Many work groups have tried the AMH Daily Stretch program over the last year, and several have made it a part of their daily routine at work.  Because of the site’s enthusiasm for the daily stretch, we recently added the new “HANFORD WORKFIT” program to our website.  The idea is to continue the stretch program and add strength & conditioning, and core & balance to your work group’s weekly routine.

 

This new program is a fun and energizing way to build morale, promote physical activity, and prevent injuries.  To help you get your work group started, we have implemented a WORKFIT Leader Training Class once a month at the HAMMER facility.  You can send one or more leaders from your workgroup to the training to learn how to implement and lead the WORKFIT program (Leaders are volunteers who are willing to teach the WORKFIT program to the rest of the group and help lead them through it daily).  Leader training will be held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30-9:30 am. Please RSVP to 376-3939.
