"Move the Body"

Wake to the buzzer at 8am. Jump in the shower. Grab a shot of caffeine. Jump in the train/cab/car. Conference call in your commute. Fix the days agenda. Change the days agenda. Plan meetings. Delay meetings. Run into office by 10am – just in time for your boss’s bad mood. Work.Coffee.Work.Coffee.Work. Coffee. Pack up at 9pm. Lucky you, got out early. Leftovers for dinner. Lights out by mid-night.


Sound familiar? That’s because it is. Too many of us are living the same way: surviving on too little sleep, working on nervous energy, eating the wrong food, and basically headed straight for a heart attack. If this describes your life, you need to do something. Now.

It’s about small changes. They make a huge impact. Get yourself moving. Find a sport you love, join a dance class, start power yoga, or just run in your neighborhood. Don’t make an excuse. You can find the time to do this. Before work, after work, in your lunch break, on the weekends. Just do something. Find something you love, then stick to it. endorphins released in the body after about 35 minutes of cardiovascular exercise are directly related to improved moods. and when you add to that the fact that a regular workout improves the blood circulation and skin tone, giving you that glow and boosts your metabolic rate leading to a leaner, lighter you, it’s a no-brainer.

You’ll find yourself happier, feeling better about your life, working better, and best of all your body will thank you. So, get out there and do something!
