Introduction
As a professional in Amsterdam with full schedules, you know it: your laptop on, another meeting on your agenda and that gym ... always just too far away. These hacks will help you make the most of every moment, keeping your energy up and reducing stress.
Hack 1: Morning Micro-Workouts
Why. Your metabolism instantly turns on, you increase your alertness and you start the day feeling fulfilled.
How? Set your alarm 10 minutes earlier and do:
- 30 sec jumping jacks
- 30 sec squats
- 30 sec push-ups
Repeat this circuit twice. No additional equipment needed-your own body weight is enough.
Hack 2: Desk-Friendly Stretches
Why. Sitting for long periods of time leads to stiff muscles and a stiff lower back.
How? Every hour, between calls:
- Neck rolls (10 sec per side)
- Seated leg extensions (10 reps per leg)
- Chair dips (10 repetitions)
Perform each exercise in a calm and controlled manner, preferably in front of a window or in a bright room.
Hack 3: Lunch Break Express Circuit
Why. Short, intense intervals burn calories and reactivate your energy.
How? Find some space inside or outside, for example at Spaces Amsterdam West:
- 20 sec burpees
- 20 sec mountain climbers
- 20 sec high knees
Rest 40 sec and repeat 3 rounds. A total of 10 minutes and you are recharged! Tip: Supplement with a healthy bowl at SLA Amsterdam Oost.
Hack 4: Active Commuting Route
Why. By including exercise in your drive to the office, you won't save any extra time, but you will burn more.
How?
- Choose bicycle or e-step instead of public transport.
- Park your bike or Step a few blocks away and walk the last 10 minutes.
- Get off the tram/metro one stop earlier for an extra walk.
Hack 5: Evening "Power Down" Yoga
Why. Relax your muscles, reduce stress and improve your sleep quality.
How? Reserve 15 min in the evening for:
- Cat-Cow stretches (5 reps)
- Downward Dog (hold for 30 sec)
- Pigeon Pose (30 sec per side)
Follow a short session via YouTube or the BeyondFit app and then go to bed relaxed.
