Most entrepreneurs and top executives live a life of work and career<\/strong> above all else. \u00a0For some it\u2019s the money, other it\u2019s the recognition, but for most it is the desire to impact the world in some way. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n In this quest, many will sacrifice several other aspects of their life, including health<\/strong>. Being an entrepreneur myself (I have owned my own business for 14 years) I can relate<\/u>!<\/p>\n There are times I may choose to coach clients and miss out on a family experience or I may need to travel and miss being with my wife and kids. An important fact to remember is we always have a choice<\/strong>. \u00a0We may not like what happens based on our choice, but we can also make a choice.<\/p>\n Personally, something I choose<\/strong> to not compromise is my health. If I am not<\/em> healthy (mentally, physically and spiritually) all aspects of my life suffer. \u00a0Now I don\u2019t spend as much time working out as I did when I was younger and had less responsibilities<\/em>, but I make sure I am active<\/strong> daily and I exercise<\/strong> (weights, cardio and\/or stretching) 5-6 times a week for 45-60 minutes.<\/p>\n Research shows that wellness programs<\/em> can reduce medical costs by $3.27 and $2.13 in absenteeism costs by employee. \u00a0Additionally, scientists have found that aerobic exercise decreases<\/strong> overall tension, improves sleep, and elevates mood and self-esteem. All positive<\/strong> things for you!<\/p>\n Exercise not only helps one to lose excess weight, body fat and all the above, but for an career oriented individual one of the most beneficial aspects of exercise how it helps reduce stress<\/strong>. \u00a0Stress is inevitable as one is looking to climb the \u201ccorporate\u201d ladder. Exercising helps reduce<\/strong> fatigue and improve<\/strong> alertness and brain function. The short and long-term benefits<\/strong> are worth the time to put them in your schedule.<\/p>\n Use these 4 principles<\/strong> to live a physically, financially, and personally healthy life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Scott Keppel is the owner of Scott\u2019s Training Systems<\/a>, a world-class coaching facility in Chandler, Arizona.
