The 11th “Global Wellness Day” has passed us (June 11th), but the significance of this day isn’t something that ought to be overlooked. When it comes to running a law firm, owners may not think that physical exercise has much importance, but the truth is that physical fitness is instrumental in business. Physical fitness is a key part of mental health, and mental health is overwhelmingly important when it comes to succeeding in the business world. You might not hear this in law school or business school, but it’s the truth nonetheless. This year, take the message of Global Wellness Day seriously and make a commitment to improving your mental health today. Here is a list of the 7 top exercises for the body and mind that you can do.
1. Yoga
Yoga’s incorporation of meditation and breathing can help improve your mental well-being. Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness, relieves chronic stress patterns, relaxes the mind, centers attention, and sharpens concentration.
2. Swimming
Swimming is well-known for its benefits to cardiovascular health and overall wellbeing. Whether recreational or competitive, swimming has substantial athletic requirements and can be quite demanding from an energy standpoint.
3. Cycling
Like swimming, cycling carries plenty of benefits for cardiovascular health and overall fitness. When you cycle, you’re using your whole body to move forward and generate power; in a sense, it is really the “ultimate full-body workout,” similar to running or jogging. Cycling can be an excellent way to improve your physical and mental health.
