Do you exercise / work out regularly? Translation is my main business, so I spend most of time sitting in front of PC, and I don’t go out of home except for once-a-week grocery shopping, disposing of garbage, or going on business trips. It’s apparently a lack of exercise. I used to go jogging 4-6 times a week but I can’t do it in winter, so I have switched to workout at home during the season. I’m not good at doing physical activities in the first place, but turning it into a habit helps you manage time to exercise / work out, which results in a good, efficient time management at work. You will also feel more fit and gain energy for work.
My mindset has developed since last autumn and feel like doing more effective workout. Now I take a personal training, when I stay in Tokyo for a business trip. BY-FIT in Shibuya is the one. Mr. Katsuya Yamamoto, its representative coach, gives a logical yet easy to understand explanation during a session. Just feeling and observing movements don’t help me grasp how I should move, so with a clear, logical explanation, I can finally try exercising / working out. I have seen a variety of his Instagram video posts with clear guidance & text explanation and found them so convincing and understandable, which gave me an impression I would be able to achieve good results there! As expected, he gave me detailed yet clear advices: how I could correct to a proper form of squat, effective home leg workout menu. I visited him yesterday too and received a good chest training with dumbbell(s). The more the types of exercises you can do increase, the more fun the workout will be. Great that I haven’t got bored of working out at home thanks to him 💪
That I’ve started taking over interpreting assignments and I want to build up stamina for work with energy encouraged me too. That said, my main business remains to be translation, which is a desk-job, so I’d keep doing workout / exercises to get in shape so that I can enjoy working well 🏋️♂️
