Learn how to balance work, life, and fitness despite our tight work schedule with CEO and Founder, and President of Keep It Tight Athletics Art Trapotsis

Balancing work, life, and fitness can seem impossible with so much competing for our time and energy. If we’re spending 8 to 12 hours at work for most of the week with 2 days “off” dedicated to family, errands, and possibly more work - where will fitness fit?? 

 

Our guest today is Art Trapotsis and he will show us how he not only achieves this balance in his own life did but how he also implemented balanced work, life, and fitness values in his company as a CEO of a medical device company in Massachusetts. Art is also the founder, and president of Keep It Tight Athletics, a Boston-based cycling club, and the book author of The Everyday Athlete.

A glimpse of what you can learn:

 

Learn the benefits of family, work, and fitness balance including the neuropsychology of how physical activity boosts our mental activity resulting in outcomes like happiness, energy, assimilating learning, and more. 

 

Dispel the myth of having separate buckets for family, work, and fitness - Fitness is very interconnected with everything else that we do in life and we can't think of it as a separate silo that you can put on hiatus for a few weeks or a few months, because will affect the other pieces.

 

Hear about the ripple effect throughout the rest of your life by getting a walk at lunch, getting some fresh air, and going a walk during lunch break.

 

Find out how to ensure your workforce participates organizational fitness and wellness programs. 

 

Discover the biggest misconceptions and mistakes of people - even the master athletes. 

 

Determine where you are today and how you can take a small step toward balancing family, work, and fitness.

 

In this episode:

 

Art shared how he was able to integrate family, work, and business. Learn how a busy CEO of a Manufacturing company, a dedicated family man, and a passionate athlete 

integrated these three areas of life and implemented them into his company for the benefit of his workforce. 

 

Aura shared her concept of family, work, and fitness. Find out how she fits socializing with friends and exercising into her working schedule. 

 

Art shared how his company embraces fitness from an organizational standpoint not just from a personal standpoint.

The most surprising thing for Art, in his research for the book, is that literally everyone struggles with it. It doesn't matter if you're a national champion, everyone struggles with it. There's no one solution. You have to find your own unique motivation to get going on this path.

 

Julie shared her knowledge and expertise about motivation relating to having the motivation to start exercising and being fit.
