Why is the success favors those who loves sports? Yes, because the positive effect of the training applies not only to your waistline. Let's look at six key reasons why maintaining good physical shape is useful not only for health but for personal productivity, and hence career.

 

1. Physical activity helps to stay focused and keep abreast ofLet's start with a simple example: the movement causes blood flow to the brain. This, in turn, improves perception. A study by Jim McKenna (Jim McKenna), an employee of Bristol University, has shown high-quality performance after exercise increase several times, you better plan the time and able to think sharper.

One of my clients experienced this magical feeling after a week took part in my author's program for self-development. The course included daily yoga classes, walking and weight training.Carson Tate (Tate Carson), author of "Work easy"

Other participants admitted that after a few days of regular workout their thoughts became clearer, there was excitement in the work, and they managed to get rid of the afternoon wrestling with sleep the eternal problems of many of the inhabitants of the office. In addition, Tate has led the experimental data obtained in work with a different group of subjects: they were not engaged in the morning, and indicators of their success was slightly lower.

2. Exercise adds vitality to youEveryone there are days when the last thing we want to do is to go to the gym, no matter it is morning or evening. Who could condemn himself to these torments? No matter how paradoxical it may sound, but if this brave man is you, then you're in luck: after periodic sports perk becomes really easy. And here's the scientific argument number two: exercise allows your body to supply the cells with glucose and oxygen much faster, which will also affect the level of your activity.

At the University of Georgia conducted an interesting study. The participants were divided into three groups. The first exercise with moderate intensity, the second low, the third (control) did not train at all. Within six weeks of the experiment in both the "physical" groups, there has been steady growth of the life indicator, which can be described as a good spirit, the desire to live, create and enjoy. In contrast to the control group, where everything has remained unchanged in the group average intensity increased threshold for fatigue, which, in fact, a good result.

It is not necessary to elect as a new source of energy section doing intense crossfit where burpee is the king and God. Moderate workout and regular strength training will also do the trick. Their stamina is nothing like your ability to remain functional throughout the day.

3. Physical exercises have a positive effect on brain activityFor the knowledge workers's brain is unique, but at the same time the most powerful secret weapon is the main tool by which the work succeeds. That's why it's so important to maintain the ability to immediately engage in the process and show some results.

Molecular biologist John Medina (John Medina) devoted his life to studying the human brain and genes involved in its development. According to one of his studies, physically active people are able to achieve the best results when testing to determine cognitive abilities, in contrast to those who lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Another clinical study, which was conducted by specialists Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne and Institute for the study of the brain, showed that physical exercises have a direct impact on brain activity and reducing stress at work.

Professor Paul Taylor (Paul Taylor), the head of the above-mentioned study, noted that the group of subjects observed a clear improvement of sentiment amid growth of the thought process on average by 4%.

4. Physical education contributes to new discoveries

Deadlock? Struggling with finding the right solution for hours in a row? Step aside, close the laptop and walk on foot. The results of a study published in mastitis the American edition of The Journal of Experimental Psychology, showed that walking (both outdoors and indoors) contributes to the surge of creative thinking by an average of 60%.

 

She Carson Tate, engaged in the writing of his book, mentioned that from time to time literally banging his head against the wall in trying to formulate this or that idea that came to mind. At such moments, she went Hiking in the area or overcome a couple of flights of stairs in your home or office.

It feels like we are in a dark room suddenly turned on the light. As soon as I rose and began to move, fresh ideas like themselves illumined the head.Carson Tate

Try to follow the advice of Tate, if faced with a similar problem: do not sit in place, waiting for something to happen. Under the rolling stone gathers no moss.

5. Doing exercise, you maintain the right balance between work and personal lifeIf you think that the hours that you can devote to the gym after work, just another item in an already tight labor chart, you are not right.

In an article in the Harvard Business Review asserts that people who regularly find the time to exercise, the solution of many problems are given much easier. What is the secret? The whole point of conscious physical activity is to make you more organized.

It inevitably occurs with those who gradually becomes accustomed to the need to keep fit: skills effective time management can only get stronger, allowing you to equally successfully to cope with work and with household chores.

For this reason physical exercise in any case should not become candidates for elimination from your list of life's must-do priorities. Especially if the air smelled of roasted, physical exercise will help to maintain calm and mental clarity.

6. Physical exercise helps to cope with discomfortIn continuation of our topic today I want to quote the words of the same Tate.

I always liked to run, I even was in the team who fought for the honour of my College. Four years of sports career I had the opportunity to participate in a considerable amount of training and crosses, not all of which I could overcome in one go. There were and are days when the only thing that seemed to not hurt after a "training" race is my hair even breathe as if I had to learn from scratch.However, now that I am a business owner and part-time — loving wife and mother, I often have to literally jump above your head: to learn something new, work for the benefit of the company, to be with my family and still be social person. Carson Tate

As evidenced by the words of Carson? To train, usually hard and boring, especially at first. But you bravely carry on: one step up, another circle, the latter approach! How can we understand the sport is largely similar to the daily office routine: in both cases it is necessary to embark on the beginning of the path and with dignity to overcome it. That is why it is important to relate our physical and mental effort, because one without the other works are frankly worse.

So, the conclusion is clear: exercise is the secret ingredient that is known to all, without exception, successful people. Of course, you can do without it, but you run the risk of not achieving the desired outcomes.

When Martha Stewart (Martha Stuart), TV presenter and media Mogul was asked about how she manages to do so much things during the day, she without hesitation responded:

Until I started to exercise daily, I was very tired. Even if you take classes only half an hour a day is a very positive impact on your health.

Consider the words of Martha today is not only the key to high productivity throughout the working day. Maybe your whole life will come to a qualitatively new level.

How to make exercise the normEighteen million five hundred seven thousand two hundred seventy

• If you tend to buy coffee before work, then make it a rule to go to coffee shop on foot. However, if your house has a lift, give up and go down the stairs.
• Park the car farther away from the entrance door to make a few dozen extra steps. Convince yourself in thinking that will do it all the time. Well, let's start with one-two times a week.
• Set some reminders on your mobile phone which will make you get up from your office chair throughout the day at least 5-10 minutes.
• Find yourself a comrade. This is perhaps one of the most important components of success of the entire event. First, it will be interesting to share the joy of small victories. Secondly, it will bring in a small competitive component. Thirdly, enough of the first two arguments: just promise yourself that you will convince someone to join your "army of one" not later than a month.
• Approach the matter with humor: create for yourself some kind of legend that you are on the "secret service of Her Majesty", as the popular hero, once immortalized by the efforts of Sean Connery (Sean Connery): so you can try to negotiate with yourself price of less morally-strong-willed efforts.

Now that you have learned about physical education and its magical properties almost everything you need to get up early tomorrow and go by foot. If not on the Playground with horizontal bars and parallel bars, but at least for coffee. The main thing — to be in motion. published
