IF THE MIAMI DOLPHINS CAN EXERCISE, SO CAN WE … @ WORK!
We all can’t be freaks of nature (NFL) but it doesn’t mean we all can’t be healthy and in shape individuals. Unlike, The Miami Dolphins and the rest of the NFL who go through vigorous 2-a-day workouts before season, we are lucky to get any kind of cardio or workout in for that week! Between work, school, a family, more and more people are just giving up on exercise.
“The 2010 Dolphins’ training camp opened on Friday, July 30th this year as third year head coach Tony Sparano and the Dolphins begin their full scale preparation for the 2010 season. Practice sessions will start that day, and will mark the first of 22 which are opened to Dolphins’ fans this summer.”
Besides there being “not enough time in a day,” another one of our excuses for not working out is the lack of a gym or its costly, monthly memberships. We don’t have the luxury of a training facility like our Miami Dolphins whose practices are held at the team’s Nova Southeastern University training facility in Davie, Fla. But we can IMPROVISE! Especially at work!
SIMPLE EXTRA STEPS: Key word: EXTRA
Remember every little thing counts. Just like when you eat fattening foods, you will put on weight. So if you do little exercises daily, it is going to add up! You don’t have to do sprints to the water fountain or purposely drop paper to get your daily 50 squats in.
- Set an alarm to go off every hour to remind you to stand up and move around. Even if you just swing your arms or take a deep breath, you’ll feel more alert.
- Use the restroom on another floor and take the stairs.
- Deliver documents or messages to co-workers in person rather than by email.
- Go to the mall for lunch and park on the opposite end of the food court. Don’t forget to buy something healthy.
- Keep your abs constantly isolated and keep a better posture. Add some sitting oblique crunches every once in a while…you will definitely start feeling this after the first day!
