But fret not. These are easy to keep under control. In fact, you are among the lucky (and smart) to stumble upon this post. Because it is entirely within your power to thwart these energy and motivation sucks and reclaim your vitality (and believe me, you will need it on your quest).
But what exactly is working against me you say? Well, the answer is obvious…

You see, college has a certain “lifestyle” associated with it. An occasional late night drinking binge topped off with a delicious, piping hot pizza isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But do that over the course of four years and we have the makings of a recipe for disaster.

Even better, following these tips will allow you to indulge in certain “recreational” activities whenever you want.
And its so easy to do. Which leads us back to your careers…
Want to perform better at work? Are you always tired and you feel it’s time you changed the situation? You are not alone; many men are in your position. However, it takes extra courage to hit the gym, eat right and engage in other proper fitness activities. If you are still reluctant about getting fit, read these fitness facts.
1. Exercise enhances brain power
You will not only experience physical benefits, but also mental ones. Working out boosts the energy levels, this in turn increases the serotonin in the brain. The end result is improved mental clarity. If you want to do better in school, at work or any other activity, start getting serious about fitness.
2. It is not difficult to find time to exercise fitness
The important factor is to spend your time more wisely. It is a case of targeting two birds with one stone and killing them both. Some exercises such as HIT require only a few minutes of your time in a day. In the worst case scenario, where you lack even these minutes, consider engaging in quick work out activities.
3. The moves melt stress away
As much as you might be stressed out when you think about exercising, it is an ideal way of losing the stress. Exercising leads to a feeling of relaxation that is a positive distraction. When you are less stressed, think about the many people who will benefit from it. Your family, friends, and workmates will see a new you, since you will be able to handle your social life appropriately.
4. Fitness keeps illnesses at bay
Research has indicated that fit people are less likely to suffer from an array of diseases such as high cholesterol, arthritis, stoke, diabetes and high blood pressure. It also aids positively in the aspects of aging processes. Since exercising will strengthen the joints in muscle, your odds of feeling the aches will be reduced.
5. Chop up a few cucumbers at the start of your week
Cucumbers are not only a delicious snack, they fight off harmful toxins in your system that can build up after a late night pounding some brews. Cucumbers slices are dynamic and easy to add to your diet. You can put them on your sandwich, in your salad, in soup or even on your pizza! Packed with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants you simply can’t ignore this healthy powerhouse.
6. Get a Good Stretch In
Its no secret that stress is a killer. In fact, its directly associated with some of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Its safe to say that axing stress from your life will do wonders for your health. And stretching does just that. Stretching has a therapeutic effect on your nervous system. When done correctly, stretching can lower your stress levels noticeably. The icing on the cake is that stretching can be done anywhere, and its totally free!
7. Supplement with Fish Oil
Fish oil is the best kept secret in the fitness industry right now. Crammed with Vitamin D, Vitamin A and extremely healthy Omega 3 fats, fish oil fills all the gaps. Vitamin D & A deficiencies are most common for office workers due to lack of sunlight. Omega 3s help your immune system to ensure you keep the sick days to a minimum. With fish oil, you basically turn into a corporate terminator that doesn’t get sick and always has high energy levels.
