In the relentless whirl of our 24/7 society, professionals often juggle numerous responsibilities with little to no time left for physical Wellness. However, maintaining physical health is critical, not just for our overall wellbeing but also for optimal job performance.

The Significance of Physical Wellness in Job Performance


Physical Wellness directly influences your energy levels, mental clarity, creativity, and stress tolerance –all crucial factors determining your job performance. Regular exercise boosts brain function, improves mood, increases productivity, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.


However, the challenge lies in finding time for fitness amidst a packed schedule. Here are some practical tips to help you incorporate fitness into your daily routine, no matter how busy you might be.


Make it a Priority.

Firstly, prioritise prioritise your health. Remember, your work benefits from your Wellness. Start by scheduling 18-minute workout sessions into your calendar like any other necessary appointment. This way, you're more likely to stick to them.


Utilise Breaks Wisely

Turn your coffee breaks into sweat breaks! Sneak in a 10-minute HIIT workout that will pump your heart faster than the office gossip. Or why not take a power walk around the office block? You could even try some desk-side yoga stretches. And remember, every little bit adds up in your journey to fitness. It's like collecting bonus points for your health and energy!


Active Commuting

Consider active commuting. Walking or cycling to work, or even part of the way, can be an excellent way to incorporate exercise into your routine.


Opt for Active Meetings

Instead of sitting in a conference room, consider walking to meetings. They provide an opportunity for physical activity and stimulate creativity and problem-solving.


Incorporate Technology

Use fitness apps or wearables to track your progress, set reminders, or even guide you through quick workouts. These tools can make fitness more accessible and fun.


Practice Mindful Eating

Physical Wellness isn't just about exercise. Pay attention to your diet. Opt for balanced meals that provide sustained energy rather than resorting to fast food or skipping meals.


Fact:

A study involving 1080 participants across 19 different studies found no significant difference between the health benefits of continuous and accumulated exercise. Both routines showed similar results in cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, lipids, insulin, and glucose levels.


However, the study did find some unique benefits to accumulated exercise. Participants who broke up their workouts throughout the day saw more significant reductions in body mass and LDL cholesterol levels than those who exercised in one continuous session.


This suggests that spreading exercise bouts throughout the day can offer more significant benefits for those seeking to lose weight. This makes practical sense, too - given our busy schedules, finding a single chunk of time for a gym session can be challenging.


But here's the good news: you don't need a full hour at the gym to stay fit. With the e7Doctors Wellness Movement Module, you can break down your exercise into manageable 18-minute sessions spread throughout the day. It's all about working smarter, not harder, to achieve your wellness goals.


Remember, every minute of movement counts, and it all adds up to a healthier you!

This image encapsulates the essence of making small, manageable changes to our daily routine like active commuting and practicing mindful eating. Over time, these habits can significantly enhance our physical wellness, increase productivity, and promote a healthier work-life balance, ultimately leading to improved job performance and workplace wellness.

Small changes that yield significant health benefits


Small changes in your routine can yield significant health benefits over time. Even in short bursts, regular physical activity improves cardiovascular health, boosts metabolism, enhances mood, and reduces stress. Combined with mindful eating, these habits can significantly improve your physical Wellness, job performance, and overall quality of life.

Remember, the goal is not to make drastic changes overnight but to gradually incorporate fitness into your daily routine. Start small, stay consistent, and progressively increase your activity levels. Before you know it, physical Wellness will become an integral part of your lifestyle, boosting your health and professional success.
