Maybe it\u2019s because of New Year\u2019s resolutions. Or because of changes in corporate healthcare policies. Or maybe, it\u2019s because that pair of \u201cfat pants\u201d usually in the back of the closet has crept towards the front. But lately, we\u2019ve noticed ourselves becoming more & more health conscious.
\nYou too, huh?
\nBy the time many of us get home at the end of the day, we\u2019re so tired that exercise is the last thing on our minds. There\u2019s dinner to be cooked, laundry to be done, kids to take care of, and a dog to walk. Oh, and football to watch. With so many distractions and opportunities to make excuses, our team was anxious to find a way to stay fit while still honoring our responsibilities.
\n\"\"
\nConsider this:
\n– According to the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, employees that can use work time for exercise maintain the same level of productivity or higher. Those who spend 2.5 hours a week being physically active are more satisfied with the quantity and quality of their work & take less sick time than employees who aren\u2019t engaged in physical activity.<\/em>
\n– Movement and exercise increase breathing and heart rate so that more blood flows to the brain, enhancing energy production.<\/em>
\n– A recent Australian study found that a healthy worker is 300% more productive than a less-healthy one.<\/em>
\nAfter an ETE Sales Team brainstorming session, the ETExercise Challenge was born.
\nSo what\u2019s ETExercise? It\u2019s a set of circuits that we created right on our sales floor. Each day, we train in 40 second increments and rotate between 6 stations, using supplies we already had plus some additional equipment we picked up for less than $40. And all the while, we continuing to answer phone calls and respond to emails.
\nHere\u2019s what we use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A wall<\/li>\n
  2. Stopwatch (or better yet, a wall-mounted timer)<\/li>\n
  3. Resistance bands<\/li>\n
  4. 10lb medicine ball<\/li>\n
  5. A desk or chair edge<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a team, we quickly found these mini breaks throughout the day to be a great use of the time we already had to be healthier. Initially, this started as a commitment for our sales team, but it has since stretched to other departments in our office.
    \nCould your team use an outlet for motivating one another? How about a jump start to productivity? What about a new-found energy unlike anything that a coffee or\u00a0Red Bull can provide? With a higher level of focus, not to mention increased morale, how would your sales change<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

    \nAs our readers, we wanted to share a little bit more than our example\/experience. An idea like the ETExercise Challenge\u00a0might not be for your team but in case it is..kick start your own office program or \u201cjoin\u201d ours! Click to download our printable circuit station signs<\/a> or add your email to\u00a0get reminders<\/a> at the same time we\u2019re pumping iron.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
