Is your New Year’s resolution to exercise more (already) a distant memory?
Are you sitting away your life?
Exhausted most of the time?
Is the snooze button your friend?
This half-day session called Move it or Lose it is a must attend workshop for everyone who works in the seated position (are you seated now while reading this?). The latest science suggests too much sitting is hazardous to our health and may lead to premature death, no matter how much we exercise. This workshop focuses on practical solutions for incorporating movement in the workplace. Exercise is a key component of movement and workshop participants will learn the important role of flexibility, resistance and interval training in their overall wellbeing and managing energy levels. The workshop uses the integrated Self-Care Behaviour Change Model© to ensure participants leave the workshop highly motivated to achieve success, by addressing the following key areas:
• Clarifying values and life purpose
• Identifying and overcoming barriers to making lifestyle changes
• Meeting and managing the Saboteur who sabotages your life
• Acquiring new movement skills
Here's what other Dalhousie employees have said about attending Sean’s past workshops:
• The instructor was great. Spoke well and had high energy. Kept your interest throughout the course.
• I came away [from the workshop] feeling empowered to make changes.
• I think this was a wonderful workshop and I can't wait to apply some of what I learned.
Participants will leave the workshop with a customized 90-day plan designed to get more movement in their lives.
