UA 糖心视频logo holds summer fitness challenge]]> Running June 12 to July 23, the SummerTime Fitness Challenge helps employees integrate exercise into their daily lives by having employees track the number of minutes they exercise. Activities like going for a lunch-hour walk, taking a group exercise class, or participating in swimming, running, cycling, or strength training are examples of the 鈥渟tructured and planned鈥� exercise sessions encouraged by this program. The activities have a variety of health benefits. 鈥淧hysically fit individuals have more energy and have a lower risk of developing life-limiting diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, and chronic low-back pain,鈥� Employee Wellness Coordinator Karl Lenser said. Participants will keep a log of the time they spend exercising. Every Monday, participants will enter this amount into an online document. Prizes will be awarded on a weekly basis to participants who accumulate a minimum of 200 minutes of exercise per week. Fill out this to register for the fitness challenge. The first 75 UA 糖心视频logo employees who sign up will receive a free T-shirt. Marie Sandusky (left), director of health services, works out with Karl Lenser (right), employee wellness coordinator.
