These 9 Fitness Hacks for Entrepreneurs Should Help

KEEP IT SIMPLEFind workouts you can do with minimal equipment in the places you spend most of your time.

BE PREPAREDKeep a gym bag in your office. Stock it with your workout clothes, shoes, weights or exercise bands, and anything else you need to exercise.

WALK TO WORKWalk to work if you can. Try walking around work talking to your employees, take a brisk walk up and down the hall or a couple flights of stairs and pace back and forth in your office while you’re on the phone.

FORGET “GETTING LUNCH”GET FIT INSTEAD

Meet clients or colleagues for a workout instead of lunch or dinner. Go for a run or bike ride together, hit the gym or play squash. Grab coffee or a smoothie afterwards if you have more to talk about or want to take notes.

GET A STANDING DESK

You burn more calories standing than sitting.You’ll also avoid the posture-ruining hunch that comes with long hours of sitting at a computer.

SIT ON A STABILITY BALL

Balancing on an exercise ball instead of slumping in a desk chair activates your core, glutes, and legs, without feeling like exercise.

GET ACTIVE AS A FAMILY

Take a hike, go for a long bike ride, play tennis, shoot hoops—whatever your family enjoys.
