We're ending week one of our Live Healthy 12 week challenge and I feel great (with the exception of being without electricity at home for the past two days due to an ice storm!). Getting up early and exercising makes for a much better day for me! Our challenge consists of tracking daily calories & water intake (gotta get those 64oz every day!), exercising and weighing in weekly with the hopes of losing a few pounds! We have a great team leader who has sent out numerous calorie counting sheets, healthy recipe ideas and even gives prizes - how great is that!  A lot of people focus on becoming healthier or losing weight at the start of a new year, some follow through but others lose momentum after a few weeks. Encouragement from others is often the key to success. Organizing an office wide health challenge is a great way to keep people involved and to boost company morale! Give a gift with sign up such as the 3 piece fitness set featured in our January newsletter or a fitness journal, sports bottle, pedometer, bag for workout clothes, etc. Your employee would love receiving a new gift and think about the exposure your name would be getting when they use them at the gym! These are also great handouts for fitness centers for new members or renewed memberships.  Provide people with the tools they need to succeed with their fitness goals and in turn you could also gain business success!
