Two of the most common goals people create are to be healthier and be more productive. What if you could kill two birds with one stone? With just a few minor changes to your routine along with steady discipline, you can improve your productivity with fitness at the forefront. Heres five tips to get you motivated and moving.

Work Out As Soon As You Wake Up

Kimberly Turner Bouldin, the Founder of FAByoulous Fitness, recommends exercising for at least 15-30 minutes every morning. This is enough time to get your blood flowing and give you lasting energy to tackle your daily to-do list.

My clients were seeing energy differences between when they came to the gym in the morning, says Bouldin, this is to make sure that endorphins get a jump start first thing in the morning. When you make working out your first priority, youre producing hormones within your body that will fuel you throughout the day.

Whether running, strength training, particularly cardio, try to continue the workout for at least 30 minutes to get the endorphins going. Ensure to snack before the workout to avoid any possible crash!

Strive For 10,000 Steps Per Day

Those steps you take every day do more than get you from point A to point B. Did you know that walking is the only form of exercise that does more than burn calories and build muscle? According to Jaime Morocco, Founder of Dream Body, Dream Life Academy, walking also reduces stress! Its no secret that less stress is better for the mind and body.

I give my clients a step goal to aim for 10000 steps a day. I have found that my clients are more creative and productive when theyre intentional about walking, Morocco says.

Walking is great because you can do it anytime. With more and more jobs becoming sedentary, its more vital than ever that we all get up and move throughout the day. Walking helps circulation, gives you an energy boost and can even help break through those annoying mental blocks. Increasing your daily steps will get your creativity and blood flowing better than ever.

Be NEAT

If youre short on time, listen up. The NEAT method is for people who are on a tight schedule with little wiggle room to go to the gym. Sammi Gregory, the founder of Sammi Gregory Fitness, uses the NEAT method for her time-crunched clients.

Neat stands for Non-Exercise, Energy, Activity and Thermogenesis. It sounds a bit complicated but in reality, the NEAT method is the easiest and most convenient way to put a little pep in your step, Gregory explains. to put it simply, the NEAT method is just putting forth a little extra effort to tend to your daily activities.

For example, if you go to the grocery store, make the conscious choice to park further away. If you need to clear snow from your driveway, opt for shoveling it rather than using a snow blower. Take your dog for a walk or play along in a game of fetch. Sweep and mop your floor rather than using a robot vacuum. These simple tasks will give you less time in the gym and more time to be productive.

Fill Your Diet With Fiber

Fiber helps lower cholesterol and rids our bodies of toxins. It balances blood sugar and increases satisfaction from the foods we eat. Boost your immunity with fiber from fruits and vegetables, especially with the skin left on them as theyre packed with the most fiber.

Personal trainer, Ebony Williams says that increased fiber intake has been shown to reduce common illnesses that often make their way through the workplace. Williams says, focusing on a balanced diet and increasing fiber intake, my clients are able to lose more weight and focus better while at work.

Increase your fiber intake through foods such as lentils, chia seeds, fruits and vegetables (with the skin on, particularly for fruitenjoy the peel with your apple slices!). We get a boost to our immune system when we consume more fiber and this has been shown to reduce those pesky colds and bugs that tend to float around and make us sick (which decreases productivity, increases absenteeism and reduces our ability to feel our best).

By staying healthy and feeling our best, we can remain productive and forget about taking sick days from work.

Boost Your Brain With Natural Supplements

Fitness helps to boost cognitive performance, physical well-being. But what can help to supplement extra nutrients is through cognitive enhancing supplements such as Nootropics. Nootropics, especially if naturally made, can help to boost productivity without causing any crash. Founder of Quantum Performance, Neal Thakkar, advocates for the use of natural supplements.

When you add these natural supplements to the existing productivity and performance routine you have, it takes everything to the next level! says Thakkar. Ive had my clients on these natural supplements, whether a natural-base nootropics or extra vitamins etc, and it led to significant increase in verbal fluency and focus.

Nootropics include brain improving ingredients such as omega3s and flavonoids. However, before considering any form of supplements, Thakkar highly recommends seeking a medical professional to determine the exact supplements that your body needs.

Thakkar says, go talk to your doctor first to make sure the supplements youre considering are the right fit for your body. Try to stick with natural ingredients as much as possible. As well, make sure that the supplement you take doesnt make you crash ESPECIALLY if youre considering nootropics!.

Now that youre equipped with these tips for productivity, theres only one question left. What are you going to accomplish first?

5 Fitness Tips To Improve Your Productivity - Thrive Global

Believe it or not, physical fitness is becoming an essential aspect of our lives to achieve optimum health and wellbeing nowadays. And at a time when we are constantly bombarded with tips to remain fit, National Health Portal believes that digging ditches is one of the best fitness activities.

