Old School Wellness

BEAT THE BOSS!

I am fortunate to have the best team at working together in generating ideas that apply to a broad range of people. Our Beat the Boss challenge epitomizes our wellness teams' value.

In the challenge, 14 teams made up of 5 employees each will be scored on a physical pre test next week, aim to improve their scores over the Holiday season, then be scored again (post test) in the first week in January. The amount of IMPROVEMENT between the two scores per individual will determine how many points each team is awarded.

Additionally, there is a restaurant and recipe assignment that each team must turn in for a grade. In this assignment the teams will need to answer questions about calories, nutrient density, menu items, and healthy food choices of a restaurant which they have been assigned. Furthermore, each team will research a recipe and develop a healthier version of the recipe and submit the finished product for a score.

Finally, team members may be awarded extra points for quitting tobacco for the duration of the challenge or reaching their goal weight which they had previously been unsuccessful in attaining.

Each team that beats the boss team will be awarded 1 day off with pay.

Old School Wellness is different because we are wellness with accountability; not a gym membership, not a handout of cash to buy an exercise clothes hanger (equipment) for your home, and not a computerized robo-machine that tracks your progress by counting steps.

We are the real deal with degreed, certified exercise and nutrition professionals that work with you in achieving your goals through the modification of the exercise and nutrition habits of your daily lifestyle.
