Fitness Travel - The workout routine you ACTUALLY need

Your lifestyle changes when you travel. That’s a “reason” that over 50% of business travelers don’t stick with their exercise. (Yes. That’s from a real study.)

You are not one of them.

In fact, after you watch this video, you will know how to use the “travel makes life different” to your ADVANTAGE.

How?

Tuli Kupferberg said “When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.”

When it comes to starting and sticking with fitness, nothing breaks old patterns like travel.

You’ll discover:

• The benefits of exercise when traveling

• Which type of workout you need to do

• Which type of workout you may NOT need to do during travel

• Places to be active that you’ve not dreamed of before

• What to do if you don’t have access to a “gym”

Simple Standing Desk Options + Unboxing My New One!

So, you’ve heard all the rave about standing while you work.

Good. Because being able to alternate between sitting and standing is great for your health and your productivity.

But.

How do you decide what option works best for you?

I’m excited to unbox and review the new standing desk converter I’m using now!

Plus, here are some questions I ask myself and my clients to decide what option is best.

1. Is your current desk one you want or must keep?

2. Do you sit for most of every day?

3. Do you have several virtual meetings in which you could easily stand?

4. How often do you work in multiple locations (coffee shop, clients’ offices)?

5. Do you mostly work from a laptop, a desktop, or does it depend on the day?

There are several sit-stand desks and standing desk converters available.

You may need one that is several hundred dollars. (And if your situation needs it, that’s pennies compared to back pain.)

On the other extreme, I show you the two DIY versions I used for years. My situation changed. So, I changed my desk set up.

Whatever you choose, make sure you easily get movement put into your day.

Because that’s what will keep you healthy and achieving all you want in life.

Quick Stretches to Stop Pain and Stiffness

When you got up from the Thanksgiving feast — and from the sofa later in the day — your back and neck said “Hey, we need some help.”

Here’s a quick and easy stretching sequence. Do this at least once a day.

A great time to stretch is mid-day after you’ve been sitting with your work for over an hour.

Here’s your Simple 7 Day Challenge:

Starting this weekend, block 10 minutes a day to stretch.

Track it. And let me know how you did. I want to celebrate with you.

Why You Need a Garden at Work (and easy ways to start one)

Several companies have community gardens. The benefits are great — for those who dig in the dirt.

But there are easy ways to get the benefits for even more people, without the “uh-oh, whose turn is it to weed” headache.

How to Create a Culture of Wellness - Part Two

How do you create a culture of wellness when you are the only employee or have just a few people working for you?

Anytime you are working on “you” and not on your business, do you fear you are getting behind? “Yes” is a common answer, but the truth is different.

When you work on you — including your health — you will grow your business. This is not pleasant to think about, but you are not your most effective working from a hospital bed that you could have avoided.

The flip of that? In this video I share how I helped a business owner move from scared he wouldn’t have enough money on a monthly basis — to stable and growing because he changed ONE thing: how he took care of his health.

You can do it, too!
