Maximal Achievers know that exercise is VITAL to peak performance. Billionaires became so by working harder and smarter, by staying mentally motivated, and by being physically active and healthy. They have learned that there are other alternatives to the all or nothing approach to exercise. The studies show that every step counts. When you are in an office every day, standing is better than sitting down. It’s better to take a few breaks and go for a walk than to just stay in your office all day. There is a benefit to any and all physical activity and movement. When you find the time to actually exercise, that is a bonus.

Some simple steps to take to make the activity in your day count are simply standing, doing calf raises for a minute, walk around if possible, park a little further from the office than you normally do, ditch the elevator and take the stairs for even a couple of flights, walk to a colleague's office instead of calling them, even doing a few yoga stretches at your desk during the day helps and adds to your total activity during the day. Your journey to be your Maximal Self starts with giving yourself the credit you deserve. Remember, every step counts.
