Do you know where the Building Stairs are?
August 21st, 2008 
I bet you are thinking this is just another message about the DNC and Safety…
The new Indigio/Bridgeline stair challenge will be starting soon- please let me know if you are interested.
I found this on our new Cigna site for Health-
There are many other ways to fit activity into your day. Try some of the following – if you have a family, numbers 9-13 may be more applicable.
1. Instead of taking the elevator or standing on escalators, walk up and down the stairs.
2. Take a break and walk around the office every hour. This will also help improve stress levels and concentration.
3. Go for a 10-20 minute brisk walk at lunchtime.
4. Try a different restaurant at lunch that is further away or take a route that you know.
5. On the way to and from work, try to get off the train or bus a stop before your normal one so you have to walk further. Or walk to and from the station and home instead of driving or getting a ride.
6. Cycle to work. Make sure you have a road-worthy bike, a helmet, reflective and bright clothing, and know the way!
7. Maximize your free time at the weekends taking long brisk walks, cycling, jogging, or going swimming. The greater the pace, the greater the number of points!
8. Consider getting up half an hour earlier and exercising before work.
9. Exercise at lunchtime.
10. If you have small children and like to run, buy a baby jogger.
11. Turn off the TV and play with the kids.
12. Go swimming with your children, making sure you swim some lengths.
13. Plan family outings such as walking in a park, or skating at an ice rink.
14. If you take your kids to play football or cub scouts or brownies, go for a jog/walk while you wait for them.
