Your task for today’s home office fitness challenge is to complete two rounds of the home office workout below. This workout includes some exercises that you are now familiar with plus some new fantastic exercises that you’ve probably never seen before.

Full Body Home Office Workout

I originally created this video for my friend Angie Newton of “Losing It and Loving It“. Angie is an inspiration to many people having lost 70 pounds. She’s recently become a Fat Loss Quickie member and I am super excited to see the results that she achieves while following the quick home office fitness program.

After you complete the home office workout let me know how you feel. Let us know if you notice an increase in productivity throughout your day.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,

PS I’ll be having ice cream cake today just in case you were wondering

People are taking notice of the example that you have been setting with your new, healthy, balanced lifestyle approach to fitness. You are helping spread Fat Loss Quickie Fever around the world. Your fellow work-at-home-moms and dads have been inspired by your actions and are getting up off of their “Computer Butts” and making home office fitness a priority in their lives.

But that’s not all who’s taking notice. Your family… the people who you are busting your butt off for, in order to create freedom and fun in their lives, are also taking notice. You are an absolutely incredible role model for your children. They’re watching your every move and taking notes.

Here’s one example of one of our Fat Loss Quickie members who has made a positive impact on her young Children…

Work-At-Home-Mom Role Model

That’s Arika Lewis’ two beautiful young children. They’ve been watching her do her quickie home office workouts and they are now active participants.

I’m proud of Arika and every other work-at-home-mom and dad who is setting a healthy example for their children. If more parents were setting an example like this, we wouldn’t be faced with an obesity epidemic.

Think of all the reasons why you started your home business. Freedom and more time with your family is probably at the top of your list. But if you are at the computer all day and neglecting your health, that’s not going to create the freedom that you and your family deserves.

You are a role model for your kids. Your actions influence their behaviors. I know that you want to give your kids every advantage possible. The best advantage that you can give them is a healthy active lifestyle.

Your kids want you around for a long time and they want the healthiest best possible YOU to be in their lives for a very long time. They deserve that. They deserve a parent that will enjoy a great quality of life right up to the end.

It makes my day when we are visiting a friend or family member and my kids reach for an apple instead of the cookies. It makes my day when for no reason at all my kids bust out some burpees or jumping jacks and encourage everyone around them to get involved.

If you have been watching my videos for a while I’m sure that you have witnessed my kids joining in on the fitness fun dozens of times. Every time that they see Angie and I working out they want to get involved. They see the fun that we are having and it’s just so much a part of our routine that they believe that’s the normal thing to do (workout frequently).

It’s not just our toddlers that are being influenced. I’ve been hearing from many of the Fat Loss Quickie members who have their teens joining them in their workouts. These teens will be entering the work force in just a few years. The example that you are showing them is that quick home office workouts are a great way to boost your productivity, help you gain focus, improve your quality of work and time management, and boost your energy and health.

As a role model you are demonstrating that spending long hours at your desk is not necessarily the best way to get more done. You are demonstrating that breaking your day into chunks and filling a couple of those 10 minute time slots with physical activity will actually help you get more done in less time so you can enjoy life to the fullest and spend more quality time with your family.

Your task for the day… Show off your new healthy lifestyle to your family. Encourage them to participate. Let them know why home office fitness is so important to you.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for having a positive impact on the health of our youth as well as our fellow work-at-home-moms and dads.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,

Scott Tousignant

I have a special guest post from my friend Jan Ferrante. Jan is known as the “Queen of Kaos” (I love that name) and she offers some awesome tips and advice for work-at-home-moms and dads looking to increase their productivity and improve their time management.

Jan has put together a great post for you today that I am sure you will enjoy. After all, one of the main benefits and purposes of quick home office workouts is to boost your productivity and improve your time management. I’ll be sharing a lot more advice with you about how you can get more done in less time so you can do the things that you enjoy most in life. Now onto Jan’s post…

Making Time For Exercise For Homepreneurs

Making time for exercise when you work at home can seem like a real challenge, but the biggest challenge starts in your mind.

It’s so easy to bump yourself to the back of the list and next thing you know, whoops!, the day is gone.

WHAT TO DO?

That part is easy.

Make it what I like to call a non negotiable.

A non negotiable is just what it sounds like, something solid, that leaves no wiggle room for negotiation.

You won’t be telling yourself I’ll do it tomorrow… today doesn’t count… I can skip this time (and the next time and the next) or anything like that.

Because it simply will not be an option for you anymore.

It won’t even be on your radar.

HOW TO GET THERE?

In the end, it is always a matter of simply deciding to make putting aside the time you need for exercising a non negotiable, but you may need to have a look at WHY you want to exercise every day to get there.

Here are a few thoughts to get you started. Dig deeper to find some more, or to find your ‘one thing’ that will keep you going should you be tempted to ‘open negotiations’.

