The Secrets to Keeping Your Fitness Resolution at Work

The Secrets to Keeping Your Fitness Resolution at Work January is officially the bleakest month of the year. It’s cold outside, you’re broke and you’re stuck in your office making it difficult to kick start your health and fitness resolution.   Just because you can’t afford that gym membership and you’re office-bound and on your rump, doesn’t mean you have to let your fitness suffer.    Feel Good Contacts  has teamed up with Personal Trainer, Badrul Islam to help you to get fit without spending a penny. Our working world is designed so that we are sitting for eight hours a day. This is the most passive thing you can do which means that you’re not metabolizing sugars and fats.   Research shows that long periods of sitting can have a detrimental impact on our health and wellbeing and cut years off our lives.   The World Health Organisation listed inactivity as the fourth biggest risk factor in global adult mortality. But luckily there are some office exercises and other initiatives you can take to combat fatigue and weight gain. Here are some tips on how to kick start your New Year fitness program and keep your muscles engaged: Buddy-Up Once you’re back at work after the festive break, find a co-worker with similar New Year health goals so that you can support each other. It is easier to stick with your plan if a buddy is going through the same resolution and helps you to adhere to your schedule and nutritional goals. Alternatively, suggest a fitness initiative to your management team. This would be a great way to get everyone involved and lessen any embarrassment of exercising at work! Ditch the car Start your day by walking or cycling to work. But if this is an unrealistic option then get off the bus or train a stop or two early and walk the rest of the way. If you have shower facilities at work and want to push yourself even harder, why not get off the train or bus even more than two stops earlier and jog to work or home. You could increase the stops incrementally as you get fitter. If you dont have shower facilities at work, at least try to jog part of the way home. Share the load Something to bear in mind on your daily commute is how you carry your bag. Try to spread the load equally between both sides of your body by wearing a two-strapped backpack which will allow you to maintain a neutral spine and prevent chronic gait imbalances. You could also make your walk to work even more challenging by adding extra weight to your bag so that you burn more calories. Avoid the lift If you’re driving, then park further away. Once you arrive at the office block, get your blood pumping by using the stairs instead of the lift. Follow these suggestions and you’ll arrive at work feeling fresh, energized and with a clear mind. Lunch healthily Bring your own healthy lunch into work. Food preparation is a great way to control your consumption and saves you money as you wont be buying the quickest, most expensive option when youre in a rush. Chicken, turkey and egg-based lunches are packed with protein and will provide you with the essential building blocks for calorie-burning muscles.   Fish like tuna and mackerel are cost-effective sources of protein that  will also increase your energy and the omega-3 will help you to maintain a sharp mind and improve your eyesight.   Remember to supplement your protein with vegetables: not only are vegetables much cheaper than meat, but they’re also full of vitamins, minerals, and guilt-free calories and perfect to chop up into snack-size pieces to keep you going throughout the day. Fruit, protein shakes, salads, and natural fiber bars are also great snacks. Drink more water In terms of drinking, water is one of the easiest ways to manage body weight and reduce your food consumption.   To ensure that you are consuming a sufficient amount of water, keep 2 bottles of water (1.5- 2 liters) handy. This will leave you with no excuse for not drinking enough. When full, your water bottles will also be a perfect substitute for dumbbells or weights!   If you need to drink something warm, then try non-sugary herbal drinks, black coffee or broth. Task yourself fit Turn daily tasks into exercises.   Instead of emailing or calling your colleague across the room, walk over to their desk for a face to face conversation.   If you’re having a meeting, then suggest a standing meeting.   As well as getting you out of your chair, research shows that these types of meetings are a good way of increasing efficiency, making sure that the meeting doesn’t stretch to an hour when it can be done in half the time.   When you’re back at your desk, if it’s possible, stand up and do your work.   Standing uses more muscles and burns more calories than sitting and it’s good for your back and posture. If you can’t stand and work, then stand up every 30 minutes to stretch your chest and extend your spine to reverse the hunched position of sitting. Use a towel or find an office broomstick to use for stretching. Holding the towel or broomstick with straight arms at either end, rotate back and forth over your head slowly. Doing this can help to open up your c hest muscles and mobilize your back muscles.   Stretching is vital for maintaining good posture, especially when working at a desk for several hours a day.   It will also help to reduce back and neck pain significantly. If you’re feeling particularly energetic then why not try some  deskercise. Break regularly Try and break up multiple chunks of sitting time (set an alarm if you feel you need it) with some movement by taking trips to the water machine. The general rule is to take a walk at least every half an hour to get a glass of water.   People get dehydrated when they sit, plus at this time of year, the office will be heated so you’ll need the extra h20. When you’re stuck with some dead time, for example, whilst waiting for the kettle, photocopier or meeting room, don’t be embarrassed to do some light exercises like calf raises, squats or lunges. Head outdoors If you can manage to brave the cold weather, then go for a walk in your break.   Use your longer lunchbreak for a workout.   Go to your local park for a power walk or run.   If you’re new to running, then download the NHS’s Couch to 5K app podcast.   It will ease you in gently.   For a variety of exercises, look out for the communal gym equipment that has been installed in many parks up and down the country.   Failing that, you’ll often find monkey bars in the children’s playground where you can work on your pull-ups. Nimesh Shah, Marketing Director at Feel Good Contacts commented: “At Feel Good Contacts we know that if we keep ourselves healthy, we will be happier, have more energy, less sick days and are more productive.   But at this time of year it can be difficult to motivate staff.   So we have tried to implement simple things which do make a difference.   For instance, we take it in turns to go to the local coffee shop.   It’s a quick and easy way to get out of the office for some fresh air and a stretch.   Also, sometimes, when I have 1-1 meetings, I suggest we do this whilst walking, I find this encourages creativity and free-flowing conversation plus the added benefit of some physical activity.   All staff is encouraged to wear smart but comfortable clothes and most employees come to work in a pair of trainers which comes in handy for the lunchtime power walk.” Badrul Islam, Personal Trainer concluded: “Your health is more important than any amount of pay.   So be mindful of the length of time you’re sitting.   Doing so can mean a long and healthy career for years to come. In addition, prioritizing a healthy sleep pattern over social activity, will increase your energy, speed up recovery and boost your productivity.” About the author: Established in 2008 by qualified optometrists, UK based, Feel Good Contacts.com is one of the UK’s leading online suppliers of discounted  contact lenses  and eye care products.

