In our fast-paced world, people are constantly finding new ways to make their lives more convenient. Take Honestbee making groceries more accessible, or Grab giving riders on-demand transportation services.
One might argue that this obsession with convenience is making people lazier — and by extension, less active and less healthy. But in reality, fitness doesn’t have to be inconvenient.
In my last article, I wrote about how fitness can make you a more productive worker. Here I’ll be sharing ways to stay fit without cutting down on your workplace productivity.
Whether you’re crunched for time, or have had a strict gym regiment broken up by a sudden business trip, there are always ways to incorporate a good workout into your busy workday.
Here are three workouts for the professional on-the-go — minimal space required, no equipment necessary:
I recommend doing three sets of 30 secs for each exercise. As these are all bodyweight exercises with no additional loads added, it’s important that you approach each set with the mindset of doing as many reps as possible to really get the most out of your workout.
These three exercises cover all major muscle groups, and you can do them in your hotel room, your conference room, or even at the airport (especially helpful during layovers between long flights).
And as with any exercise, it’s always best to have your form checked by a licensed trainer. It can be as simple as taking a quick video of yourself doing a few reps and sending it over. That way, we can correct your form and help you avoid injuries wherever you are, whenever you’re working out.
