Running a business is like training for the Olympics—except instead of medals, you’re chasing profits, and instead of carb-loading, you’re stress-eating coffee and donuts. Staying fit as a former athlete while juggling spreadsheets, sales calls, and sleepless nights? Yeah, it’s a full-court press.
But fear not! With a few solid workouts, some tips, health products, and personalized advice available via a call, you’ll be back in championship form in no time.

The Athlete-Turned-Businessperson Dilemma
Remember when your biggest problem was a sore hamstring? Now, it’s remembering your accountant’s name. Post-athlete life hits hard. Your body’s like, “Hey, where’d the training go?” while your brain’s screaming, “Deadline! Deal! Doughnuts!”
Without movement, your energy tanks faster than your team when the coach forgot the Gatorade. Let’s face it: the glory days of being chiseled and invincible are behind you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t stay fit and sharp. With the right workout plan—and XS™ Pre-Workout Boost supplements for some backup—you’ll crush those boardroom and gym goals alike.
Workouts for Your Brain and Body
A. 15-Minute Power Circuit
Your schedule’s tighter than your pre-game jersey, so keep workouts quick and explosive—like you used to be.
1. Burpees (3 sets, 10 reps)
Because nothing says “I still got it” like gasping for air.
2. Push-Ups (3 sets to failure)
Remember when you could bench-press your body weight? Push-ups are the humble reminder you can’t anymore.
3. Plank Holds (3 rounds, 1 min each)
Great for core strength and practicing the sheer willpower you’ll need during tax season.
Pro Tip: Boost your energy before this workout with XS Energy Drinks by Amway. They pack a punch without the sugar crash—because the last thing you need is to flop on the floor like a tired fish.
B. The Entrepreneurial Cardio Hustle
Who needs the treadmill when you’ve got business calls? Strap on some sneakers and:
- Pace around your office like a coach who just got a bad call.
- Use stairs instead of elevators because, let’s be honest, you can’t bench-press your way out of bad cholesterol.
C. Yoga: For When You’re One Email Away from Losing It
Yoga isn’t just for hippies. It’s the secret sauce to calming your inner “angry player benched in the fourth quarter.” Try:
Child’s Pose: When the stress of payroll hits.
Downward Dog: Stretch out that hamstring you haven’t touched since your last game.
Fueling Up with Amway Health Products
Workouts are one thing, but fueling your body is just as important. Remember those game-day shakes? Swap them out for XS™ Sports Protein Shakes. It’s like the MVP of post-workout nutrition—clean, plant-based, and easy to digest.
Why Ex-Athletes Love It:Recovery on Point: Helps repair muscles after you crush your burpees.
Balanced Energy: Keeps you focused during those long meetings.
And if you’re short on veggies (because let’s face it, no one has time to sauté kale every day), grab the XS™ Sports Protein Shakes Vanilla. It’s loaded with essential nutrients that keep you running at peak performance—just like the good ol’ days.
Strategies to Stay Motivated
A. Pretend You’re Training Again
Every business deal is a championship game. Make your workouts part of the game plan:
- Set goals: “Run a 5K before I close this client deal.”
- Reward yourself: Hit the gym three times this week? Treat yourself to the good protein powder, not the sketchy discount one.
B. Trash Talk Yourself
Let’s face it: sometimes you need to channel your inner coach. “Come on! This isn’t the first quarter—you’ve got this!” Works wonders in the gym and the boardroom.
C. Join a Former-Athlete Group
Because no one understands your woes like someone else who peaked in college athletics. Together, you can reminisce, work out, and cry about tight hamstrings.
FAQs for Ex-Athletes Who Miss the Gym
Q: Can I just lift my briefcase as weights?
A: Only if you’re aiming for the Guinness World Record in creative laziness.
Q: What if I skip workouts for a week (or a month)?
A: Then you’re like every other retired athlete. But hey, even LeBron takes off-seasons. Just get back on track before you turn into a potato.
Q: Is fitness really that important for my business?
A: Yes. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy profits. Plus, you don’t want to pull a hamstring at the company retreat dodgeball game.
