“People think if they’re working 14 hour days that they are getting more done. WRONG. If you work for 11 hours and then do something physical for 3 hours, you’ll be far more productive in those 11 hours than you’d be in 14 hours. It takes energy to make energy- otherwise you’re just sitting at your desk in a daze, feeling overwhelmed by all the things you think you need to do. And then that goes on for years and it comes time to retire, but you’re so out of shape you still can’t do anything fun. That’s messed up!
So when I hear someone say they don’t have time for fitness or physical activity – I’m not buying it! That’s a major cop-out. How can you not have time for your health and sanity? If you can’t do a 2 hour workout everyday, fine (not that you need anywhere near that much). But what about 30 minutes of something physically and mentally challenging? You would be surprised at just how effective 30 minutes of daily activity can be.”
