is it possible to stay healthy/fit in banking?

Does anyone who already works in banking have a perspective on this? I understand that the hours are bad and that we should expect a terrible lifestyle, but is it possible?

You would think bankers would be more productive if they could stay fit and eat well...

 

It's really up to you and how you want to allocate your limited free time. Some analysts are more dedicated to working out than others. If you want to, generally there is time to go to the gym during dinner for an hour or so, and depending on where you work, a gym should be very closeby. On the flip side, it's very easy to eat crap food every day given that your dinner is free. You'll be stressed out and tired frequently, so falling into a bad pattern happens to a lot of analysts. Another option is to buy free-weights and exercise at home, which is the approach I took.

the eating healthy thing is a HUGE challenge - i try t oeat salad most of the week but that gets boring and once in a while you just need a good bacon cheeseburger with fries

i have a pool and health club in my building so its easier to work out - some bb's have subsidized gyms so that helps too

 

Yes, it is definitely possible to balance working out and the job, but of course, sacrifices will have to be made at times. You will need to find a gym close by, or a 24-hour gym so that you can get into the pattern of hitting it up for a quick workout after work (yes, it's often late, but it is a matter of getting into the routine). Usually, if your gym is close, you will be able to scoot down for an hour or so in the evening (usually around dinner time, after some seniors start to leave and before the evening tasks really become doled out, or when you pass some work up the chain for review). Bottom line: it is definitely possible to make the time for a healthy lifestyle complete with weight lifting, but it will, as everything in banking, require some sacrifices now and again.

I drop 20 pounds during my analyst stint... and all the analysts I was working with were pretty slim too...so I guess it is possible. The thing is to manage stress, some people eat to release it, some don't eat...

I personally do some boxing and running just to release the pressure. On another side, nearly all the guys I know that work in IB/PE/ER are pretty much fit though...

 

dont eat shit, thats the biggest mistake...

also, be proactive, make sure no matter how tired you are, get a small 15 minute run outside or some pushups and curlups before you go to sleep, or even right after you wake up.

I know plenty of people who wake up early before work to workout, or some even go to the bank's gym in between downtime...

If you want to stay fit, you really need to try - it's going to involve sacrificing free time to head to the gym. It also gets frustrating because it's impossible to establish any sort of routine. Just when you're starting to get to the gym consistently, form a habit, and see some results, one of your deals could blow up and you won't be able to work out for 3 weeks. Frustrating, but you've got to do something to try to stay in shape anyway.

The takeout dinners are what is really deadly. It's hard enough to get healthy takeout anyway, but after a long week of getting dumped on, not sleeping, etc - all you want is to treat yourself to a steak or a juicy cheeseburger. Ordering the salad again for the 4th time this week gets rough. Then again, I'm a stress eater - I know some guys in my class that just wasted away because they couldn't get a bite of food down when under stress.

Bottom line - work out when you get the chance, because your unpredictable schedule and SeamlessWeb conspire against you.

most of the talk has been around eating less or healthier....for me, I am a skinny person and its hard for me to gain weight. In fact I lose weight easily. I feel the most healthy when I work out + eat 5 times a day to maintain my weight.

so is it possible to eat 5 times a day in banking? Do they care if you eat while you're at your desk? Can you even go out and get food that's not lunch/dinner time?

 

Yes, you can eat multiple times a day as long as you don't make a mess all over the docs you are working with, printouts, etc - in other words, don't get an overstuffed sandwich and drop it all over the corrected pitchbook you are working on. Beyond the mess, it is fine to keep protein bars, powder, fruit, sandwiches, etc at your desk to have during the day at little down times here and there. If you want to get a snack, it's fine as well since the majority of analysts and above will take at least a few breaks throughout the day to walk it off and grab some coffee, etc - you can just grab a quick snack instead. Your not shackled to your desk, since, at the end of the day, bankers have upgraded to those nifty ankle tags (in the form of a blackberry) to keep you from going to far and to reel you right back in when need be, haha. But seriously, in general, you will be able to eat several times a day and go out to grab a quick snack/meal as well.

 

You definitely can stay "in shape" and "fit" in finance, but I have personally found it difficult to be at the same level of fitness I was able to achieve in college. For a stretch in school, I was in great shape. I would play basketball for an hour or so almost every day, and then would work our (weights) for about an hour on top of that about 5 days per week. Since I was so active, I could eat pretty much anything I wanted (within reason) and not have to worry about it. I looked great, felt great and was really happy that the hard work in the gym paid off.

