Remember in elementary school we had recess twice a day – to
go outdoors, run around, get some fresh air and exercise our bodies for 15 or
20 minutes? Seems to me all these years
later that we should have continued having recess throughout our educational
and work years. Remember The 4 ‘R’s: reading, ‘riting, ‘rithmatic and recess!
The world celebrates “Global Employee Health and Fitness
Month” each May.
What is Global
Employee Health & Fitness Month?
Created by the National Association for Health & Fitness
(NAHF) and ACTIVE Life, Global Employee Health & Fitness Month (GEHFM) is a
national and international invitation to workplace wellness. The goal of GEHFM
is to promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to employers and their
employees through worksite health promotion activities and environments. GEHMF
is held during the month of May every year. Throughout GEHFM employers will
challenge their employees to create Healthy Moments, form Healthy Groups, and
develop a Culminating Project. Participants will be able to log these
activities on the GEHFM website throughout the month, allowing employers and
employees to track, share, and promote their individual and group activities.

It is my belief that our work
place needs to take a proactive, leadership role in encouraging all employees
to participate regular health and fitness programs.
