The Secret of 12% Surge in Work Efficiency!

To Improve Your Work Performance, Get Some Exercise

Is your energy level currently low?  Are you searching for a clear direction but unsure where to begin?

Perhaps what you need is not a temporary getaway, but a profound and authentic transformation from the inside out. In today’s fast-paced and demanding work environment, finding ways to enhance productivity and performance is crucial. While many individuals turn to time management techniques and productivity hacks, one often overlooked factor that can significantly impact work performance is exercise.

Many top entrepreneurs and leaders integrate physical activity into their daily lives- NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and former Disney CEO Bob Iger both maintain a routine of exercising every morning. By consistently training their physical stamina through exercise, they are able to cultivate a stable mindset crucial for navigating high-pressure work environments. This practice has become a critical cornerstone of their success.

Three Core Workplace Skills

Numerous studies indicate that engaging in exercise allows individuals to cultivate three essential abilities: Resilience, Proactivity, and Concentration.

Research has consistently shown that physical activity has a profound impact on various aspects of work performance. In addition, regular physical activity has been linked to reduced stress levels, better time management skills, and increased resilience to work-related challenges.

Challenges and setbacks are inevitable during exercise. Whether it’s fatigue, muscle pain, or failure to meet a goal, every moment of persistence and pushing past limits quietly forges our resilience.

A 12% Increase in Work Efficiency

According to research from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, employees who actively engage in exercise have a 12% higher work efficiency than their sedentary colleagues. To begin with a run for hundred meters to complete 5k and 10k, every rep, every step, even small choice stacks up. Through repetitive training, we subtly cultivate the action bias and execution power essential for high-performance individuals. This ensures that a dream is no longer a distant blueprint but an achievable reality.

Extending Concentration for Another Two Hours

Scientific research has long confirmed that regular exercise promotes blood circulation and increases oxygen supply to the brain, effectively boosting memory, focus, learning, and problem-solving abilities.

A study from Jönköping University in Sweden found that just two minutes of aerobic exercise can enhance focus for up to two hours. When we are sweating on a treadmill or stretching on a yoga mat, our brain is simultaneously running at high speed, quietly accumulating energy for every challenge in the workplace. By releasing endorphins that bring pleasure and relaxation, it allows us to remain calm and rational even in high-pressure environments. Possessing stable emotions and clear thinking will be your greatest advantage for standing out.

Annual Profit Contribution

Whether joining a running club, a basketball team, or participating in a group fitness class at the gym, physical activity provides an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded partners. These connections, forged by a shared passion for physical activity, are often purer and more resilient, and they frequently transform into valuable professional contacts or connections in the workplace down the line.

The value of this active lifestyle is quantifiable: Australian research shows that office workers who walk 10,000 steps daily and engage in three gym sessions per week contribute an extra 2,500 AUD (approximately NT50,000) in profit to their company annually.

Motivated or not, just get moving!

By constantly challenging our limits, you will realize you are far stronger than you imagine. Every act of self-transcendence is a process of breaking limitations and unleashing potential. This confidence, born from exercise, naturally extends to our personal lives and the workplace, making us more willing to try new things, take on greater responsibility, and pursue higher goals.

Starting from now on:

• Aim for just 20 minutes of exercise every day, such as brisk walking or jogging.
• Utilize your lunch break for simple stretching or a quick walk.
• Participate in company or community sports activities to enhance social interaction and collaboration.

If you’re looking to up your game at work, make an effort to include more physical activity into your days. The power to transform your life and career is already within you. You just need to activate it
