Episode 25: Are Successful People More Fit or Fit People More Successful?
In this episode, we will discuss the proven relationship between fitness and success.
Researchers have conducted numerous studies to determine the relationship between exercise and productivity in the workplace. To varying degrees, many studies have found some positive correlation between regular exercise and improved productivity, reduced absenteeism, and fewer health-related work limitations — especially through participating in worksite fitness centers.
The fact is when a person is being physically active their body goes into fight or flight mode. This response releases an endorphin called “Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF)” that gives you the ability to think more clearly and better respond to business demands.
When you exercise you actually increase the amount of BDNF in your Hippocampus, which is associated with heightened cognitive functions such as memory and emotion. Even better, studies show that this endorphin is sustained for as long as several weeks after exercise.
Life is tough enough; you need an optimized body to grind it out every day. Find out more about why and listen to my tips on how to add more fitness into your life.
