Employee Wellness Newsletter : Growing a Company Exercise Team

Building a Employer Exercise Team From Nine-To-Five

People spend an abundance of time at work, and work environments are full of stress. Downsizing, mergers, increasing work requisites and extended hours take their toll on employee health.

It can be gauged in growing absenteeism and increasing health costs. It is time to reverse the trend. Building a business exercise team could be the perfect solution. Driving each other to start a physical activity program will reap big outcomes for the workers and the business.

Working Overtime

It is simple to find excuses to skip working out. One of them is always ‘not enough time’. But 2 walks for 15 minutes each has the same health benefit as 1 walk for 30 minutes. This fact makes building business exercise team programs simple.

Most corporations hire a fitness expert. The fitness expert can develop a plan the company can manage itself or let the fitness expert begin and monitor. Either way, there are lots of ways for employees to exercise during the day.

• Go on walks outside during breaks or lunch
• Frequent sponsored exercise classes at an in-house gym or a local gym before or after work
• Climb stairs instead of taking the elevators, quantifying the number of stairs each week
• Engage in stretching exercises every hour to remain refreshed and alert

But it works even better when teamwork is added to the mix. A business is as good as its employees. Every business operates on the concept of good teamwork to fulfill its mission and offer great customer service. What better way to begin that process than by building a business exercise team?

The rapport that is created among employees exercising together will carry over into the worksite itself. It is a well-known fact that group exercise promote cooperation and exercise provides the perfect common activity.

All humans need to exercise to maintain fitness. With a organization exercise program, the organization can convey its belief in team spirit, cooperative objectives and strategy development.

A local personal trainer can be hired to come onsite or the employer can hire a internet-based trainer. Either way, documenting the progress of each employee’s fitness level as they take part in the exercise group projects will encourage participation.
