LinkedIn Top Voice | INC 500 Winner | Founders: Spending too much time in sales? Feeling Founder overload? I can fix that without breaking the bank. I have been where you are now. Book an introductory call.

发布日期: 2022年8月21日

I went to the gym this week and ran into an old friend of mine. In the last six years, Bruce has had at least three cancer surgeries, multiple heart surgeries, and is now blind in one eye.

When I first noticed him he was walking tepidly onto the risers where they have the treadmills, he was looking for a railing to grab onto so he wouldn’t fall. He made it up there and started walking on the treadmill.

When I was done working out I went over to talk with him. I told him what an inspiration he was. Here’s what he told me:

If I stop, I’m dead. Just like a shark, I need to keep moving to survive.

Most of you watching this video, spend a lot of time sitting at a desk. Many of you, for hours without standing up. New research suggests that while exercise is important, simple movement is even more important.

If you want to get through your day with the energy you went into it with, to keep your edge and creativity, you must keep moving throughout the day. Become a movement machine.

Here are a few steps (pardon the pun) on how:

Put a timer in your computer’s browser that alerts you to stand up every 20 minutes. That’s 24 times a day. There's a link below for what I use.
Walk for three minutes every half hour. Preferably outside without any work-related electronics. That’s another 48 minutes of movement!
Practice Chair Yoga. Yep, that’s a thing! I’ll put a link to a book I recommend. below. Your muscles and stiff back will thank you.

Do you want to get that new account? Be ready for the big presentation? Make your quota? Be more creative? And just feel better?

You gotta move. Seems like a small price to pay to help you realize your goals and be the best you can be.

So, here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it: Every day this week try at least two out of the three tips I listed above. Won’t cost you a penny and I GUARANTEE you will be better off.
