4/13/22-Spring Into Fitness – Lunges
Hello everyone! The weather is gorgeous, and the sun is shining bright! With Springtime upon us, it’s time to “Spring into Fitness!”
This week’s workout is to incorporate lunges into your day! Place your right foot in front and your left foot behind you. Bend your back knee and lower down to the ground without touching. Straighten the leg and return to starting position. Repeat for 8 repetitions on the right and left side.
You can hold onto an object such as a water bottle, stapler, book, or anything around the office and home to make the exercise more challenging.
Not matter your fitness level, we can grow and blossom along with the weather!

3/30/22-Hamstring Stretch
Dribble! Dunk! Swish! March Madness is upon us!
Although we can’t play basketball in the workplace, we can still stretch and take care of our bodies. This month’s WOWs will focus on “Mat Madness”, which is to promote stretching your back and hips. If you don’t have a place to lay down a yoga mat, each week will feature a chair alternative.
This week’s WOW is to stretch your hamstrings. You can perform this in a chair or seated on your mat. Hold on right and left for 30 seconds.
Small stretch breaks make a huge difference!
