Much Needed Fitness Activities for a Busy Career Girl

Focusing on your career is important, especially if you are advancing in your field. However, if you find yourself in the office for hours on end and your workouts are falling by the wayside, it’s time to reconsider how you’re spending your time.

 

Obviously it’s hard to have an hour long workout when you’re at the office, but you can readjust your schedule so that workout activities can take place before or after your work hours. Here are some athletic activities you shouldn’t miss and how you can schedule time for them.

 

Pilates for a Hurting Back

Pilates is an excellent fitness class you can take regularly. It can strengthen your back muscles which no doubt may be getting sore from spending long hours at the office.  Sitting against an office chair should provide you enough back support and if it does not Pilates can help alleviate any pain. What’s more, while at Pilates learn to focus on your breathing while wearing durable Yoga pants. You may also make some friends if you go regularly. Friends can influence you to continue to wear Yoga clothes and head to Pilates all the time to unwind.

 

Swimming to get Your Mind off of Work

Swimming is a low impact sport and is very worthwhile because it can strengthen and lengthen your muscles. In addition it’s a great workout that can make you feel like you’re getting away from it all even though you’re just taking a swim at your local gym. Wear swimwear that’s trendy but feels comfortable while you’re swimming laps. If you do decide that swimming is an activity you’d like to do regularly invest in ladies swimwear from Sweaty Betty. Having women’s swimwear you love can encourage you to workout at the pool regularly simply because you’ll look forward to wearing fun and trendy swimwear.

 

Dance Away Your Stress

Dancing is a lot of fun and no we don’t mean dancing at a club, even though you can certainly try out your salsa dance moves after taking a class or two. Why not try purchasing some dancewear for a Zumba, modern, or belly dance class? Trying something new can boost your confidence and help you dance away any stress you may be holding on to from your fun yet sometimes overwhelming career. Enjoy salsa lessons and you may leave a class with a new idea for an upcoming project at work.
