Do you take breaks between work? Recently a video of Zerodha founder and CEO Nithin Kamath doing push-ups has gone viral on social media. The billionaire can be seen joining his colleagues whilst they do push-ups between work. The session was conducted as part of a collaboration between Zerodha’s venture capital fund and incubator, Rainmatter, and Sisters In Sweat, a sport and wellness community for women.
Taking a break, walking around and exercising between work has its own set of benefits. Let us learn more.
Increased Energy Levels
Short bursts of exercise can boost your energy, helping you stay alert and focused throughout the day. Make sure to take breaks and go for short walks to get more active.
Improves mental clarity
Doing impromptu exercises like push-ups can help stimulate blood flow to the brain, enhancing cognitive functions like concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills.
Improves posture, reduces pain
Do you feel immense back pain after heading home from work? Regular movement helps alleviate tension and stiffness, improve posture, and reduce the risk of back, neck, and shoulder pain from prolonged sitting.
Helps improve mood
A long, boring day at work can be changed in minutes by doing some spurts of exercise. Physical activity can improve overall mood and emotional well-being, making you feel more positive and motivated.
Social interaction
Doing exercises together or going for walks can be a great team-building and bonding exercise.
Makes you fitter
