Pretoria Time
In your early days as chief executive officer, you had all the energy in the world. The fast pace of the life exhilarated you. You occasionally had to strain to do everything you could, but you pushed through. Now you're starting to feel fatigued. Just that pushing through gets harder and harder.
The fatigue that you may think is the product of nonstop overwork and not getting younger is really all about your health. Jim Loehr calls it the human energy crisis.
Loehr is a co-founder of the Human Performance Institute, in Orlando, Fla. His company helps executives get and stay healthy through its Corporate Athlete program. Loehr estimates that 40% of CEOs are technically obese. (The technical definition of obesity is having a body mass index of more than 30; body mass index is the ratio of your weight in kilograms to the square of your height in meters.) In Mississippi, the heaviest state in America, obesity among the adult population is 32.5%. CEOs are seriously overweight.
