Amisha Vora, MD, Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt Ltd says, “We organise physical events, seminars and webinars to enlighten employees on physical fitness. To a great extent, such programmes also depend on individuals and how they prioritise health. Providing more facilities, giving time and encouraging employees towards physical and mental fitness could be useful.” As a part of the daily fitness regime, she recommends one to either walk, do cardio exercises or do yoga.

“A fitness regimen does lead to increased agility, encompassing both mental and physical aspects,” says Shourya Chakravarthy, chief human resources officer, Aptech Limited. He adds, “By providing gym facilities within our office premises, conducting annual health checkups and organising periodic wellness awareness sessions, we promote a culture of well-being and work-life balance. To effectively manage the balance between workout time and job efficiency, we also provide on-site fitness facilities, encouraging breaks, promoting time management and leveraging remote work and virtual fitness options.” Photo Courtesy: iStock

Rahul Patel, yoga trainer strongly recommends exercising in the morning. He says, “Your body is more active and fresher than when you simply show up to work. If you do not devote time to physical improvement, you will not be able to contribute effectively with age.”  Photo Courtesy: iStock

“Workouts are most effective when done in the morning,” says Binoy Boban, management executive and certified martial artist. He adds, “Workout routines are meant to help you improve your everyday actions. They help improve your focus and response to challenges. Walking is the simplest activity to do. The key is to challenge your body into new movements that set your system into action.” 

A fitness routine should be adapted to the lifestyle of the individual. For instance, a person with a desk job would require movement-based exercises or yoga in addition to strengthening routines. However, planning a workout routine in the offices depends on how comfortable employees are with the idea.
