The winning department is the Sewer Department… : )
They had a total of 1,006,670.00 steps and averaged 14,381.00 steps per day.
The employees how had the most step average steps are Gary and Dave (you will be given your prize as soon as it arrives).
If you are disappointed with the amount of steps you get during the day there are some things that you can do.
1. Your body needs movement, next week is the ergonomic challenge but you start practice this week.
2. Start by setting a timer to go off every hour (most cell phones have a timer you can set up) to help you remember to get up and move.
3. This will not only give your eyes a break from the “blue screen” of your computer but also give your body a chance to move.
4. This is also important to those who do physical labor work – your body needs a break.
5. See what you can do in five minutes
6. Jumping jacks
7. Standing crunches
8. Walking in place
9. Running in place
10. Stretches
11. Get a pair of hand weights and do some curls and other exercises
12. How fast can you walk around the office building?
13. Try to get between 500 to 1000 per hour (this can be all in the five minutes)
14. If you are embarrassed doing these things at your desk you can always use the restroom…. : )
You will notice a difference in the way you feel, mentally and physically. Plus, you will be surprised how your productivity will increase.
Take care….