On the National Health Portal website, digging ditches is listed under 'vigorous-intensity physical activity' that requires a large amount of effortwith rapid breathing and a substantial increase in heart rate. Among others 'heavy gardening (continuous digging),' is also included in this list, which is based upon the amount of energy used by the body while doing the activity.

National Health Portal, set up by the government under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, aims to provide healthcare-related information to the citizens of India and to serve as a single point of access for consolidated health information. The portal's goal is to become the "gateway to authentic health information for all".

The portal also suggests that carrying or shifting heavy loads of less than 20 kg is a good fitness activity.

In its moderate-intensity physical activity, the portal suggests "traditional hunting and gathering" can also help people stay fit.

The portal, which aims to collect, verify and disseminate health and health care delivery services related information for all citizens of India, includes myths and facts on physical fitness.

Busting a myth that fitness requires one to have the equipment, special shoes, clothes and get enrolled in sports facilities, the portal suggests, "Physical activity can be done almost anywhere. Walking is a highly recommended physical activity and it is absolutely free. Urban parks or other pedestrian areas can be used for walking, running or playing."

Andy Robertson believes he and his Liverpool teammates can use the mid-season break for maximum benefit as they prepare to attack the final third of the season.

The Reds resume their Premier League title quest at Norwich City on Saturday having established a 22-point advantage at the summit before the pause in action.

It was a timely hiatus for Robertson, who was able to nurse a niggling foot injury, while Sadio Mane and James Milner recuperated sufficiently to return to training this week and further bolster Jrgen Klopps options.

Ahead of the trip to Carrow Road we caught up with the left-back to discuss the winter break, his fitness, Liverpools outstanding recent defensive solidity and the importance of competitiveness in the squad...

Firstly, how was your break?

It was nice. It was nice to spend some time with the family and switch off from a hectic schedule and football for a wee bit and come back refreshed. Hopefully people see that in the performances that the team put in because we look as if we have come back refreshed, like I said, and maybe cleared up any injuries we might have had.

Did you manage to properly switch off, because it has been such a busy couple of seasons since you broke into the team?

I managed to get away and try to switch off from football and spend some family time. It has been a hectic couple of seasons; obviously in the summer you can switch off but its nice during the season to get that week off where you just dont need to worry about anything. Of course, we still had to stay on top of ourselves and we had [individual training] programmes for ourselves. But I get itchy feet anyway just sitting about all day so I was quite happy to do it. For a week off, it was all worth it.

The proof will obviously come in the results that follow, but after your first experience of it, do you see this mid-season break as a positive?

Hopefully, yes. For a few of us, definitely people were maybe playing with knocks or injuries and it has given them a whole week to kind of clear them up. I know mine feels better, I feel closer to 100 per cent in terms of my body, which is always a positive. Being in training pain-free is always a nice thing, which maybe hasnt happened in a couple of weeks leading up to that. To clear up any of that is a positive, for a week to just let your body recover. Hopefully we now have a strong finish to the season and we can see that the week was beneficial, and hopefully the results follow. But even if the worst-case scenario [with results], in terms of injuries it has managed to get some lads back fit, which is so important for us.

Was it a good time for you to have a rest? Since the beginning of last season, youve started 60 of the 63 league games and 17 of the 19 Champions League games

To be honest, my body felt fine. I didnt feel tired and it wasnt tiredness. It was more the pain I was playing in at times; I pulled out of the Scotland squad in November with an injury and it probably continued on, then I took another knock on it and it probably got worse. A lot of us play through pain at times, thats part and parcel of being a footballer. You need to be out there on a Saturday if you can. Where theres a will theres a way. A lot of us have showed that at times.

Last time out in the league: Liverpool 4-0 Southampton

For me, it was on my left foot, which is never the best. If it was on my right foot it probably wouldnt even have been an injury. Being on your strong foot, its tough when youre passing the ball and its sending pain up your leg. Its hopefully a thing of the past, theres been time to clear that up. I dont feel I needed a rest physically, I felt as if I could still run for 90 minutes and do it at a good level. Those stats, Im happy with them. I like to play games, I get paid to play games and it probably shows Ive been doing a couple of things right if Ive played that many games! Im happy with the amount of games Ive played and hopefully that continues for the next two seasons and so on. But when you get a week off youve got to take it.

How much of a boost was it to see Sadio Mane and James Milner back in training this week?

Thats another positive. We knew if we could get there [to the winter break] the lads then effectively had two weeks until the next game to try to get back fit. Sadio and Millie managed to do that. They are both naturally quick healers and they have shown that once again. Both of them were a big loss, of course the team havent shown it in terms of the results and performances weve had but to have those two as options is incredible and just makes our squad stronger again. Its great to have everyone back fit near enough, I think theres only maybe a couple still out. To have near enough a full squad, hopefully that continues until the end of the season. It gives us so many options and gives the manager a slight headache but Im sure its a good headache to have.

