Take a Snack Break....for your Body!
We often think of snack breaks as something we eat for a quick energy boost-but what if we gave our bodies a movement snack instead?
Short bursts of "exercise snacks" are proven to boost circulation, improve focus, and help manage stress throughout the day. That's exactly what our 10-Minute Stretch Breaks are for. Join us from home or from your desk for a 10-minute stretch & move break every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:00pm CST via Teams - your body and brain will thank you.
Team Builder Opportunities
Shared movement builds trust, boosts morale, strengthens collaboration, and supports sustainable performance by creating healthier, more energized teams.
If your department is interested in scheduling a wellness team builder, reach outโweโd love to create something meaningful for your group.
Stay Successful with Group Fitness Classes
Stepping into a group fitness class for the very first time can feel intimidating, and our Group Fitness team is here to help! Here are a few tips to get started safely:
- Wear the Right Gear: Dress comfortably in clothes that allow you to move freely. We suggest wearing comfortable workout attire that allows for free total body movement. Shoes are optional in some classes and sneakers are recommended in others.
- Stay Hydrated: Hydrating your body can help you move more efficiently, so please be sure to drink water before, during, and after each class to stay hydrated and energized.
- Mind Your Alignment: Proper alignment is crucial to avoiding injury. Listen closely to your instructorโs cues.
- Listen to Your Body: Some exercises may feel challenging, but nothing should feel painful. If something hurts, adjust your range of motion or take a break.
- Start with Light Weights: If you're new to a move, focus on form, and increase the weight as you gain confidence and understanding of the class format.
- Take Breaks: Try not to rush through exercises (even the ones that are very challenging!) Move slowly and deliberately, especially with heavier weights, and take breaks when needed.
- Ask Questions: If youโre unsure about a movement, donโt be afraid to ask your instructor for help. All our teachers love helping beginners find their confidence. Never forget, even the most seasoned teachers were once beginners themselves.
