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.)?
Cool to see squash making a resurgence lately. Wish my local gym would turn one of the spin class rooms back into the squash court it used to be…
As to OPs question. If I don’t get exercise it actually makes me less productive, less focussed and more prone to seat of the pants decisions. I have to make it part of my routine.
Haven’t played squash in decades. Everywhere out here is racquetball.
You think the productivity hit is greater when you can’t engage in cardio based exercise or strength training?
Agree on the effects of not getting exercise. I lose focus and have a pity party with myself.
I live in a small city, we have 3 squash courts but two are at the ymca where the drop in is $15/day for the whole gym and there isn’t a squash only price, so we end up using the beat up court on the arts campus.
But still, super fun time.
