But not only this, data collected over the past decades suggests another, more immediate effect of regular exercise: its influence on our thinking, cognitive abilities and productivity.

According to a 2017 study published in the National Library of Medicine (USA), the quality of our physical routine has a direct impact on our cognition. And our effectiveness at work is the one area where the ramifications are most important. Take into account the following cognitive advantages that result from regular exercise:

• Better concentration
• Improved memory
• Faster learning
• Long-term mental endurance
• Increased inventiveness
• Reduce tension

Exercise has also been shown to improve mood, which also correlates to productivity at work. There is evidence to support the idea that working out during working hours may improve performance. According to a 2008 study by Leeds Metropolitan University, 80.4 per cent of employees experienced positive behavioural changes after exercising during working hours.
