Always Busy? Follow These Exercises to be Productive

In today’s time, the life of a modern man has become difficult. Deadlines and schedules have taken over the peace of mind, the rhythm of our heart and the crux of our soul. However, in spite of all the pressures of a busy life, who doesn’t want to be fit and healthy?

The excessive information which you get from the internet, the various different advices which you get from your friends and family add more fuel to our already existing confused mind! What will you do? Do not worry, here’s the ultimate solution on how to manage your busy life and change it into a most organised & productive one, in the simple and effective way.

The issues

The problems of a hectic life are many. Life is a balancing act; juggling everything together. This pressure to perform affects our health tremendously:

• The practice of staying up late till odd hours to complete the assignments affects our immune system.
•  Lifestyle factors like improper diet, travel, pollution, changing seasons and lack of proper sleep increase the level of stress, thus creating memory loss.
• ‘Me Time’-Absence of personal space in our daily lifestyle affects our relationships with our close ones as well.
•  It makes a person prone to worry. Problem arises on recognizing faces as well.
•  One of the chief problems of a busy and sedentary life is obesity. The lack of movement in individuals decreases their core strength and stamina.

Scottish researchers have invented a new malaise to describe this state: Busy Lifestyle Syndrome (BLS). It’s getting to be more common, affecting people at younger ages. As a result it is the drug companies that are creating a lucrative new business from creating “memory pills”.

The pressure on an individual increases day by day. Staying fit and healthy has become a necessity for all of us to be more productive in our work as well as personal life. One of the common observations in today’s time has been that a busy person may not necessarily end up being a productive person. Most of his time is spent figuring out his already existing daily problems. With time being restricted, it is extremely crucial for us to be productive individuals even in the middle of our busy schedules. Hence try to plan out your week in advance, and commit to it.

Fight it out with exercise 

The energy boost you get from exercising ends up making you fitter and productive for the days to come. Here are some easy and effective ways to exercise even in the middle of your busy schedule:

          ·          Around the house:

1. Power walk: Wake up a bit earlier and take a brisk 5-minute power walk up the street in one direction and return back in the other. The energy you’ll gain from this will make for those minutes of sleep that you lost.

2. Do Yoga: Try to do Yoga everyday by taking about 10 minute break from your daily household.

          ·             At work

1. Walk to work: If possible, avoid taking any transportation to reach the office. Try to walk instead.

2. Use stairs: Avoid using elevators to communicate around the office. Take the stairs.

3. Stretch break: Try stretching during periodical intervals.

4. Serve yourself: In case you want to use the office printer or any other equipment, make it a point to walk to that place instead of asking somebody to do it. This movement however minor will help you to break out of the physical stagnation of office work.

5. Short walk: Try to go for a short walk in the nearby area of your office during the lunch break. This will help burn some extra calories.

6. Warm up: While you are waiting for the meeting to start, stretch your hands and fingers a bit. This will temporarily increase blood circulation.

          ·        While travelling:

1. Take a halt: If you’re travelling by car, stop twice a day for short walks and some stretching.

2. Be your own Coolie: Try to carry your own luggage instead by making it carried by a porter. By doing this, your muscles and bones will become stronger and your blood circulation will increase.

3. Offer your seat: While in a bus, offer your seat to someone else. Probably an elder. This is not only ethical, but will also provide your body a scope for movement.

4. Walk in the train: Try to use the corridor spaces in a train for taking brisk walks and warm ups. Step out and walk around the platform while the train halts.

5. Travel stress release: While seated in a plane, place your palm on your forehead and push back as you flex your neck forward. Repeat this to release your stress around the neck muscles.

6. Be the moving carpet: During layovers at airports, avoid the mechanized “moving carpets” that transport travelers from one part of the airport to the other. If you are between flights, walk around as much as you can.

7. Plan your kit: Try to pack a jump rope in your travel kit. This will hardly require any space and also help you exercise, no matter where you are.

8. Try bicycling: When at a new place, try to walk around or you can even use a bicycle. This way, you will burn calories while exploring your surroundings.

Turn exercising into a regular habit. Create daily schedules in your weekly calendar. You can begin slowly by devoting just 15 minutes daily for exercise. Gradually, you can increase the time spent and the intensity of the exercise.
