Much is said about fitness issues in relation to work. A good level of fitness is supposed to reduce stress, help clear your mind, and in so doing, creating a better 'mind-set' to focus on our businesses.

I have always been fitness oriented, but ceased when I commence getting my business up and running. I have recently returned to the gym (1 hour sessions at 6.30am) and have noticed an incredible difference. I suppose firstly, it is the accomplishment of getting back and doing it, but it has also made me feel better during the day. Perhaps healthy body/healthy mind is a true cliche'.

What value do you put on fitness in your business? Would you consider increasing your fitness level if there were stats to prove the benefit to your business?

Yes, Nigel, I think what you say is very important and too often neglected - time pressures are a challenge plus more working sitting down!

As well as business it is essential in the daily life as well. I now run at least 9 miles per week and play a lot of other sports too. I spend about 14 hours of each day in the office and probably 9 of those infront of my computer. Sport is a means of escape and tension release.

At the moment Ive got an injury so I havent been able to run over the last 10 days. Ive noticed that Im feeling more tired than when Im doing sports !

The body is a funny thing !
