Tips about work out for office people

Get up early and workout before work. I have a desk job, 9-16 hours a day plus some weekends. I get up at 5:30am and workout, then go to work. Or, as others have suggested: take your lunch hour and spend half of it at the gym (find one close by), and the other half showering and eating lunch. We have a shower here at my office, and I've gone for runs during my lunch hour. Last suggestion: Work out after work. Not my thing, may be yours. Setting the routine and sticking to it was hard in the beginning, as I really enjoy sleeping, but once I had my habit set and am getting up at the same time every day, it's a lot easier. It's important to stick to it, make it a long-term habit. Lunchtime runs are a bit harder, because I have a critical role in my company and find it hard to even take a lunch away from my desk for 30 minutes much less an hour. This is where boundaries come in! You need to take time away from your work for lunch and breaks, you'll refresh your brain and be able to concentrate more if you do. Put it on the calendar and schedule it the same as you would meetings. Don't let others shift your lunch or encroach on that time-- it's YOUR time, not your employer's. #sport #fitness #gym #tips

Tips for people going to the gym for the first time

If you've never been to the gym, don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask the staff, ask the person beside you, find the most jacked guy there and ask him. Most gym people are really kind if you ask for help. You don't want to get hurt because you're doing a workout wrong. Go to the gym with a plan. Even if your plan is "I'm working my upper body today". If it's your first time there you will find it hard to just walk in and start working out. Get a journal or an app (I use Jefit) to build and track a routine. Realize that in most cases, no one gives a shit about how you look. There are always exceptions but in general everyone is focused on their own workout and they aren't staring at you. Learn gym etiquette. Re-rack your weights, don't claim a piece of equipment and then sit around talking to people or playing on your phone, wipe down your equipment when you're done. Here's a good article with some common tips. #sport #fitness #gym #tips