Film Production Resume Tips

Film Production Resume TipsA Film Production Resume can be the first thing a hiring manager reads before hiring someone to start the production of your new movie. The resume has to represent the person's professional experience, as well as his or her film skills and abilities. There are several options that the hiring manager has when reviewing the resume, some of which are outlined below.First, keep in mind that there is a lot more to a resume than simply the person's education and work experience. Some of the most important elements are the actor's acting ability, as well as his or her involvement in the movie project. You will also want to include some information about the resume, such as the person's current or previous school, community or professional experience, hobbies, future goals, work history, and more. These are just a few things that you should include on the resume.Second, remember that the hiring manager will look at the person's profile and be able to tell if the pe rson is serious about making the movie. For example, some people do not take acting seriously, while others do. If the person does not take acting seriously, it is best to avoid hiring him or her. Also, you should consider whether or not the person's career is consistent. Some careers are very inconsistent, so a person may land a job and then have a hard time getting another one.Third, there are certain characteristics that may make the resume stand out. Things like:Are videos and home movies available to the public? In addition, do the person's films have any audio-visual effects, like a fog machine or sound booth? Some filmmakers choose to get the movie camera ready before shooting their movies, while others prefer to use a remote camera.Do the videos and home movies have high or low video quality? It is important that you have the equipment to shoot videos and home movies. Also, think about how you will edit the video. A person should not upload the video to the Internet unless t hey have been instructed to do so by the hiring manager.When you are planning a video shooting, you will need to consider how you will go about the editing. How will you add subtitles? What type of pictures will you choose to add? It is also important that you plan for the camera to move during the production of the video.Remember that when you are preparing a resume, make sure that you look for different features that you believe are important. Take the time to learn about the requirements of the job you are applying for. This way, you will know what types of things you will need to include on your resume, and you will also know what to avoid.

