ALL STAFF:
We want YOU to participate in the
Run@Work Day! September 19th
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) estimates that 64 percent of adults in the United States are either overweight (33 percent) or obese (31 percent), meaning they have excess weight of 30 pounds or
more. The goal of RUN@WORK Day is to encourage adults
to get 30 minutes of exercise each day, either before work, during lunch, or immediately after work in accordance with the federal government’s Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. So how can you participate in RUN@WORK Day? Simply make time to run or walk for 30 minutes on September 19, 2014, and bring a coworker with you. We want you to submit your pictures of Run@Work Day so we can feature them in our October edition of the Newsletter! Submit pics to [email protected] The health teachers will start the run/walk at 2:30. If you would like to join us, meet in front of the main gym at 2:30 on Friday, September 19th! Dress appropriately­­if not raining, we will be outdoors.
