Our 3rd Linkedin newsletter #Healthnotes is out! This month’s topic gives you some tips about how exercice at work can help you in different ways.
How about in cases that is possible instead of visiting the gym, start working out at the office? This option not only saves us time, but it is also a great way to boost our professional performance.
Working out at work is extremely beneficial
Any form of exercise offers amazing benefits, as it can boost both our physical and mental health.
Researches have shown how exercise helps us not only to manage time and workload more effectively, but also makes us more resilient in dealing with stress.
Working out at work promotes teamwork
The mood-boosting effects of exercise are not limited to an individual level. Recent research reports that on days when the sample population participated in some form of activity/exercise, individuals felt more tolerant and positive towards their colleagues. Therefore, it is a fact that exercise improves workplace relationships and plays a key role in building the morale of the employees themselves.
Even a little can be enough
Even just going for a short walk can have positive effects and boost our performance.
It increases our performance while we work
In a study that lasted about a year, employees were able to choose whether they preferred to work sitting on a desk or while walking on an exercise treadmill at a low speed.
While at first the performance of the employees decreased, in the long run the results were amazing. Participants’ performance increased in both quality and quantity of work as well as the interaction with colleagues improved.
It is not only useful for those who do sedentary work
According to science, even those in professions that require long hours of standing can benefit from adding some specific exercises to their work routine. The right combination of stretching and workout can help preventing leg and back pain, as well as injuries caused by repetitive motion.