5 reasons to attend the Postgraduate Study Fair University of Manchester Careers Blog

5 reasons to attend the Postgraduate Study Fair University of Manchester Careers Blog Written by Callum McAvan, Student Communications and Marketing Assistant at the Careers Service The Postgraduate Study Fair will be taking over Manchester Academy on the 19th of November. Whether your heart is set on a particular course or you don’t have any idea what the future holds beyond your graduation, this fair is absolutely worth your time! Here are five reasons why. There are so many institutions in attendance When you were looking at your options prior to your first degree, you wouldn’t have only considered one option. So why would now be any different? We have over 60 institutions at the fair, including universities from up and down the country. No matter what your interest is, there will be several exhibitors at the fair who offer a course to match. Learn about funding “How can I fund further study?” â€" It’s one of the most common questions we get asked at the Careers Service, and naturally it should be a consideration. Despite that, it’s really not as cut throat as you might think. There are a plethora of options ranging from student loans to scholarships and grants that you may well be eligible for. These grants differ depending on the university so the fair is a great opportunity to find out what each institution can offer you to fund your study. We’ll also be offering talks with experts in postgraduate funding on the day, which can give you great insight into your funding options. Kill time between lectures It’s a tale as old as time â€" you have just finished a lecture and you have a seminar in an hour, or two. It’s not long enough to go home and continue your sixth re-watch of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ (just me?), but it’s too long to warrant sitting and scrolling through Twitter. Well, here’s where the Postgrad Study Fair comes in. It’s on campus, it’s indoors (so as to avoid the rain), it’s on from 12.30pm â€" 3.30pm and it’s big enough for you to pass the time by, and gain some great insight of your options for the future. There’s more on offer than you might think When you think of further study your first thought (if you’re anything like me when I was doing my Bachelor’s) is probably a master’s. Well, as much as there is a lot on offer if a master’s does interest you, it’s far from the only thing on the table at our fair. Further study can be a master’s, a PhD, a law conversion course, a PGCE to get into teaching, and much more! It doesn’t even have to be connected to your bachelor’s, if you want to try something completely fresh, many courses are open to students that have completed any undergrad degree. Freebies What list of reasons to go to a careers fair would be complete without the obligatory plug for freebies? Just remember, that if all else fails, at least you’ve attended, likely had a couple of pleasant conversations and bagged yourself a tote bag, some sweets and a handful of pens. Sweets taste better when they’re free, that’s just a fact. The Postgraduate Study Fair takes place on Tuesday, 19 November from 12.30pm 3.30pm. Book your free ticket and visit the Facebook event.

