Reasons To Cycle To Work With Cycle Shelters Direct2U:<\/h2>\n

Encourage yourself and employees to cycle to work with stylish and secure cycle shelters and reap the benefits!<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that the weather has finally decided to brighten up, more and more people are being inspired to exercise outdoors. Instead of rushing to the gym before and after work, many are choosing to cycle there and back instead. Cycling to and fr\"cycle-shelter\"<\/a>om work is not only a healthy choice for the body, but also for the bank balance.<\/p>\n

Not only is exercising in the morning before work beneficial for the body, it is also beneficial for the mind. Studies<\/a> have shown that contrary to popular belief, exercise actually gives you energy. Around 30 minutes exercise each morning can boost energy by at least 20%. \u201cToo often we believe that a quick workout will leave us worn out \u2013 especially when we are already feeling fatigued. However, we have shown that regular exercise can actually go a long way in increasing feelings of energy \u2013 particularly in sedentary individuals\u201d says Dr. Puetz. Other studies<\/a> have also shown that people who exercise before work suffer less stress and are more productive than those who don\u2019t. Workers who exercise regularly experience improved ability to concentrate and make complex decisions which improve job performance. General mood and calmness have also found to improve with exercise on work days. Bristol Universities Department of Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences found that: \u201cOn exercise days, people\u2019s mood significantly improved after exercising [\u2026] Critically, workers performed significantly better on exercise across [three main areas] known as mental-interpersonal, output and time demands.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to get the best of out your employees and staff, encourage them to cycle to and from work instead of wasting money on petrol. By boosting their exercise amount before work, their job performance will increase along with the general morale of the workforce.
