Of all the efforts a person can make to improve their
health, exercise has the most benefits. It helps increase
blood circulation, improve lung capacity, regulate blood
sugar, strengthen muscles, and more. But people need
encouragement to get started and employees are no different.
Improved employee health can benefit employers, too, because
healthy employees generally take fewer sick days.
HMSA’s health education classes are available at no cost to
HMSA members and are available on evenings and weekends. Or,
they can be taught at the worksite for a fee. Body Power is
a great class for employees who haven’t exercised in a while.
Encourage your employees to take advantage of their HMSA
benefits and sign up for Body Power.
In three sessions, they’ll learn:
- Skills in strengthening, aerobics and stretching.
- How to exercise safely.
- How to stay on track.
Each two-hour class also provides lifestyle information and
learning through group activities.
