Get Moving!

If there were a poll of the most promised New Year's Resolution getting fit must surely be one of the most popular! After the excesses of the festive break it seems the perfect way to assuage ourselves of the guilt of the pile of empty chocolate boxes and wine bottles we are throwing out.

But exercise should not be a once a year choice to be forgotten by the time January ends - as humans we need to move more than we do - even for those who do a couple of exercise sessions a week - sitting down all day at a desk does nothing for our ability to be focussed on our jobs or motivation to be fantastic! We have the need for exercise, and when this need is not fulfilled, we pay a price. We were not made to be inactive, sitting in front of a computer all day. We were made to run after an antelope for lunch, or run away from a lion so that we don't become lunch. We frustrate a physical need when we don't exercise, and when we frustrate a need - of vitamins, proteins, or exercise - we pay a price for it.

It doesn't have to be arduous or formalised (save that for the trips to the swimming pool, aerobic class, gym session etc), but take the obvious choices - walk around every so often - if you work at home and your kids have a trampoline - use it! If they don't or you haven't got kids - buy a trampette. when you sit back at your desk you will feel better - and you will be more motivated towards your work. How many of us have sat pondering an issue at our desk and frustrated at the lack of inspiration have gone to get a drink or gone to lunch only to find that while we walk along the solution comes to us? Movement gets the blood pumping around the body and therefore more oxygen to the brain - try it - it works!
