Get Fit! Be the Spark!

Alright, it’s that time of year again to get fit!  Spring has sprung and I know I have gained a few pounds over the winter and I’m not as fit as I once was…  As an EHS Professional I feel it is important to lead by example when it comes to health and wellness, so I need to get moving!

How can one lead by example?

Here is an idea to help get your office fit and keep people motivated.  SparkPeople.com – Here is their mission – “Our mission is to SPARK millions of PEOPLE to reach their goals and lead healthier lives. 100% FREE tools, resources & support!” I’m always intrigued by a free resource that I can use to change my workplace, and SparkPeople.com fits the bill. Here is what they offer -

  • Personalized diet & fitness plans
  • Calorie counter, workout tracker, exercise demos & videos
  • Answers from our dietitians & trainers on message boards
  • Connect with others like you in our support team
  • SparkPoints motivation program
  • Articles, recipes, tips, and much more!

Lots of workplaces have weight loss competitions or do Weight Watchers; with SparkPeople.com you can form a group and join the 398 companies that are already using this free service.   Click here for the companies who already use SparkPeople.com

What do you have to lose, it’s free and you can be the H in EHS at your workplace!

    It is a great idea to lead by example and more so to encourage companies to support staff in weight loss goals. Thanks for the link to sparkpeople.
