Let’s Be Active At Work!

Whether at the desk, driving, or in meetings, many employees sit for long periods of time. Frequent momements of movement throughout the day can help combat “sitter’s disease” and lead to happier and more productive employees.

The Sit for 60-Move for 3 program reminds employees to get up and get moving and encourages them to increase their activity level throughout the day. The average US worker spends about 50 hours per week on the job, so employers who support physical movement throughout the day can have a major impact on employee health.

Let’s Make a Healthy Turn Around

With the help of Measure Up Marion’s Worksite Wellness Team, the City of Belleview implemented an active workplace initiative and My Healthy Turnaround, a CDC-approved diabetes prevention program. Employee Angilia Pittsley enrolled in the program and encouraged her husband to make healthy behavior changes too. Together they lost almost 80 pounds and are reaping the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

Angilia shared, “My husband and I changed our eating habits together. Our doctor is amazed at the weight we both have lost and the changes we have made. We are both grateful my employer provided this opportunity!”

It’s leaders like Belleview Mayor Christine Dobkowski and the other worksite CEOs partnering with Measure Up Marion that will make stories like Angilia’s a common occurance. Let’s All Choose Healthy!
