Engage: Get Moving

Moving into Employee Engagement

 zinger david

by David Zinger

Our body needs movement to maximize our use of oxygen, increase our flexibility, and physically contribute to our levels of engagement. Get regular exercise but more immediately ensure that you move every hour to 90 minutes. Overcome Newton’s law: A body at rest tends to stay at rest.

Here are a couple of “moving” statement from Jim Loehr’s in The Power of Story:

Lack of movement = Lack of energy

To perform better, you need to move more.

Movement is the most powerful stimulant the body experiences.

To exercise get moving beyond your comfort zone:

Comfort: bad.   Pain: bad.   Discomfort: perfect.

Get comfortable with discomfort, move right into employee engagement, and when you need to perk up remember that movement not coffee is the most powerful stimulant for the body.

    I tend to move around my office a lot. Sometimes I’ll take the elevator downstairs and pace around our building a few times – I find that even a couple of minutes of movement will help keep me refreshed and it makes it easier for me to get stuff done afterwards.