Since then, I went into my upperclassman years, drank more, ate more, worked out less an definitely put on a lot of weight. I made a committment to myself recently (past 6 months) to try and get back to the way I was in school. I joined a gym, work out for about an hour 5 mornings per week (short cardio and then lift) and try and eat healthy. While I have lost some weight, and look better, it's nothing compared to how I used to be.

What makes it difficult is the pure fact thy you are sitting at a desk all day literally not moving. My biggest form of exercise on days I don't work out is the 5 block walk to the subway in the morning and the 2 block walk to get a salad at lunch. With almost NO movement, you burn almost no calories. With that, as the above posters commented it is extremely easy to find yourself eating crap. Even of you have a salad for lunch and dinner, you inevitably find yourself snacking throughout the day, drinking coffees, etc, all of which add up.

In order to get into great shape (at least for me) you have to eat a lot, but also work out a ton and burn a lot of calories. This is nearly impossible when all but 2 of your waking hours are spent in front of a computer. I never thought I would miss having to walk all over campus to get things done, but I do.

Hope this helps.

 

I understand where people are coming from and saying that its easy to eat food that isn't the best for you when its paid for, but on the flip side I don't. When I'm given $30 to spend on a meal, I'm ordering Sushi, Thai, Indian, etc. When I'm by myself or its on my tab I never spend $20-30 on delivery.

I believe that having your meal paid for allows you to eat better, not worse.

In the interest of drive and vanity... you should definitely work out regularly. My first year I put on a good 10-15 pounds.

My system is simple.. I work out regularly. I do this any chance I get... I'll leave at 2 in the afternoon and be back by 3:15. I'll leave at 7 at night and come back after. And I typically align my meals after I work out. You, or I at least, generally always feel like eating healthy after a workout, if I eat anything too unhealthy, I feel pretty sick. Before my workouts I'll have a light snack or protein shake. And I often do crunches, push-ups, pull ups in the morning before leaving my apartment and/or in the evening before going to bed.

I find that its easiest to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you workout and eat right. Because when you work out, you feel healthy after and want to eat healthy. When you eat healthy, you feel like its a waste if you don't keep up with your workout. I also used to smoke and quit when I started working out, primarily for that exact reason. So it could just be my personality, but I think generally its harder to eat unhealthily when you work out regularly, and harder to skip workouts when your eating habits are disciplined.

 

yeah after doing the summer internship and seeing how some of the first year's were falling into a routine of subway cookies, burgers, chocolate shakes and snacks from Sherwoods (is that place still open), I realized that I needed to work out.

So I joined a 24/7 gym, bought some dumbbells and a fitness ball. made sure to exercise every chance i got and avoided eating crap as much as i could.

after all this, i still put on about 10 pounds in my first year and got into shape during my second year.

u have make time for it. if all you have time for is a 10 minute jog on the treadmill, then do it. marcus, that's a nice schedule. perks for working at a MM?

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.

I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

 

I found it easiest to stick to the routine if you have good workout buddies. My roomate and I would meet up in the afternoon everyday (7 days a week) during my summer stint and workout for 45-50mins. Nothing to intense but the consistency allowed me to stay fit i think.

 
SirBikealot:
great thread. would you guys recommend joining a gym close to work or home?

Work. You'll spend more time at work than at home, and it's easy to either step out for an hour or go right before or after work, so logistically it makes more sense to be near your office.

 

Wow, this is an absolutely amazing question. Definitely a top concern of mine going into the career, and in terms of efficiency, going to a gym near work certainly makes the most sense.

 

Watch out for the free dinners. A. Oatmeal with pecans and wheatgerm for breakfast. B. If you don't live in lower Manhattan, then get off the subway a couple stops early and walk. C.I also learned to have healthier snacks in my purse so you don't get tempted by any junk food vendors. Oh and most importantly, ease up on the weekend booze if you drink

 

20 minutes of HIIT 5x per week!

I have a freakin' gym in my building (apartment) and work very reasonable hours (~70 per), but still haven't really gotten into the habit of going to the gym... I think I needed some time without HAVING to go to the gym (was a college athlete, so forced to lift year round for the past four years). Starting to get grossed out though, so my plan (along with every other American) is to start getting in shape AFTER the New Year...

