Fitness should be a key component in anybody’s life simply for the fact that it makes you feel better. It is recommended that you get 30 minutes a day by most experts standards. But in my opinion you should do at least 40- 60 minutes of exercise a day.
The Benefits Of Being Fit
More Confidence
One of the first benefits that come to mind is confidence or raised self esteem. After all when you feel good you look good and that definitely shows in a person if they take care of themselves.
More Energy
Let’s face it people that exercise have or seem to have more energy than people that don’t. Let me give you an example. If you where to do cardio in the morning before you went to work do you think your day would run smoother and you would be more upbeat for the day? You beat you would. Working out might seem like a chore at first. You might even feel like you have no energy to workout. However remember this, working out on a regular bases give you more energy in the long run.
More Organized
I am drawing from personal experience here but whenever I am on a structured program or workout regime, I become more organized in other areas of my life. Area’s such as work, friends, family and leisure time. So try making fitness a part of your life. You never know what you might be able to accomplish.
Goal Setting & Achievement
Doing any kind of fitness program will help you with goal setting. Not only that it will help you in reaching those goals. Make sure when you set your goals they are always realistic and achievable. If your goals are really easy to reach your sub conscious mind won’t mind helping you reach your goals. But if your goals are set too high, then you might look at it as a negative if you don’t reach your goal, even though your still achieving. So set small, realistic, and achievable goals and you will get to your long term goal in no time.
Weight Management & Reduction
Of course with fitness brings weight loss and fat reduction but only if you have a balanced healthy diet. Weight loss however should not be the only reason why you embark on a fitness goal. Make it part of your lifestyle, so that it is something you do whether you are happy, sad, or tired.
These are just five reasons why fitness is important but the biggest thing you should take away from this article, is to make fitness a priority, make it part of your daily life and you will have a better life because of it.

So you have landed a new job and anxious to get started building your new career in new company.   Once you get over your new employee fears and get oriented to your new space, you will find it takes more than smiles and kind words to fit in. 

Here are few things to keep in mind as you make the transition.

Don’t whine.  At least not to the people you work with at the office.   Talk about any job challenges or work related issues with friends, family or trusted colleagues in other companies, and not with your new coworkers.  Avoid complaining about too much work, too many assignments or too long hours at the office.  The fact is, no one really cares how much you have to do since everyone else has their own work, their own assignments, and their own long hours as well.  Avoid becoming too cozy with the resident whiners in your new company as well. 

Make your manager aware of what you are doing and ask for feedback.  A colleague once talked to me about a new energetic recruit who showed a lot of initiative on the job.  Although this new worker meant really well, as my colleague put it, “She was running a great race, but she was in the wrong stadium completely.”  Make sure the work you are doing is relevant and critical to the mission.  Additionally, make sure your work is being noticed.  It will take a while for you to get into your groove in your new office, and making sure you are not working contrary to the flow is good.  Watch also that you are not inheriting assignments from those who want to hand off their jobs.

Show enthusiasm and energy for the job, business or industry you are in now.  If you just got hired by the largest plumbing fixture manufacturing supply company, you need to get excited about plumbing fixture manufacturing supplies.  People who enjoy the domains they work in are interested in learning more and will ultimately tend to do better on the job.  If you are not prepared to have meaningful conversations about your job or the industry within which your company operates, you will not be happy.  

Stay on time.  If you have a problem being punctual, work really hard to correct that behavior.  Be in the office on time, if not early, be back from lunch on time and do not pack up twenty minutes before your shift or day is supposed to end.  Arrive on time for meetings and work harder on your own time if you have to.   Of course today’s workforce is more about productivity than time spent in the office, but it is still a good idea for to show others you respect their time.  

Limit talk about what you did in your old job, company or worse in a class.  This one is pretty hard to do, but it is something you will master eventually.  It is been my experience that people sometimes don’t want to hear new ideas if they came from your old job, old company or worse from a class.  Of course your prior knowledge will show in your work, but limit talking about where your skills come from.  You can credit publications, the media or a conference, but not your old job, company or class for new ideas.  

Of course none of these tips are cast in cement.  In addition to the requisite due diligence to do your new job well, you just need to heed some of these other workplace protocols that will expedite or slow your assimilation in the new environment.
