CXOs Fitness Handbook

Greetings Everyone… Firstly a heartfelt acknowledgment of your unconditional love!

It is only your patronage that has made Bi Proficiency a member of the 'Success Club'

Now the influence is being spread across all other channels- and the most important one is Instagram. 

Also, follow Bi Proficiency on Instagram and reap the incredible benefits of the visual representation and more motivation.   

Your unfaltering support and unwavering belief in my hard work made me come up with a generalized handbook, for the overall betterment of all!

Previously, important topics like how fitness leads to better leadership, better teamwork, and enhanced confidence & conviction of CXOs have been thoughtfully captured. 

Lifestyle habits like the cold shower and its incredible benefits for the CXOs have also been discussed. 

Now let’s delve into the details of a complete lifestyle that will help you gain better fitness. 

1. Landing into Slumber-land 

Regular recharging is really a luxury now, but what's wrong with compensating the deficit or indemnifying the probability- when you are free? 

One must seriously put preponderance to one’s sleep as this is what will rejuvenate the body & mind. 

A striking majority of corporate leaders are not getting enough sleep. A Harvard Business Review study revealed that only 28% of executives are sleeping for 7 hours or more! A study also found that a person who sleeps only for 4-5 hours performs tasks much like who is a little drunk!

From the words of researcher Christopher Barnes- management lecturer, at Foster School of Business, University of Washington, "Sleep-deprived managers exhibit less emotional self-control! This makes them more likely to be abusive towards subordinates!”     

2. Saying ‘No’ More than ‘Yes’

First of all, I would like to break the myth and proclaim that rebuffing is NOT counter-productive!

During my LinkedIn series, I gave special attention to this aspect, I created a substantive sententious post on the topic. The quintessence can be checked with the link embedded in the pointer. 

This seemingly simple suggestion has myriads of multi-faceted benefits, helping you focus better & more on crucial priorities. This translates to enhanced energy levels and better productivity. 

3. Be Physically Active- Whenever possible!  

This is the most pressing need of the hour!

Digital connection and virtual conferencing have outstretched the boundaries of time & time zones! And an executive is required to be active around the clock. This significantly slides health & personal care much lower against a never-ending list of pressing priorities. 

Well, I personally recommend all to never compromise with health and strictly abide by the fitness regime. But this is not possible for all. 

Therefore one can take a 5-min break for stretching, and bending, before and after the meetings. Can also opt for a small walk in your leisure time, and, indulge in physical activity as far as possible.

4. Reducing Screen Time

Easy said but hard executed- especially for the executives!

As we are required to be ever-ready, unplugging technology is a challenge. But still, we have the power to cut the cord in many places. We should develop a habit to ditch digital entertainment or ignoring the trendy discussion on social media. And, this time must be utilized for introspection and retrospection. Putting phones down during travel is a great idea for this.

5. Food Habits

In the discussion- Why CXOs health is at risk, team Bi Proficiency covered various aspects, and foods were specially highlighted.   

During business meetings, the meals are scrumptiously sumptuous, and are often accompanied by a generous amount of alcohol as well!

The sedentary lifestyle doesn't permit it. 

The key is to add functional and nutritive foods to your diet plan. 

See, peak performance comes from a better energy level and a perfect coherence of mind and body. And, this comes only from nutritive food. 

In a Nutshell

There is a need for synchronization in your body and mind- then only you can get the best in your professional and personal life. To lead your business, take better decisions, and motivate & energize teams, you yourself need to be in better energy levels. Then only you can lead better by your own example. 

Your well-being is the base of impressive leadership, and self-care is the only solution to attain all this! 

Stay tuned for the specific research in the realms of health & fitness for the executives.
