Fitness-Inspired Habits for Business Owners to Build Smarter, Stronger, and More Sustainable Workdays
As someone who’s spent 20 years immersed in both the fitness and entrepreneurial worlds, I’ve seen firsthand how the same principles that build lasting strength in the gym can also build thriving, values-driven businesses.
When you live in an active, entrepreneurial community like Central Park, inspiration is everywhere…but, so are distractions. So, how do you stay disciplined when your attention is constantly pulled in so many directions? And, how can you remain optimistic and forward-thinking when your business feels stagnant? You create habits.
This 5-Day Discipline Challenge will help you refocus, move with intention and positivity, and gain real traction.
Day One: Turn Your To-Do List Into a “Look What I DID” Lis
Celebrate what you complete — not what you miss.
At the end of the day, are you hyper-focused on the tasks that didn’t get done? Flip the script.
Start a running list of everything you did accomplish and review it at the end of the week. You’ll start seeing your consistency and effort as reps that build your business muscles.
Day Two: Make Movement Non-Negotiable
Schedule 20 minutes of movement into your calendar each day this week.
Treat it like any other important appointment.
Movement isn’t just a health tool — it’s a business one. It fuels energy, focus, and long-term sustainability. Even a walk through the Central Park trails, The Stanley Marketplace or a quick bodyweight circuit at home can shift your mindset for the day, prepping your mind and body for learning and creativity.
Day Three: Sprint Train for Long-Term Gainz
(Couldn’t help myself with the gym rat terminology – sorry!)
Marathoners use sprints to build speed and endurance — your business needs the same.
Set a timer for 90 minutes and pick ONE thing you’ve been putting off; social media content, client outreach, bookkeeping, or that blog post you keep pushing.
Turn off distractions, set your intention, and just start. Think of it as your business HIIT workout.
If you loved this exercise, join us every Monday at 10am MST in the IGNITE Community for a virtual accountability sprint that keeps you focused and moving forward.
Day Four: Cross-Train Your Skills
Runners lift. Lifters stretch.
It’s unrealistic to be the expert in every area of your business, but you need awareness of the full landscape: marketing, mindset, systems, sales, and visibility. Explore one new area this week.
Build confidence in the business muscles you haven’t flexed in a while.
Day Five: Strength Starts at the Core
Without core strength, everything else suffers, in fitness and in business.
Your business core? It’s your values, your purpose, your joy. When your daily actions align with what really matters to you, you make smarter choices and stay steady under pressure.
Take a fresh look at your mission and vision statements – do they still reflect where you’re headed, or is it time for a refresh, even a complete rewrite? Just like the body adapts to training cycles and requires new challenges to keep growing, your business evolves too. Give yourself full permission to reevaluate and refine your direction as needed.
A strong core doesn’t just hold you up – it keeps you grounded in what matters most!
