NFIB:
Entrepreneurs are used to working long hours and occasionally ignoring their health, all for the sake of making their small business a success. With the holiday season quickly approaching and leftover Halloween candy, Thanksgiving pies and Christmas goodies all racing through our heads, now is the time to establish healthy holiday habits that will make your New Year’s resolutions last well beyond the first slice of pumpkin pie.
Chances are excellent that as a business owner you spend a lot of time on your feet, checking on supplies, employees and everything else. It might be a good idea to purchase a pedometer, an inexpensive device that attaches to your belt or pocket to record the total number of steps you take daily. Walking is great exercise. Strive for 10,000 steps each day and increase your number by taking a longer route to the photocopier or the bathroom. Walk during the rare occasions when you take a coffee break. Go talk to a colleague or employee instead of sending an e-mail. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Remember: You burn four calories for every 10 stairs you climb.
As a business owner, it’s up to you to create a fitness-friendly atmosphere at the office. The benefits such as offering fitness-club discounts or other health-focused initiatives will outweigh the cons, especially in the long run, with lower health-insurance claims for employees.
You might even encourage your employees to establish a weight loss goal. Offer incentives, such as a day off or an extended lunch period. A long-term fitness goal will motivate everyone to continue to exercise; it will also promote a unity and teamwork.
