It has been clinically proven that exercise improves your physical and mental outlook. The more we can do to improve our overall health the better off we all are, and the better off Alamon is.
As an ESOP company, we want to see everyone thrive and reach their full potential, and being in good health is a great foundation for achieving professional success. Good employee health is also great for the ESOP. We are a self-insured business when it comes to our medical plan, so being a healthy company is of great financial benefit to all of us.
Generally, our objective is to get everyone to move more each day. Understanding that each department has jobs that require different amounts of daily physical activity (see the video), all of us can benefit from daily exercise.
From October 2nd through December 4th, contestants agree to complete some form of additional exercise for at least 20 minutes each day beyond their normal activity. This could be walking, biking, lifting weights, doing push-ups, etc. We just want to get people moving.
No missed days allowed, and no making up the activity later in the week. The 20 minutes of additional daily activity will be recorded by each participant and reported honestly each week.
You can be a contestant by yourself, or join with your coworkers, support one another and form a team.
People that complete the contest (and exercise every day) will be able to pick a prize from several options on Snappy. Those that don’t complete the challenge but give significant effort will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card, so keep entering your information even if you miss a day.
Alamon field crews remind you to get your extra exercise each day.
Alamon encourages you to Step Up! this fall and winter, and win prizes for your efforts.
