Performance Power!

Did know how your fitness regime can help improve your performance at work? In this blog post from the Workout Warriors you can find out how!

We know it can be difficult to make the time to exercise when you have a house, a family, a job to manage and not a lot of free-time for yourself, but we’re here to tell you, that with our group private fitness sessions you’ll not only do something purely for you and improve your fitness; according to recent studies, there’s evidence to suggest that exercising actually helps improve performance at work.

It can take a while to get into the routine, and to squash those excuses that can rise in your head with all the reasons why it’s ok to hit that snooze button, go for lunch with a colleague rather than for a run, swerve the gym in favour of the sofa after work, but it doesn’t take long to realise that a workout can actually boost energy levels, and improve focus and performance.

For us, exercising improves our mood; the feeling that we have accomplished something has both a positive mental and physical effect; knowing we’ve taken care of our bodies, and cleared our minds to focus on ourselves and our health.

Health and fitness isn’t all about calorie counting and losing weight; it’s about improving fitness, releasing those endorphins and kicking the day into touch. At Workout Warriors we provide private group fitness in Swindon, and the best bit; if you can get your buddies onboard, then you can come to your place of work, and get you working out with your work mates; keeping each other motivated, following our personalised group fitness training programmes designed specifically for you, your workout buds and your goals, you’ll get fitter, healthier, energised and potentially even improve your performance at work – it’s a win win!

A number of studies have identified the advantages of exercising; including:

• Improved concentration
• Sharper memory
• Faster learning
• Prolonged mental stamina
• Enhanced creativity
• Lower stress
• Elevated mood
• Strengthened immune system

So how is all this possible we hear you ask, join us for our private group workout sessions and see the results for yourself, not just helping you get fitter faster; but improving your general wellbeing. Exercising is proven to…

• Improve blood flow to the brain to sharpen awareness
• Enhance the body’s ability to transfer glucose and oxygen throughout the brain and body, helping to increase energy levels
• Aid your body in the release several different chemicals in your brain, collectively known as neurotransmitters; these reduce the discomfort of exercise and create the sensation referred to as “runner’s high” so fitness training can actually help you get happy! Yay!

The good news is, you don’t have to turn into a fitness fiend and do high intensity exercise every morning to reap the rewards. Mild to moderate exercise has the same affect – go for a brisk walk, a swim, a yoga class, a light jog, sign up for one of our HIIT training programmes and exercise when it suits you, or better still, get your colleagues or your buddies together and join us for our private group training; honestly, it’s the best way to exercise; tailored programmes designed to help you meet your goals, improved fitness, and to top it off, hang time with your girls.