We saw you watching the free-kick competition at the end of training on Monday. Was that a good example of the mentality in the squad? Theres a friendly-natured competitiveness

Inside Training: Free-kick competition as Reds return to Melwood

The table tennis competitions are where its going to get most heated! Its always been friendly [among the squad] but the lads want to compete against each other and that short clip showed it with Hendo, Virg and Trent. I think the lads have been giving Trent a wee bit [of stick] about his last couple of free-kicks so they wanted to show him differently. To be fair, both of them stepped up to the plate and Trent crumbled under the pressure! But thats pressure in training and when it comes into a high-pressure situation in a game all three of them will probably be better for it. Hopefully one of them can put one of them in soon and you can see that practice makes perfect.

Trent will want to put his next one in a game into the top corner now

Of course. And I guarantee hell be looking straight to Hendo and Virgil when he does it! I hope that happens. Hes got fantastic technique and hopefully it happens to prove those two wrong, as such. It helps him because its hard to create a game-like situation in training, in terms of the pressure, but to have your two mates in your ear, its the best way to show them. Hopefully we see that practice making perfect and at least one of them can put one in before the end of the season.

At the other end, youve only conceded once in the last 10 Premier League matches. Has anything changed? Conceding goals was something that was irritating the defenders earlier in the season

When you look back, some of the goals we conceded were lucky or individual errors and some of them were good goals sometimes you need to accept when a good goal goes in against you. But it was something pecking at us a bit; we were winning games but the lads wanted to get back to clean sheets. I dont think anything has changed. But when we have gone 1-0 up we have been so good at shutting the other team out and not giving them sniffs. The lads have been playing excellently, Virg and Joe have been different class over the last 10 games. And Alisson when called upon has made the saves we need him to save. Were all playing well defensively and were all trying to keep clean sheets. One goal in the last 10 games is an incredible stat and hopefully we continue that because if we keep clean sheets we dont get beat. Its as simple as that. Thats a good basis to go off. The lads have the confidence that when we do go 1-0 up we arent going to concede. But its all about showing that and hopefully that continues.

The 31-year-old singer - who has largely remained out of the spotlight in southern California - has become increasingly health-conscious over recent months and a source close to the star has praised her disciplined approach to her own wellbeing.

The insider shared: "She goes to different gyms. She goes early in the morning and meets with her trainer.

"She gets her workout in first thing. She works out for about an hour and leaves drenched in sweat and looking like she worked very hard."

Adele reportedly attends a couple of private fitness classes every week.

The source told E! News: "She's also staying active going on walks and getting in a lot of steps. She is in a groove."She looks great and has totally transformed her body. She is barely recognisable and is continuing to lose weight."

Meanwhile, a source previously claimed Adele feels "alive" following her split from Simon Konecki.

The award-winning singer and Simon, 45, divorced in 2019, but Adele has seemingly overcome her heartbreak and she is now ready to release new music.

A source previously said: "She is definitely getting ready both mentally and physically to promote new music. It seems it will happen later this year.

"She talks about last year as a very difficult year, and she's said in the past that creating new music is almost like therapy. You can tell that she is ready to share with her fans. She is so busy, but her life is better-rounded than it was before.

"She is very fulfilled being an artist. New music is still a big deal for her, and she feels alive and happy."

I needed this yoga video. I mean, I really needed it. Before I gave this follow-along flow from Adriene Mishler a try, I had finished my workday with a stress headache, a sore throat, and a body full of aches. Naturally, I wanted to do some yoga to relieve tension and take time for myself (I'm also a huge fan of Yoga With Adriene on YouTube). After 40 minutes of "Yoga Kiss," I felt stretched out, cooled down, and, thanks to a series of core-focused moves at the end, energized in a good way.

Moral of the story? You deserve this. You deserve to tend to your body and your mind after a long day or even a short one and you deserve to make space for yourself. This flow is advertised as something that will "remind you of your worth" and will target "all parts of the body," as the YouTube description states, and the variety of poses and gentle affirmations from Adriene hold true to that promise.

You'll start in an upright posture, focusing on the breath and elongating the neck; then you'll move into Cat Cow and a period of holding Baby Cobra that might feel as wonderful for your upper-body as it did for mine. You'll pick up the pace with sequences that incorporate Forward Fold, planks, and high lunges (and, yes, holding those lunges brought heat to my legs big time).

One of the hardest poses for me in the flow was one where you had to balance in a squat position on the balls of your feet with your heels up, arms back, and palms facing down (in "airplane arms," as Adriene put it). The core work toward the end of the video also made me shake a bit (you should expect modified Boat Pose, among other movements).

