Extreme Makeover: HR Edition: Strategies for Increasing Physical Activity in the Workplace

Today’s environment makes it extremely easy to neglect physical activity, an essential element of maintaining good health, warding off chronic disease, and achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Labor-saving technology, long commutes by car or bus, and hours spent on the computer for both work and play drain us of our energy and make it even harder to fit time in our busy schedules to get up and move.

In “Extreme Makeover: HR Edition: Strategies for Increasing Physical Activity in the Workplace,” Beth Shepard, clinical exercise physiologist, health educator, wellness coach, and strategic partner in the development of Free & Clear’s Mind & Body Program, shares best practices for revamping your worksite’s environment to reduce sedentary behavior and to encourage employees to take the initiative to become the healthiest they can be.
