Corporate athlete

I completed 4 workouts on my abs today and cycled for 16 minutes on a stationery bike. Shirley yogas. Clarice cycles. Minte runs.

We've all heard the basic rules of peak performance: get the proper amount of rest, eat a good diet and exercise. Somehow many top leaders think they do not need what the rest of us mere mortals must have to be at their best. Virtually many whom I know drive on relentlessly - irrespective of how their energy levels work.

As I type this, the manchester united vs reading game is about to kick off. These professional footballers are extra-attentive to what works and what doesn't work in terms of driving themselves. No athlete would dream of driving hard all the time. They know they would risk burnout.

After all, we only have only one life. Without our health, we have nothing.