Throughout, Adriene reminded us to lift our hearts to the sky to "kiss" the sky, if you will and to "move like you love yourself." While in Corpse Pose lying down, she talked about nurturing our bodies. "I love the idea that our yoga practice can kind of pick you up, give you a kiss, and really meet you wherever you are on any given day," she said. Show up on your mat and see what happens! We'll be right there with you.

In recent years, the rise of social media platforms such as Instagram has resulted in a huge shift in the fitness is seen and the way we exercise. With the instant sharing of constant reminders to stay active, people understand the importance of leading an active and healthy lifestyle, which wasnt the case before. Eventually, the fitness industry is booming and there are endless opportunities in this sector.

Especially, there is a demand for low-cost membership options for people to stay fit. And, this has opened up new opportunities for fitness startups. While there has been over 400% growth in the past three decades, it was at its peak in 2015 with 60 gyms such as Lefit and Pivot having been founded in the year.

In a recent development, the sports business insurance provider Protectivity analysed data from hundreds of innovative gyms to reveal the countries with the highest number of gym businesses. It has also revealed the gyms with the highest funding and brands that are most protected by registered trademarks.

When it comes to the gym industry, funding is a great business and ClassPass, which is an online, mobile service offering health services and fitness classes at a subscription fee leads the race with $549 million (nearly 504 million) funding.

As per the report, the United States is home to the most gym companies in the world with 189 headquarters in the country. In Europe, Germany, Spain, and Ireland have the highest number of gym companies. This report highlights the strength of the European fitness market right now. A Deloitte report in the fitness industry suggests that Europe has 62.2 million fitness club members and over 61,000 clubs.

Many a New Year starts with high hopes to get fit. One major success factor in working out is how easy it is to get to the gym. If you could walk out of your apartment and step right into the gym, that would definitely help. Well, it seems that increasingly, apartment buildings are doing just that: bringing the gym to you. In a recent survey of more than 3,000 renters searching for apartments on rentcafe.com, 47 percent of respondents said they were interested in renting in a community with a gym or fitness center. Whats more, apartment data from Yardi Matrix found that for 28 percent of these renters, the lack of a gym in the building is a real deal-breaker. A mix of three main reasons were cited: convenience, cost and motivation.

In the past decade, fitness amenities were present in almost 90 percent of apartment communities that were built nationwide. In 2019, an overwhelming 92 percent of new rental buildings came with some type of gym or fitness amenity. In fact, in the last decade alone, gyms have been a regular fixture in around 90 percent of new apartment buildings.Following this trend of combining fitness and convenience, two-thirds of large apartment buildings in the U.S. now have a fitness center on their premises.

A top-of-the-line residential property is commonly associated with top-of-the-line amenities. These also include wellness amenities and residential perks, and no doubt, the fancier the building, the higher the chance of it having a gym. Around 96 percent of class-A apartment buildings have a gym. However, the fitness center is not the only amenity offered in high-end complexes.

Swimming pools, garage parking, secured access, services, business centers, pet-friendly areas, in-unit washers and dryers, and energy-efficient appliances are also frequently found in these types of buildings. Additionally, some are in top locations that allow renters to fully embrace the live-work-play lifestyle.

While having a gym in your building has become a given, when it comes to paying for this convenience, 56 percent of the renters surveyed indicated that they were not willing to pay extra for an on-site gym. In contrast, 32 percent said they would pay up to $100 extra, while only 2 percent indicated that they were willing to pay $300 or more.

Compared to the national average rent of $1,473, the average cost to rent in buildings with a gym on-site is $1,530; thats a difference of just $57 per month. Compared toan off-site gym membership it is pretty comparable and convenient to go for the extra.

Although the difference in rent is not solely due to the presence of a fitness center, it is important to note that the nicer the amenities, the higher the rent will be. For example, some buildings offer a basic gym with some cardio and lifting equipment. Others have a fitness center with varied equipment and classes, such as yoga or pilates. Still others offer a full-fledged health and wellness club with an expansive, fully-equipped fitness center, pool, spa, personal trainers and recovery rooms.

What are the best cities for active renters in New Jersey? Edgewater leads the pack with a 69 percent share of buildings having gyms. Residents here know that renting in a community with this amenity will not set them back more than $7 over the city average, which is the second-highest in the state$3,190.

New Brunswick and Hoboken come second and third in this ranking with shares of 67 percent and 63 percent of buildings with gyms, respectively. Rents in these communities, however, will seriously set you back, as apartments here are between $222 and $277 more expensive than the city average.

Jersey City boasts a 60 percent share of apartment buildings with fitness amenities, taking up the fifth spot in the ranking. The rent difference between this type of building and the city average is a solid $268. In West New York, 43 percent of apartment communities are equipped with gyms, and most probably with other premium amenities, as the rent difference between them and the city average is the highest in the state $447.
