We like to keep you up to date with the latest research from the world of wellbeing so that you can share this with your colleagues or use it to help you design the most effective corporate wellness programme.
When it comes to exercise, there can be a
tendency for competitive, ambitious types to dive straight in, give it 100% and
get as much done as soon as they can.
There is a danger however that this approach can lead to injury and
frustration. When communicating your wellness messages, encourage staff to
think about the long-term plan for exercise and, for each session they take
part in, ensure they warm up properly.
Encourage them to spend a few minutes
gradually increasing the intensity of their activity. This will get their blood flowing, activate
muscle fibres and increase their range of motion ready for an effective and
injury free workout. It’ll also reduce
the likelihood of any absenteeism or loss of productivity due to aches, pains
and strains.
