Killing three birds with one stone!

I realised that I was missing an excellent opportunity for exercise as part of my work this week. I normally pay someone to drop leaflets in letter boxes. They walk the streets around my gym for a couple of hours and then their work is done. It's easy money, and a very simple job.

It dawned on me that I could do this job. And it would benefit me in three ways:

I'd be getting out of the office and doing some exercise during my work day
I'd be saving money
and I'd be growing my business

It's literally a WIN WIN WIN. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier.

So today I hit the streets during my work day and got an hour and a half of exercise in. I delivered approximately 300 leaflets in this time and got some afternoon sunshine. I was even able to listen to a few episodes of my favourite podcasts. It was brilliant.

If you're an office worker there are plenty of ways that you can incorporate exercise into your work day as well, however you might not be able to dedicate as much time to it as I can. You have a few options available:

Getting outdoors for a walk at lunch time
Doing that thing people always say to do where you walk up stairs instead of taking the lift
Walking to people's office instead of picking up the phone
And I'm sure you know more things you could do given that I'm not an office worker.

The point is, finding ways to get active during the work day is important for your health. Our bodies are not designed to sit for extended periods of time. We're designed to move and move a lot. Finding ways to move is critical for long term health.
