Fantastic & Fit

Staff Enjoy 2005 Summer Fitness Program


Special Tree staff have once again teamed up for fitness. The 2005 Fantastic & Fit program kicked off in May, with participants joining together to support one another with their individual fitness goals. Thirteen teams involving 78 staff from all parts of the company are participating.
The Exercise and Nutrtion program is coordinated by the Human Resources, Learning System and Nutrition staff.

Staff become part of teams which set weekly personal exercise and nutrition goals. The types and duration of the exercise is determined by each individual. All participants received a Special Tree pedometer to help them track their exercise program and monitor how they are doing towards the USDA guideline of 10,000 per day. Prizes will be awarded for participation and for reaching goals.

The program is running from May 29 through July 31, 2005. One major goal of the program is to promote healthy living among staff. Their participation will bring obvious health benefits but they will also increase their activity level, enjoy the warm summer weather, and get to know their coworkers in new ways. Participants will also receive information about healthy eating habits, the benefits of exercise, hydration, and more.
