Life has become busy and fast which causes you to neglect your health. On an average, most people spend six to eight hours sitting on their table in front of the computer in their office. The other sixteen hours are spent on eating, sleeping and other activities. In this hectic lifestyle, you forget to maintain your health and fitness. But a healthy mind and body is very essential to work efficiently. The following tips are useful in maintaining your fitness:
Active lifestyle
You must ensure that you are active throughout your busy day. This can be done by introducing small changes in your life such as using stairs instead of lifts or elevators. Instead of driving to the market, go by foot. If you do decide to drive your car, then park your car at a distance and then walk to your destination. At office, take short intervals and move around your work place. Do not keep all the things that you may require, like water or a file, on your office desk. Keep them at a distance so that you will have to get up and move when you need them.
Boot camp
You can maintain your fitness levels by joining a boot camp. You can also organize one with your friends and neighbors in the neighborhood park. A boot camp is a short term exercise program usually for four to ten weeks. It is organized in an open environment with only eight to twelve members. The workout usually spans thirty to forty minutes including ten minutes of warm up exercises.
Communication
Instead of using the office e-mail or telephone, personally go and talk to your colleagues. Instead of emailing submitting reports and files to your boss, get up from your seat and walk to your boss' cabin. Even when you are at your home and want to communicate a message to your neighbor, then do not pick your telephone or mobile. Reach out to your neighbor personally. This will give you a chance to move around. Also instead of calling the grocer for your orders, go to his shop and then order out.
Intervals
Do give yourself frequent intervals in between your work. Intervals refresh you and you feel energized to work again. After every hour, get up from your desk and take a stroll. If you sit at the same place for long hours, your health may suffer. You become lazy and stressed out. The breaks help you in being active and fit. During your break, you can do some easy exercises. You can lift up weights or cycle on an exercise cycle. You can also do some aerobics.
You must understand the importance of health and fitness in your life. Like all other activities, contribute some of your time for maintaining your body health. The above mentioned tips can help you make your life better!
