Health Tips for Busy Executives:
How to Exercise & Be Happy
No Matter How Busy You Are
by Becky Wenner
Too many executives think that exercise and fitness means going to a gym, getting on the
treadmill and lifting weights. While these forms of exercise do work- and I use them 4-5
times per week - they are NOT the only ways to get fit!
I always advocate DIVERSITY and TIME EFFICIENT workouts-
especially if you are an executive!
Your responsibilities are endless.
- Juggling career with family
- Long hours
- Business development
- Clients
I am a busy lawyer and business owner! I know and
understand! The list of responsibilities seems endless! No wonder you feel overwhelmed by
the thought of going to the gym and exercising on a regular basis! With a short yet
effective workout, you will be able to work your heart and muscles to help you achieve
weight loss and keep it off!
Another way I encourage executives to get fit is through
physical activities that also serve as leisure activities! These can be done with the
family, alone or with friends! The use of exercise as fun and relaxation is a great way to
get two important tasks done at the same time!
I always tell my clients - think outside of the box!!
What do you love to do?
What activity brings you great happiness- so much that you
are forced to smile when you think about it?
You have rock climbing, horseback riding, surfing,
swimming, boating, kayaking, hiking, flying trapeze, golf and tennis. The list is
endless!!!!
Maybe you like working out outside in a park during break
time - feeling the morning or afternoon sun on your face! Or maybe snow shoeing in a
blizzard!
These are all great ways to get fit and have FUN! You just
have to follow some simple exercise principles I set forth for you
Are You Following the 3 "C's" of Weight Loss
Success?
There are three very important factors that MUST be present
in ANY fitness plan you choose if you want to be successful in losing weight. Without the
3 "C's" below, your attempts at health and wellness will be short lived.
1. COMMITMENT:
In order to be successful at anything - you must be committed. You must make a decision on
a given day that you are going to change your life, decide how you are going to change
your life, understand why you want to embark on this change and go ahead and be committed
to the change no matter how busy are.
Know and understand that your commitment to a healthy
lifestyle- is 80% MENTAL. While you are changing your body, becoming more fit, exercising,
changing the food you eat- know these are all mental changes as your mind controls your
body. Without mental strength and commitment, your life change will not last.
See, I often hear clients say - "I can't!" That
is not true - what they are really saying is "I don't want to." And, that is
fine. You don't have to. But let's be honest with each other and say it like it is-YOU CAN
and YOU WILL once you make up your mind to do it!
2. CONSISTENCY:
After you have made your commitment to your new life change- the next element that
naturally follows is consistency. You must be consistent with the changes you make in your
life. You must be consistent with your healthy lifestyle to see and feel improvement.
Without consistency - you are failing in your commitment to your health and your new self.
This means you must follow a healthy lifestyle for a long
period of time- even if you are frustrated, tired and even cranky. Forge ahead, push on,
you will feel better for it.
3. CONTROL:
Finally- know this- without control, you will not be successful in your life change. When
I refer to control - I am talking about the self-control you need to ensure you eat good
fresh foods, lean proteins, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, and whole grains whether you're
traveling, busy running around with your family and kids, or going from client to client.
Even though it may be easier to buy a McDonald's hamburger that will not help you with
your weight loss efforts.
When I talk about control I am talking about the ability to
say NO to things that take you away from achieving your weight loss goals. I am talking
about the need to control the forces in your life to ensure you have time to sleep, rest,
exercise and enjoy the basic human rights of eating, resting and exercising.
Take CONTROL of Yourself and Your Life Today and Start
Enjoying a New You!

consistent fitness plan that gives you full control! And, don't forget to stay committed.
