February is Heart Health Awareness Month! This is a great time to promote healthy lifestyle changes specific to maintaining a healthy heart. You can also be a cheerleader for anyone who has fallen off their New Year’s Resolution. Check out our video below for 5 activities to try at your office.
- Host a 20-minute walking club around your office or parking lot at lunchtime.
- Host an American Heart Month event at your office, local school, health center, or community center. Partner with local recreation and fitness centers to spread the word about the importance of physical activity to prevent heart disease.
- Conduct a cooking demonstration using a heart-healthy recipe.
- Contact your local Red Cross to host a CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training event for your employees. Encourage your team to learn CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator). These skills can help save the life of someone who has sudden cardiac arrest.
- Launch a one-time or recurring wellness-stipend for use towards gym memberships, weight-loss programs, fitness trackers, personal trainer services, home workout equipment, healthy meal services, smoking-cessation products, etc.Looking for help or more ideas to promote Heart Health month or healthy living year-round?
