Did you know that several studies show that
regular exercise actually makes you a better employee? Here are five reasons to
make exercise work for you:
Reduces
fatigue. Regular exercise gives you more energy which
helps you maintain focus and alertness.
Improves
mood. Exercise releases serotonin, which improves your
mood and helps you handle stress better. This can also help with co-worker
relationships.
Reduces
sick time. Exercise improves your immune system to
help fight off colds and other illnesses.
Improves
memory and brain function. Research shows that
increased cardiovascular activity increases blood flow to the brain and
generates new brain cells. This helps to lower your risk of developing
Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Reduces
on the job injuries. Being in your best physical
condition can prevent injuries and help you perform any physical demands of
your job.
Work toward 30 minutes of physical activity a
day, five days per week for improved health!
