Benefits of Departments Getting Involved
Incorporate more activity into your working life
This wellbeing initiative is a fantastic opportunity to incorporate a little more activity into your working life. Whether it’s been 10 minutes since your last physical activity or 10 years, getting active with friends and colleagues is always a brilliant way to increase your movement and inspire you to try something new to make positive lifestyle changes.
By making a pledge to increase your activity, not only will you get loads of great ideas, hints, tips, advice and resources to try a new sport or activity, but you’ll get the motivation and camaraderie that is so helpful when making exercise fun. Because if exercise is fun, then we’re much more likely to keep at it and form new habits and new goals to make that permanent step change in our behaviours. Helping you to make permanent positive changes to your habits and behaviours.
Why join colleagues for this Wellbeing initiative?
By increasing your movement, even by just a little bit, you’ll feel the benefits straight away. But much more than that. It could have long lasting effects on your physical and mental health. Being more active could help you to sleep better, reduce your stress and anxiety and improve your work/life balance. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day often helps people at work as well as at home. Their productivity goes up, their teamwork and cooperation improves and it reduces sickness and absence, not to mention it can improve the quality and quantity of life.
- Just 30 minutes of light to moderate exercise a day can improve your mood and increase energy levels.
- Regular exercise helps reduce anxiety, depression, stress and burnout and increases morale and productivity.
- Physical activity during your working day helps give you more energy, focus and optimism.
