Squeezing in Exercise for Executives

Mitch Poche

You know exercise is important. But between board meetings, travel, and endless demands on your time, how do you fit it in?

The Minimum Effective Dose

Good news: You don't need hours in the gym.

  • 20 minutes of HIIT equals 45 minutes of moderate cardio
  • 2-3 strength sessions per week maintain muscle
  • Even 10-minute movement breaks boost productivity
  • Strategic Exercise Windows

    **Morning Routines:** 5:30 AM workouts before email, 15-minute hotel room circuits

    **Midday Movement:** Lunch break walks, standing desk intervals

    **Evening Wind-Down:** Light yoga or stretching, evening walks with family

    The 20-Minute Circuit

  • Warm-up: 2 minutes
  • Squats: 1 minute
  • Push-ups: 1 minute
  • Lunges: 1 minute
  • Planks: 1 minute
  • Repeat 3 times
  • Cool-down: 2 minutes
  • The Compound Effect

    20 min × 5 days × 50 weeks = 83+ hours annually. That's equivalent to 3+ full days of training!
