Or, in the alternative, are there any entrepreneurs who believe that physical exercise results in a net negative (in terms of productivity) in light of all the other things (running ops, admin, payroll, employee retention programs, etc.) you have to do?
For those who believe that your exercise program clearly results in increased productivity/performance, what type of exercise are you engaging in (cardio/steady state, strength training/high intensity, strength training/volume hypertrophy, HIIT, functional fitness, sport specific, etc.)?
Definitely. Regular exercise is key for me, not just managing health but how I feel and function.
Since breaking a leg at the ankle at the beginning of the year, I had to find a new cardio since running was out, so I started bike commuting. Enjoying it more than I thought I would. By the end of the year, I’ll have done over 3000 miles on the ebike and another 1000+ on the regular cruiser bike. Cardio is as good or better than when I was running.
During the week, I also do Crossfit a couple of times, HIIT or functional weight training three times and Pilates 5-6 times. Plus my hobby is a sport that’s physical - usually I get to do that a couple of times a week. All do different things for me physically and mentally.
Your current training makes me believe your sport hobby is bjj because of your focus on functional strength.
After your injury, because your activity level is so varied and high, did you have reduced work performance? In what way? And has it improved since you were able to increase your exercise volume?