To Facebook or not to Facebook That is the question

To Facebook or not to Facebook That is the question Growing Up Facebook: one the most controversial employability tools to date. Getting caught with questionable content could mean a fast-track ticket to rejection, but is it worse just to avoid it altogether? The Graduate Recruitment Bureau discusses the latest suggestion that those without a profile might be deemed by employers as socially abnormal and consequentially considered less employable. Growing Up Take a minute to think back to your secondary school days, long and distant as they may seem. You might remember acing a few classes flunking the rest, a bittersweet romance (or two), etc.  Anyway, my point is, it’s usually easy to look back and laugh, perhaps even grow a little nostalgic about the the level of immaturity we grow and learn from. Now that (most of us) have grown a little older and wiser, it’s easier to see the errors in our adolescent judgement. But do we really grow out of it? It’s the occasional headline such as this which might suggest otherwise: “Is not joining Facebook a sign youre a psychopath? Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is suspicious.”   (Photo credit: Wikipedia) To Facebook or not to Facebook This Daily Mail article tenuously links the behaviour of two mass murderers to their lack of Facebook profiles and its sign of their insanity. It goes on to suggest that employers will be put off should they be unable to find you on the social networking site, assuming you have something to hide. Whilst scientists could be onto something in terms of social connections, in an age of shameless social media stalking is it so surprising that someone might just delete it altogether? There would be indisputable outrage if somebody suggested that the 0.6% of children who are home schooled in the UK pose a threat to society; after all they don’t by law have to follow the National Curriculum. What if they aren’t learning exactly the same as everyone else? Are their thoughts more likely to be corrupted? So let’s just say an employer who, as a result of finding no Facebook profile assumes you have something to hide content so bad it was easier to erase altogether. If this was the case, why wouldn’t you just set it to private? Mark Lane, Researching Consultant at GRB makes a valid point: “People are more clued up and have started using their privacy settings, but under normal circumstances there’s no need to delete it entirely. If you set your profile to private they can’t see anything anyway to them there can’t be any difference between someone having a private profile or a non-existent one.” Facebook Privacy Settings facebook privacy (Photo credit: Sean MacEntee) There is a huge number of reasons someone might prefer putting their profile on private to avoid being found and employers are not going to disregard you because of it. One of the major ones is naturally to avoid judgement on face value. This is no different from having a CV without a photograph; removing the chance for employers to overlook equal opportunity laws and potentially find ways to excuse a decision. Whilst it is by no means immoral to research a candidate online, there’s equally no obligation on your part to be there when they look. My name’s Tom Smith, they’ll never find me anyway. Even those with more unusual names will strike up at least ten different options so if you’re sporting a common name then you’re hardly likely to be identified in a basic search anyway. How is an employer going to know which of the thousand others is actually you? And if you really aren’t there, hiding amongst the masses? It’s really not that unreasonable to think some people just don’t find it necessary. It’s not unusual for fads to come and go, especially as you get older. Targeted advertising litters newsfeeds so much that you barely see what you want to anyway; perhaps they prefer to contact their 6 out of 879 “friends” some other way? It’s extremely far-fetched to deem somebody “suspicious” or worse,  dangerous  in an employer’s eyes. So keep your head screwed on. They’re far more likely to think twice if they see you passed out on a stag do last year. Stick with what you feel comfortable with showi ng the world and leave the rumour hyping to the teenagers.

