What is the first thing crossing your mind in the very mention of exercise? If you think of intense workout and time consuming, well, you better think again. If you think of packed gyms and hefty membership fees, well, not even so close. Instead of highlighting such unenthusiastic sides, why don’t we bring to light the fun aspects of exercise that might boost our creativity and motivation? We can do exercise to stay healthy without extracting a single rupiah from our pocket, even better we can save some money if we do so. So, why don’t we incorporate exercise into our everyday routine regardless of the job you have. You can always integrate exercise in any simple activities you do whether that includes your activities such as boarding on the commuter lines, working, or going to the the malls. These easy moves cost little to nothing, and it definitely does not consume your precious times. Keep also in mind that routine exercise has many benefits for your heart health, weight management, better sleep, improved mood, and reduced risk of chronic illnesses. It also generates the feeling of well-being inside you once your blood gets moving. Through exercise, you’ll stay healthy longer and feel great even in your sedentary- style jobs.
Most Jakartans working at office have sedentary- style jobs and typically complain of having no energy and time to exercise. They don’t realize by developing such inactive lifestyle, they are prone to have chronic illnesses. Therefore, it is important to exercise to balance the sedentary nature of working in the information economy with an active lifestyle. It can be done in cheap simple ways incorporated into daily activities. So, it doesn’t have to be time consuming. Exercise is not only really good for your health but also for your mind. If you don’t want to join the scheduled exercised arranged by your office, you can do it in ‘your own stylish way’:-). Go bike to work or walk to work. It’s fun, cheap, healthy, and even can save some money. I nowadays prefer to walk from the train station at Sudirman to my office at least twice a week. It takes about 20-25 minutes of walk. It saves me Rp. 2,000.- by not taking Metromini to my office :-). You can also move your body, feet and hands while you are crammed in the commuter line as part of the exercise. Try to do some moves equal to simple work out exercise such as flexing around your muscles to keep it relax and loosen up. If your job requires you to sit more than six hours daily in front of your monitor, you can outsmart this by developing a habit of doing things yourself. For instance you can walk to the pantry to get your own coffee latte or tea, do the photocopy you need, or just walk around your office every two hours in between. Try as much possible to move around and not just glued in your chair. It helps the blood moving too. When the blood is moving through your brain, you will get your creativity juices flowing and your head will be much clearer. Also, it can maintain your body weight as well. You don't have to suffer an excruciating diet or take pills to reduce your weight. Walking regularly will do all the good works! Like any muscle in your body, it needs to be exercised to stay healthy and strong.
