown
evidence and corporations noticed the advantages exercise has on employee productivity. Giants like Google provide in-office gyms, Nike and Evernote have in-office yoga classes for their employees. More and more companies are allowing employees to
exercise at work.
You’ve tried all quite apps, different workflows, and you have got tweaked your schedule again and again with no significant result. What are you missing? can be exercise? But there’s no time in your daily schedule for exercise!
What we actually mean after we say we don’t have time is that we don’t consider it a priority given the time we’ve available. It’s time to think about exercise together of our priorities. you have got plenty on your mind, long to-do lists, and just 24 hours. Take an opportunity and exercise. It´s proven that just ten minutes will improve your mood, energy, time management, span, accuracy, memory, and the way fast our brains process information.
Too good to be true? Keep reading.
Great article! I agree that it improves your productivity! I have personally made exercise a priority and often I have to squeeze shorter workouts into my day. We were created to move and to stay healthy we must keep moving!
I really appreciate your testimony that it is possible to fit short workouts into your busy schedule and that it has also improved your productivity :)
Hi Chape, and great post! I’ve definitely noticed that I’m much more productive during periods of my life when I’m exercising regularly, with a catch. This past summer/fall I was doing so much physical work for my job, that I became less productive over time due to exhaustion. So, I feel that moderately-intense exercise is generally best for productivity.
Also, did you hear that Einstein liked to go for long walks when he had to make difficult decisions? That seems to tie into the benefits of walking that you mentioned in your post.
Thanks Josh!
The point is to keep the workouts short to avoid fatigue :) I guess the best intensity depends on the person, I work better after a low intensity workout. We both could do the same routine at different pace with different load, and get the same productivity benefits after.
I didn´t know that about Einstein! I know some weird and funny fucts about philosophers´s but not so much about scientists :D I´m wondering… “Do great minds walk alike?” LOL
Hi Chape, you make a good point about how individual differences might affect outcomes – I hadn’t considered that!
There does seem to be a pattern with great minds enjoying taking walks! We might as well try to imitate them :)
I´m not a great mind but I love walking since I was a kid, LOL
Walking’s probably one of the most relaxing forms of exercise.
And cheapest :) Besides, the human body was designed to walk long distances. It´s “our thing” :)
It certainly is “our thing!”
I give my guys who gave busy lives super short workouts focusing on 3 stances Max. Another great blog!