Leave A Legacy

Leave A Legacy What legacy do you want to leave? What  impact do you want to make? How do you  want your peers and management to perceive you?  Today is the day to think about creating the right  reputation! Begin Building Your Legacy Today No matter what your past legacy was, you have the opportunity to create a new one. Rather than focus on what you need to fix, your weaknesses and flaws, choose to lead from a position of power by accentuating your natural talents. Whether you are starting a new job or holding on to one, set a new course. Review the list below and think about which award will fit most comfortably with your strengths and motivation. 1. Unsung Hero You may have strong organizational skills or excel at managing details. Are you the type of person who does your best work behind the scenes? The unsung hero award goes to players, like you, who modestly make a difference. You don’t do it for the recognition. You are probably the type of employee who says “I was just doing my job.” Success Tip: When you find yourself with extra time in your day, look for the opportunity to help someone. Offer to pitch in on a special project or help a teammate. Not only is your willingness to help appreciated, it can also set you apart as invaluable asset. Be sure you have completed your own work to the highest standards before going the extra mile. 2. Customer Appreciation Award Customers, both internal and external, love you! Your ability to listen open-mindedly and help resolve problems is a desirable skill set. Whenever possible, look for the chance to delight your customers. You can resolve an issue ahead of schedule, give more than your customers ask for or keep customers up-to-date on your progress. A word of caution when trying to serve your customers, always adhere to company guidelines. Your customer service strengths apply to almost every job you’ll ever have from this point forward. Success Tip: Be sure you collect the raving testimonials from satisfied customers and share them with your manager. 3. Best In Class You can’t compete against everyone. This may be the reason car makers use “best in class” designations. It allows a vehicle to stand out in the appropriate category. Is your category “new hire” “accounting” “team leader” or something else? Think about where you are in your career and organization and then think about how you can stand out in your category. You can use your job-specific knowledge and dedication to your field to set yourself apart. Consider one of these ideas: attend a professional conference to keep up to date on new trends; volunteer to develop content for the new hire orientation; offer to deliver training for your team. Over achieve in whatever category or class you want to recognition in. Success Tip: Talk to your manager about ways you can help raise the level of knowledge within your department or group. Once you’ve completed your project or assignment, don’t forget to ask for a recommendation on LinkedIn from your manager and teammates. 4. MVP The Most Valuable Player award goes to the best-performing athlete in a game, someone who outshines all the other players. You can take advantage of your confidence, hustle, dedication, or effort to bask in the glory of being a star. Use your innate strengths in problem-solving or taking initiative to make a difference. Step forward to lead a project or take on a challenging issue. Success Tip: No one ever achieves greatness alone. Be sure you give credit and show your appreciation to your colleagues. Be humble and show your gratitude.   5. Best Tech Gadget of the Year No, you aren’t a gadget, but you know how to get the most from technology. You naturally gravitate towards shiny new apps and your friends and family may already consider you their go-to tech genius. Why not carry your expertise over into the workplace? Keep in mind, you may not be the only employee in your organization with great tech skills. Share your reviews of apps and software solutions among your teammates, and perhaps your entire organization. Success Tip: Partner up with the other gurus for a greater overall impact and visibility. And always be sure to show the financial impact or efficiency gained through using the new technology. Which type of legacy will you leave? This post originally appeared on USNews World Report

