be active at work

Half our waking hours are spent at work and many jobs involve long periods of being inactive such as sitting. 

Employees engaged in physical activity at work have reported greater enjoyment of their work, increased concentration and mental alertness and improved co-operation with colleagues.

This section of our website provides you with a step by step guide to setting up your own workplace health programme.  There are plenty of ideas to get you started, for example, take part in the stair climb 'three peaks challenge' - which department can climb to the top of snowdon the quickest?, challenge your colleagues to a 4 week pedometer challenge - who can take the most steps?, why not start a lunchtime yoga class or a lunchtime walk with colleagues.

There are lots of options available to you. Visit this section in a few days time for more details.
