What are some effective ways to incorporate exercise into your stress management routine?

Taking 2 to 3 - 15 minute breaks during the day to step outside for a short, brisk walk and to do a few deep breathing exercises can help combat stress, maintain energy and improve focus.

Wake up early and schedule yourself 15 minutes and exercise. That's also a way to release stress, burnout and keep you in a good mood.

I struggle with this as well. But when I do well, it is because I am making exercise a regular part of my life. For example: Morning Workouts: Start the day with physical activity, like a brisk walk to boost mood and energy levels. (or if you are into yoga, that is an option) Active Breaks: Take short exercise breaks during work or between tasks to clear my mind, like stretching or stair climbing. Exercise with Friends: Join a workout class. Or if you are a runner, run (or walk) with a friend to combine socializing with stress-relieving activity. Mindful Movement: Activities that include mindfulness, such as tai chi or Pilates ( I like Pilaties), to enhance relaxation.

Siempre debemos evaluar en que situaciones o momentos del día podemos hacer algún tipo de ejercicio, dentro de nuestra rutina o planificación diaria. Es importante considerar que lo ideal es ejercitarnos con las actividades que más nos gustan y se nos facilitan hacer, inclusive puede ser tan simple como ir al trabajo en bicicleta. Evalua cuáles son las actividades que puedas realizar al menos 3 veces por semana e intenta cumplirlas, planifica cada semana y mejorará tu desempe?o notablemente ????

One thing I have found helpful..is to add exercise as a To Do on my calendar daily , its a milestone to achieve daily .Achieving this daily is a morale booster.

I literally put it as an appointment on my calendar so I have that constant reminder. It also helps to have accountability partners to help motivate you to go. If you have a workout coming up make sure to pack your bag the night before. This way on the day of the workout you are not scrambling to find your gear.

I find that it is easier for me to challenge myself with what is a more beneficial alternative action for the next 30 to 45 minutes other than my routine.

You make time in the job important do the same with your health. Set a reminder in your calendar whether it be for the mornings or evenings.

As I stated earlier, you need to find an accountability partner. One who will challenge you and motivate you to go to the gym. As an instructor, I have to be there anyway but I still have those people who will reach out to ask, "Are you teaching tonight?"

You have to keep your workouts fresh. As an instructor, I am constantly finding new exercises and new games to incorporate into my workouts. Even if the exercise workout is similar, I still mix up a variety of TRX, HIIT, or RMX (mixed-martial arts/kickboxing) to keep it fresh. I have incorporated playing cards and dice to change-up how we do the exercises listed. Most of the time, my gym participants love the game aspect. What they do not realize (especially if we are playing exercise poker), they push themselves harder than I could trying to win the poker hand round. I always have some kind of prize to give to the winner of the six-round workout. Make it fun and they won't even realize they are working out and it goes by quicker.

Whether you have a wellness coach or an instructor, you can keep track of your progress. Before I started on my workout journey, I had our wellness coach take my body measurements. This way after 6-months of working out, I could see how my body has physically changed. I highly recommend wearing a smartwatch to keep track of your workouts.

It’s a good thing to do. When you’re tired, rest. Your body could only take a certain amount of stress so do well to listen to your body when it’s asking for rest intermittently.

Count steps and integrate it a bit at a time throughout the day. Add it in at different intervals by finding ways to move around naturally when ever possible
