Healthy Living Work Perks

My employer for the past couple of years has been promoting Healthy Living.  We have started a committee that meets once a month to come up with ideas that help employees make better, healthier lifestyle decisions.  We have started a weight watchers group, which was a huge success!  Started a personal training program, the trainer comer three times a week.  A yoga instructor who came for about six months, once a week. I am crossing my fingers she will come back! 

Some of the other great things they have done in the past is started a walking program, and provided all of the employees with pedometers to count their daily steps.  This year we are holding a Health Fair, where will bring in nurses that will test cholesterol levels, and other businesses that want to promote a healthier lifestyle.


We have also purchased these neat plastic water cups for all of the employees.  They are slightly different from the water bottles we normally see.  These basically look like a cup from a fast food restaurant with a straw.  But these are made from a harder plastic which makes them more durable, even the straw is made from the same hard plastic material.  They are mush easier to wash and I personally like having the straw.  Hey, if I can't have the coca-cola from the local fast food joint at least I can pretend that's what I am having!
