No one knows how important doing sports is for our physical and mental health, but not everyone succeeds in making sports a part of their life. Various excuses can be put forward for this, but mostly it is said that the reason for not doing sports is “not having time”. Are you really that busy? You may not be dealing with only your work or school, but you definitely have 1-2 hours to spare for your health and motivation during the day. It happens when you want it, really.
Successful people who have reached the points they want in their careers and are an inspiration to many people can spare time for sports. According to a survey of more than 1,300 people by a leading research company, 75% of respondents say that body shape is important to success at the executive level.
In addition, Laura Vanderkam, author of the book “What the Most Succesful People Do Before Breakfast”, in her book written by interviewing many successful people, explains that successful people start the day early and include exercise in the first hours of the day. According to a study conducted at the University of Georgia, exercising before starting work increases focus, improves brain cells and reduces stress.
Here are some of the world-famous successful people who have made sports a part of their lifestyle:
…
Mark Zuckerberg:
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, takes care of doing sports three days a week. He usually prefers jogging early in the morning. On some days, his dog accompanies him.
