MAKE THE LOCKDOWN WORK FOR YOUR WORKOUT REGIME

-

Mood boosting:

Getting those endorphins flowing can seriously improve your firepower at work, not to mention the day-to-day benefits of feeling great!

Building mental stamina:

It’s not just physical stamina that is improved by regular exercise, you will be able to work more productive­ly and for longer periods if you break your day up with well-timed work outs.

Juggling life in isolation with home working is certainly a challenge, but as a bonus you do have extra time.

Here are a few ways that you can find the time to boost your daily exercise regime while working from home:

Cash in on the former commute:

Why not reallocate the time you used to spend commuting at the start and end of our day for regular exercise?

Just as you would put a meeting into your diary, put some time for a workout into your diary and stick to it.

Getting active at lunchtime can even help you beat the afternoon slump and maintain productivi­ty throughout the day.

Diarise that exercise meeting:

Pump up your lunchtime:

Get creative with home exercises:

Perhaps you could set yourself a challenge – maybe to clean the k kitchen in less than 15 minutes before y your next call or meeting?

By making sure your workout re regime is creative and less limited, you will provide a serious boost to your physical and mental health as w well as your working day.

LOYALTY, love, family dysfunctio­n and ruthless ambition combine in this firstrate biographic­al drama.

Jennifer Lawrence plays self-made tycoon Joy Mangano, the inventor of the self-wringingmo­p in Joy (tomorrow, Channel 4, 11.15pm).

When Joy cleans up shattered glasses filled with red wine using a traditiona­l mop, the idea for the Miracle Mop is born. Joy takes her prototype to an executive at a home shopping channel, who provides her with a platform to realise her dreams.

Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro reteam with director David O Russell and Lawrence following their success with Silver Linings Playbook.