Successful People The 8 Behaviors They Avoid - Kathy Caprino

Successful People The 8 Behaviors They Avoid In my work, I’ve been fortunate to learn from amazingly successful, impactful professionals and entrepreneurs.   I’m defining “success” here as achieving what matters most to you, individually and authentically â€" not as some objective measure of outer wealth, accomplishment or achievement.   Observing people in action who are living fully on their terms and absolutely loving it, I’ve seen how they think, react, interrelate, problem solve, and lead.   I’ve applied these lessons to my own life, and to those I coach. I’ve noted that people who love what they do for a living and have created tremendous success and reward, not only engage continuously in life-supporting behaviors, but also avoid certain negative actions and mindsets that other, less successful people habitually get lost in. The 8 self-limiting, negative behaviors successful people avoid are: Engaging in “below the line” thinking “Below the line” thinking refers to a particular mindset that shapes how you view the world in a limiting way.   It leads to your believing that what’s happening to you is outside your control and everyone else’s fault â€" the economy, your industry, your boss, your spouse, etc.   Below the line thinking says, “It’s not fair what’s happening, and I don’t have what it takes to overcome these challenges. I didn’t expect this and I can’t handle it.”   Above the line thinking, on the other hand, says, “I clearly see the obstacles ahead, and I’m addressing them with open eyes.   I’m accountable for my life and my career, and I have what it takes to navigate through this successfully.   If I fail, I’ll still wake up tomorrow exactly who I am, and will have learned something critical.” Mistaking fantastical wishful thinking for action Successful professionals pursue outcomes that flow organically from their current actions. Unsuccessful individuals attach to fantasies that may relieve them momentarily of their situational pain but have no basis in reality.   For instance, I’ve heard from corporate professionals who share, “Kathy, I really hate my job and desperately want to leave.   I’ve been wanting to write a book and become a motivational speaker for several years now.   What’s your advice?”   I’ll respond, “OK, great.   Are you writing and speaking?” and more often than not, the answer will be, “Uh…no.”   You can’t write a book if you’re not writing anything, and you can’t speak in public if you haven’t developed any material to speak about.   It’s critical to take bold action toward your visions, in order to create success.   Successful people develop huge goals too, but they crush them down into smaller, digestible (but courageous) action steps that they then build on, which leads naturally to the end goal they’re pursuing. Remaining powerless and speechless Successful people are in touch with their power, and are not afraid to use it and express it.   They advocate and negotiate strongly for themselves and for others, and for what they care about, and don’t shy away from articulating just how they stand apart from the competition.   They know how they contribute uniquely and the value they bring to the table.     In addition, they don’t wait to bring up concerns â€" they tackle challenges head on, speaking about them openly, with calm, poise and grace.   They don’t hide from their problems.   And they don’t perceive themselves as hapless victims. Putting off investing in themselves I see this behavior over and over in those who feel thwarted and unsuccessful â€" they are incredibly reluctant to invest time, money and energy in themselves and their own growth.   They are comfortable only when putting other people’s needs ahead of their own.   They’ll make any excuse for why now is NOT the time to invest in themselves or commit to change.   They feel guilt, shame and anxiety over claiming “I’m worth this.”   Successful people don’t wait â€" they spend money, time and effort on their own growth because they know without doubt it will pay off â€" for themselves and everyone around them. Resisting change Successful people don’t break themselves against what is or drown in the changing tides.   They go with the flow.   They follow the trends, and embrace them.   They are flexible, fluid and nimble.   They react to what’s in front of them, and improvise deftly.     Those who are unsuccessful bemoan what is appearing before them, and stay stuck in the past or in what they “expected,” complaining about how life is not what it should be and why what is feels so wrong. Honoring other people’s priorities over their own Successful people know what matters most to them â€" their priorities, values, concerns, and their mission and purpose.   They don’t float aimlessly on a sea of possibility â€" they are masters of their own ship and know where they want to head, and make bold moves in the direction of their dreams.   To do this, they are very clear about their top priorities in life and work, and won’t be waylaid by the priorities and values of others.   In short, they have very well-defined boundaries, and know where they end and others begin.   They say “no” to endeavors and behaviors (and thinking) that will push them off track.   They know what they want to create and the legacy they want to leave behind in this lifetime, and honor that each day. (To get clearer on your priorities, values, and desires for the next chapter of your life and work, take my free Career Path Self-Assessment.) Doubting themselves and their instincts Those who doubt themselves, lack trust in their own gut or instincts, or second-guess themselves continually find themselves far from where they want to be.   Successful professionals believe in themselves without fail.   Sure, they acknowledge they have “power gaps” or blind spots, and areas that need deep development.   But they forgive themselves for what they don’t know and the mistakes they’ve made, and accept themselves.   They keep going with hope and optimism, knowing that the lessons from these missteps will serve them well in the future. Searching for handouts and easy answers I can often tell from the first contact I have with someone if they’ll be likely to succeed in their new entrepreneurial venture and career, or not.   How? By the nature of their expectations, and how they set out to fulfill them.   Here’s an example â€" if a complete stranger reaches out to me expecting free help without considering what she may offer in return, it’s a bad sign.   Let’s say she asks something like this: “I’m launching my new business and wondered if you can give me some advice. I can’t pay you because I’m a startup, but I hope you can help me anyway.” From this one email, I know she’s not ready to make it happen in her own business.   Why? Because successful professionals (and those destined to be) wouldn’t consider asking for help in this way.   Instead, they: 1) understand that they have something important and valuable to offer in any situation, 2) are willing and happy to share or barter that in return for what they want, and 3) they treat others exactly as they would like to be treated. Successful professionals are respectful, resourceful, curious, competent, tenacious, and they figure out how to get the help they need without asking for handouts.   That doesn’t mean they don’t seek assistance when and where they need it , or make use of the many free resources available to them (like Score.org, etc.).   It means that they don’t expect something for nothing.   They treat others equitably and fairly and know they deserve the same.   Successful professionals realize that if they’re not willing to pay for products and services they want, then others won’t be willing to pay them (yes, it works like karma). They also know that their success is directly proportionate to the effort they put in.   Most of all, they understand there are no short cuts or easy answers on the road to success.