But seriously, it can be really difficult. It's a lot easier if you can find a buddy (or buddies) in your group who will push you to go around 9 or 10 and then come back and crank out what work you have remaining -- I've done it a few times, and it's a good way to clear the head and get an energy boost after staring at an Excel screen all day.

 

Pretty much all those bullets were incorrect. Maybe if you're a girl and ALL you do is sissy running on a treadmill. HIIT while good for losing fat doesn't do anything for you endurance. I don't see how you can consider yourself fit if you're only doing interval sprinting without some distance work. Obviously you don't have to run marathons or even half marathons, but having the lung capacity to run several miles at a time is pretty important to your overall health. Low body fat isn't the only indicator for healthiness.

What I don't understand though is how people get a chance to work out during work and taking a break. It seems like a pain in the ass to get a workout in, shower, and change back into your dress clothes for work. How the hell do you do it?

I respectfully disagree with this. I've never, ever been a long-distance guy -- I absolutely hate it. Before I was introduced to HIIT, I could run about 2 miles in 20 minutes (which is terrible) and that was about it. This was at about 12% body fat, so I was in pretty decent shape.

After discovering HIIT and doing it for about 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week, for about 2 1/2 months, I ran a tad under 7 miles in under 50 minutes. I did this out on a track in about 45 degree weather. Keep in mind, during the 2 1/2 months of doing HIIT, I never ran more than 2 miles for "long distance."

It is an absolute pain in the ass to get a workout in during work. What a bunch of guys in my group would do is wait until 9 or so, and at that point you generally know what kind of night it'll be, so if you feel like you should be out by 12 or 1, go to the gym, get a quick workout in, and come back in your gym clothes without showering. It honestly saves about 15-20 minutes and is WAY more comfortable than having to throw your work clothes back on (assuming you don't sweat like an absolute pig).

First off, HIIT does improve endurance, in a few months as soon as your body adapts to HIIT, HIIT would have a more significant impact on your endurance compared to muscle building or fat burning.

Secondly, (off topic discussion) why do people always wanna compare everything to MMA? Personally, i think MMA isn't that great. "MMA is for white people who cannot box! " - Floyd Mayweather

I respectfully disagree. You look at all those fighters who are told by their trainers to do "road work" and you'll see how quickly their gas tanks run out on fight night. Said fighters are often lean and can probably run 5 miles at a decent clip, but they can't go two MMA rounds without heaving.

Low-intensity training for longer durations does not give you the endurance needed to survive 15 to 25 minutes of pummeling and hugging another dude.

Solid idea. Join a boxing gym. Great combo of cardio/functional strength. Plus you can kick ass after a few months.

Tool.

Get a clue.

Sprinting/High Intensity is infinitely better.

Sprint will improve your endurance and speed. Distance will improve your edurance and SLOW you down.

Heart rate and breath rate are all that matters. Endurance running is wildly inefficient.

Keep things civil; I'm not going to get into a pissing contest on wallstreetoasis of all places about exercise routines of all things. If you want to read an analysis of the often cited study in favor of HIIT (Tabata), you should check out:

http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/research-review/effects-of-moderate-in…

Most gains form HIIT come in the first 3 weeks and then they plateau after that. I'm as big of a proponent of interval training as anyone else, but focusing solely on it is pretty silly. Have you seen a 350 pound obese person attempting HIIT on a treadmill? It is one of the most ridiculous sights you'll ever see.

 

Can someone explain what HIIT is? I can see that it stands for High Intensity Interval Training. Would love to hear what specifically you do though.

Also, would love to hear everyone's thoughts on maximizing endurance. I'm a soccer player and always looking to enhance my endurance to improve my game -- any thoughts from the group? Links to websites people have found effective work as well.

Thanks.

I'm obviously a big fan of HIIT, but logically, sprinting for 30 seconds, recovering, and repeating doesn't prepare you very well for running over an hour at a time. Your overall health will definitely improve (because HIIT is so freakin' painful) which translates to being able to run longer, but I think it's pretty important to incorporate distance work also if you really want to improve endurance.

