Life, CITY life.
People are busy, very busy. Busy is not always a bad thing: it suggests a demanding work life, hectic home life and eventful social life, all of which can be rewarding and enjoyable. However, the nation is steering towards an obesity crisis, where depression is widespread and professionals are not satisfied or "never seem to have the time".
What, in your working life, contributes to obesity, depression and dissatisfaction? What role can exercise play in counteracting such things?
It is easy to summarise the negative effects of office life on your health;
Even sitting down has its problems: while it may feel comfortable, sitting for prolonged periods of time can have many harmful physical effects.
Corporate life can also produce 'status anxiety', or the pressure to achieve. Images of success are flashed around our city society in their thousands - money, glamorous purchases that suggest wealth, perfect relationships and the ideal happy family. At the same time, there is the pressure to be independent and say "I achieved this all on my own". Social life can be a pressure too, if evenings involve regular alcohol consumption and late nights. In moderation, it can be relaxing for the mind and body. But if abused and not balanced with healthier free-time activities, it can become detrimental.
Every individual has their own idea of what is important. Too often, exercise takes a "will do if I have the time" status. Yet it is foolish, and in extreme cases deadly, to ignore how important a balanced lifestyle and regular exercise is in managing the stress of city life.
Exercise is a cure for so many lifestyle factors and, in turn, prevents many health-related issues, both mental and physical. A regular exercise routine can achieve many benefits, such as:
-
Desired weight and body shape.
-
Increased confidence and self-esteem.
-
Increased energy.
-
Improved posture, deportment and body image.
-
Increased knowledge of exercise and nutrition.
-
Healthier food choices.
-
Good quality food choices often result in more stable blood sugar levels, improving your mental focus.
In order to take control of these important aspects of lifestyle, it is necessary to follow a structured program over a realistic period of time. TEAMcat NEW LEAF training clinics are designed specifically for this purpose: to educate individuals and provide a structure to follow in order to succeed.
