Through the Wellness@Work initiative we are proud to be hosting our fourth annual Healthy Workplace Month at the University of Guelph. The Wellness@Work Programming Committee invites you to take part in some of the fun, free activities to help boost workplace wellness across our institution.
Join the GryphFit physical activity challenge during Healthy Workplace Month.
Complete 30 mins of physical activity per day from October 1st-30th, 2020.
The goal is to get outside for a regular walk or run, attend a virtual or in-person fitness class, lift weights or have a dance party! Just 30 mins of physical activity each day that makes your heart beat just a little bit faster.
As the nights start to get darker quicker and the weather gets colder, you may be looking for some new indoor virtual activities you can participate in. The Wellness@Work Programming Committee have compiled a few online resources you can check out to learn something new, explore unique places around the world, have some fun and/or connect with others.
Stay tuned for the complete list!
