The Surprising Habit That Could End Up Helping Your Career
Many people exercise regularly because it's the healthy thing to do. Maintaining a physical fitness routine can not only help you avoid medical problems, but also, give you energy and serve as a form of ongoing stress relief.
But new data from online fitness resource Fitrated.com points to another benefit of working out -- it could help further your career. In a survey of roughly 1,000 people, about 78% say that exercising has helped their job performance improve, specifically on the productivity front.
Not only that, but in the same survey, people who work out were more likely to snag a raise than those who don't. Now to be fair, with a sample size this small, that could be coincidental. But think about it this way: People who exercise on a regular basis often have more energy and less stress than those who don't, and those two factors could impact job performance, thereby leading to more money.
