Sticking to a health fitness career is tough, and building a successful career is even harder, but balancing the two doesn’t need to be impossible. Many of today’s top leaders believe that physical fitness is integral for professional success, and it’s time to start taking notes. Executive leader Ted Fick is a prime example of someone who’s done just that. He’s a passionate marathoner and Ironman athlete who has competed in at least one race every year since finishing his first marathon in 2006, and he does it all while traveling for 75% of his time.
Balancing fitness with professional success, as leaders like Ted Fick everywhere do, can help you enjoy your life and even make more time for the things you love. As you schedule training to fit with your work, you’ll see areas where you can eliminate time wasting activities and free up your life for the things that matter. If you’re training for something specific, like a marathon, find or design a training schedule that works for you and then prioritize it alongside your work as you plan your days.
