If You're Not Healthy, Chances Are Your Business Won't Be Either

Okay, I know this might seem off-topic coming from a Practical Marketing Expert. But over the years I’ve learned that if you’re not healthy, chances are your business won’t be either. Plus, oftentimes your best ideas will come when you’re doing something totally unrelated to your business.

So to help you fit a little exercise into your already busy day, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite tricks…

1) Take a short walk during lunch. And if you’re not taking a lunch break you should be. Trust me when I say you’ll actually get more done if you take a 10-15 minute break.

2) Get a pull up bar. I recently got one of those Iron Gym thingies that hangs in your door with no installation. I put it in my office doorway, and every time I walk in or out I stretch, or do a few pull ups, chin ups or leg lifts.

3) If you’re gonna watch TV, work out at the same time. I do lunges, sit ups, push ups, and balance ball and balance board work in front of the tube.