If…

WHAT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO

It all comes down to two words.

Non-negotiable.

If you can remember those words, any time you are tempted to let something else elbow out your exercise time you will remember that it’s not an option, because you’ve made an agreement with yourself. Period.

You will find yourself saying “Let’s get to it now“, instead of “No, I can do it another time“… a time which never comes.

Next thing you know, you will find that you are making time to exercise during your work at home day.

Day after day.

WANNA KNOW A SECRET?

Non negotiables work in every area of time management and productivity. If you want to do something, first you need to identify why, decide what to do, and then you need to make it a non negotiable and start saying yes.

If you’d like to learn about more secrets to work at home productivity and achievement, you can get them with your free subscription to WAHM in Focus, your weekly source for work at home solutions or visit theQueen Of Kaos Blog.

So, how did you enjoy the guest post from Jan Ferrante? Let us know your thoughts and opinions. I for one absolutely love the idea of making fitness a non-negotiable. It’s a great way to prove to yourself that fitness and health is a priority in your life. It is a top priority for you right? Of course it is, because you realize how much it will increase your productivity and improve your business and quality of life.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,

I just finished watching an outstanding video on the topic of increasing your productivity from my friend Frank Rumbauskas. This is a ‘leaked’ video from his upcoming program, “Your Attitude Sucks”… I love that title The video is a bit long (40 minutes) but it is well worth it. I usually click off a page when I see a video that long, but Frank and Scott Sandland had my full attention for the complete 40 minutes.

How To Explode Your Productivity

By the way, Frank also includes home office fitness into his workday to boost his productivity, energy, and focus.

Frank is one of the most down to Earth guys that I know and has an incredible grasp on what’s really important in life. As you’ll hear in the video above, what matters most to Frank is FREEDOM! Not just financial freedom, but the freedom to do what he wants in life. If you don’t have your health you’ll never truly be free.

I’ll never forget the first presentation that I watched Frank give at an Internet Marketing conference. His story of perseverance inspired me and he’s been a role model of mine ever since.

A really key point to take from this video is, “What motivates others may not motivate you”. Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’. Just become the best YOU that you can be and follow your passions and go after the goals that have greater meaning to you and fall in line with your life’s purpose.

Frank and Scott get into a great discussion a the beginning of the video about purchasing an information product, whether it be a diet book or business building book, and not following through with the information before moving onto the next program or book. Can you relate to that?

I encourage you to take the time to watch the entire video. There’s great conversations about FEAR, success, and much more.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about the video and any tips that really hit home with you. Share your comments in the box below and let us know what you think.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,

Join me for a walk as I share the many benefits of quickie home office fitness as well as the benefits of long duration cardio such as a 30 minute bike ride or brisk walk…

Benefits Of Quick Workouts and Long Duration Cardio

The key to a successful fitness program is compliance. The easier a program is to stick with, the greater the chances are that you will experience long term success. That’s why it’s important to follow a program that suits your lifestyle and includes activities that you enjoy.

One of the major benefits of the Fat Loss Quickie home office fitness program is that the workouts are only approximately 10 minutes in length and you don’t have to leave your office to do your workout. It’s convenient, and don’t tell me that you don’t have 10 minutes in your day to take care of your health and increase your productivity.

I have previously shared some of the benefits of quick home office workouts such as helping you get more done in less time because of increased productivity, energy, and focus. Improving your quality of work and time management, as well as increased networking opportunities.

Now it’s time to share one of the physical benefits. Quick home office workouts will boost your metabolism in a major way. Long after you’ve done your quick workout your metabolism will still be revved up, burning calories, and melting fat. Your metabolism will stay cranked while you are working at your desk and you’ll be burning more calories even while you sleep.

Let’s move onto the benefits of long duration cardio. I encourage the Fat Loss Quickie members to incorporate some form of long duration cardio into their work week and I recommend that it’s something that they enjoy.

For example I absolutely love to ride my bike during the spring, summer, and fall months. It helps me clear my head, get in-tune with my body and my thoughts, and generate new ideas for my business, many of which I implement as soon as I get back from the bike ride and have a quick shower

I get a lot of my ideas for my blog posts while I’m out on a bike ride as well. I bring my Flip camera with me and attach it to my handle bars with a JOBY tripod. I then record any ideas that I get during the bike ride.

It’s nice to get the variety of long duration cardio in addition to the quickie home office workouts. Combined they pack a powerful punch that help me get more done in less time and strike a balance between fitness, business, and life.

So your task for today is to go for a walk, bike ride, or any form of long duration cardio that you enjoy and allow your head to clear and new thoughts enter your mind. If you generate an idea while you are performing the long duration cardio, get home and take immediate action on it.

Share your idea with us here and celebrate the fact that you took immediate action on it.

You ROCK! Enjoy the experience,

Scott Tousignant
