Lunges & Listings: The Realtor’s Workout Routine You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’re a real estate agent, your days are anything but predictable. From early showings and open houses to long drives and back-to-back closings, you're constantly on the move, but that doesn’t always mean you're getting the kind of movement your body needs.
Let’s face it: the realtor lifestyle is active, but not always healthy. Long hours in the car, skipped meals, and zero time for the gym can take a toll. That’s why we created a simple, smart, and property-ready workout you can actually stick to.
Introducing: The Realtor’s Workout. Quick, efficient, and perfect for tight schedules and tighter listings.
Why Agents Need a Targeted Routine
Being a successful realtor means managing time, people, and energy—all while staying professional and polished. But what about your own well-being?
Here’s what most agents experience regularly:
Tight hips and lower back pain from driving
Poor posture from scrolling listings and texting clients
Mental fatigue and stress from deal pressure
Missed meals and low energy from nonstop appointments
The solution? A workout that fits into your lifestyle—not the other way around.
The “Lunges & Listings” Realtor Routine
You don’t need fancy equipment or an hour at the gym. All you need is 10–15 minutes, a little space (think: open house prep time), and the right moves.
1. Open House Lunges (2 minutes)
Targets legs, hips, and balance
Walking lunges down a hallway or backyard as you preview a listing. Bonus: you’re testing the home’s flow too.
2. “Closing Strong” Planks (1 minute)
Strengthens your core and posture
Hold a plank during your morning coffee or while waiting for documents to print.
3. “Client Call” Calf Raises (2 minutes)
Boosts circulation and tones legs
Stand on your toes and hold for 5 seconds at a time—perfect while on speakerphone with a client.
4. Desk Chair Twists (2 minutes)
Loosens up your back and boosts mobility
Sit upright and twist side-to-side to release tension. Great between email replies.
5. “Sign the Deal” Shoulder Rolls (1 minute)
Relieves tension from texting and contracts
Roll shoulders forward and back slowly to release tight muscles.
Tips to Make It Stick
Start your day with one move. It helps boost mood and energy before your first showing.
Pair it with your tasks. Waiting for a client? Do squats. On hold? Stretch.
Keep sneakers in your car. Comfort = consistency.
Hydrate and snack smart. A protein bar in your bag can make a huge difference.
Final Word
You take care of your listings, your clients, and your closings; now it’s time to take care of you. Adding a few intentional moves to your day keeps your energy high, posture strong, and stress low; no matter how packed your schedule is.
So the next time you walk through a house, don’t just check the layout; sneak in a few lunges too.
Because fit agents close stronger.