 

A quick synopsis of high intensity interval training: You sprint as hard as you can for 30 seconds, then you walk/jog for 60 seconds and you repeat this 5-6 times. The time/amount of cycles aren't set in stone. As you progress along, you can increase the duration of sprinting, reduce the duration of rest period, or increase the number of cycles. Generally, people do ~20 minutes or so, but it's definitely a grueling exercise. Vomiting and feeling light-headed aren't uncommon.

It's been really popular relatively recently because it boosts the metabolic processes for hours after you exercise. Although you're only running for 20 minutes, your body continues burning calories even after the workout (as opposed to steady-state moderate intensity cardio).

It will definitely help with soccer during those "bursts" when you have to run as fast as possible and you'll also be able to recover faster, but from my own experience, I didn't think it helped too much for running the duration of an entire soccer game.

 

I am a HUGE fan of HIIT. It has helped my long distance running, but not too significantly (then again, I haven't been the most consistent gym rat these days). hiit gave a good description of it. I would be careful when attempting it as first as you don't want to faint while sprinting on a treadmill...can be disastrous. Also, you really don't want to do HIIT for more than 20 minutes because it can cause muscle deterioration after a certain point.

Let's not forget that you need to incorporate weight-lifting into any exercise program as increases in muscle will help your metabolism, keep you strong as you age, and, of course, make you look jacked.

In terms of nutrition, New York is full of health-fanatics, organic freaks, and there are many great options on SeamlessWeb for this. I can't remember all of them but there are places like...Energy Kitchen, Pump Energy, and Subway(if you do it right) that allow you to eat VERY healthy. The food may not be the best tasting, but it is great for you and if combined with a solid work out plan will keep you healthy and fit.

mango123:
well if you can work two days out of the week (weekends), that's not too bad. for those of you who currently work at a bank, since you get 3-4 hours of sleep per night, wouldn't sleeping be more important than working out?

You sleep more than 3-4 hours per night. Don't believe in everything you read on here. People tend to over-exaggerate a lot, especially those in IBD.

Yes, there may be a week or two when you only get 3 hours of sleep per night, but that would be considered an extreme week, and definitely not the norm.

 

Just curious as I'm preparing for my upcoming SA internship. Is it possible to bring your own lunch, hit the gym for an hour or so when everyone is out to lunch, and then just eat at your desk when you get back? Would that get in the way of face time as everyone has gone to lunch anyway?

Normally how long is considered a normal lunch break on days when you're not swamped?

Sorry for the multiple questions, thanks for any replies.

Don't skip lunch with the team as a SA. Bad move.

You have another year of college to get in shape.

Kuf could be referring to athletes that need to work out during the summer to prepare for the upcoming season. As a SA, is your best bet to try and workout in the mornings and/or night and try to do two workouts over the weekend (assuming you have more free time relative to during the week)?

Definitely agree though with your comment about not skipping lunch, doesn't seem like the best move.

 
  1. Most important: Sleep well and eat well, I'm not in banking but I heard it's sometime 100+ hours per week and I've been like that for some weeks. So try to get enough sleep during night. Also, try some healthy food, not those fast food but food cooked by chefs. Less coffee and more water.

  2. Don't exercise too much if you don't sleep well. I know some guy who actually died on a trend machine. Staying fit is totally different with staying healthy.

  3. Find a good massagist, could be quite helpful.

 

You sit on your ass 15-20 hours a day, then lay down for the rest of the day.

Your metabolism will fall rapidly, your calories intake allowance drops as a result of said inactivity, particularly the ammount of carbs and sugars you should be intaking.

Work out twice on your day off (one being cardio), and a couple of times around dinner time during the time your working, keep your evening meals high protein, low carb, and you'll be fine.

I had an 8 pack at university, admitedly, that's now a 4 pack, perhaps put on 4% body fat or so, definately lost a little muscle.

Its tough.

Be disciplined.

are there healthy options when ordering for dinner? can you order from anywhere, or is there a pre-approved list?

I would say the best food is cooked by mother. Second best is what tastes like mother's food :P

crossfit... its perfect...you get the body of a god, the endurance and fitness of an mma fighter, and it takes, usually, no more than 15 minutes...(1 hour with warm up and stretcing)

Where do you get your crossfit workouts from? Do you make them up on your own?

I remember I found a site a few months ago that posted a daily crossfit workout that took no more than 20 minutes... It was different every day and provided a real nice change of pace. I can't for the life of me find the site again and was looking for some suggestions to mix up the workout so I don't get bored too quickly -- any suggestions?
