Staying Fit During the MBA Program

This blog post was influenced by one of our listeners! We received a question asking: "How do you stay fit while working toward an MBA after all those demanding hours?" It's definitely true that getting your MBA demands a lot of your time. That's why time management is such an important skill to master.

Since Mia and I are both currently in our MBA programs, we both gave our two cents:

Mia's response:

"It's really hard! I gained 17 pounds so far during the MBA program. I try to schedule work-outs into my calendar, but inevitably something always come up. Not to mention, that there are a plethora of opportinities to eat unhealthy food and drink alcohol. I'm hoping to squeeze in work-out sessions next semester!"

My response:

"I don't have time to feed myself! Just kidding! ;) Being extremely busy with school, group projects, club meetings and networking mixers forces me to be better at time management. That way, I can also make time to work out and have a social life."

Once you get into a regular routine exercising at least a couple times per week, it becomes much easier to maintain that lifestyle. Even if you only work out for 20 minutes, that's okay!
