Every morning we wake up and face the challenges of a new day. This mostly entails catching up on what we didn’t get to the previous day. Day in and day out our brains are pumping iron, crushing mental arithmetic and getting pushed up against the ropes of office politics, without even breaking a sweat!
The day may start with the best of intentions to do some form of physical activity, but it often ends with a list longer than when the day started. Once again, the brain has outsmarted the body!
The mornings that stick out in memory are not those which involve getting out of bed two hours after the start gun goes off, but those where you catch Mother Nature napping and watch the sun rise knowing you have a head start.
Physical exercise needs to involve increasing the heart rate – typically 30 minutes is an acceptable period of exercising time. As a general rule if you can smoke while doing it… it’s not exercise! So, bye bye to golf, bowls, ten pin bowling and darts.
We all know the importance of some form of physical exercise, but do we really know why? Getting your heart pumping and blood flowing leads to, amongst other things:
- A stronger heart.
- Lower cholesterol.
- More blood to the brain, for later in the day.
- A release of serotonin (anti depressants for free – yeah!)
- The ability to cope with stress better and make better decisions.
- Ironically, more energy available for your day.
- A more productive day!
