Business Smarts·Wellness & Prevention: One of Your Daily Job Duties

Many people, especially those working in office situations, know they need to exercise and take care of themselves. Yet the demands of work and life often leave little time or desire to carve out a separate exercise and workout segment in the day. Understanding more about the body as a movement system can help bring perspective, information, and strategies that can be incorporated into daily activity. Attendees will learn more about the body, movement, position and posture, activity, and putting these to use in working for you all day, regardless of duties or roles. There will also be opportunity for exploring the many “health care” products and recommendations that bombard us and have an open discussion about their value and role.
