It is often difficult for many types of employees, depending on the
nature of their work, to stay physically active during their workday.
Workout in a Bag™ is a customized exercise program created by
HealthForce specifically for these workers. Since employees in
certain jobs and industries often tend to be sedentary, the first
objective of Workout in a Bag is to increase their awareness and
understanding of basic strengthening exercises, including the
important benefits of such activities.
Workout in a Bag gives your employees the information, motivation and resources they need
to stay active and improve their health. Based on a thorough, on-site analysis of the tasks
and functions of the designated job types for your organization, HealthForce workplace health
and wellness experts can design a stretching and strengthening program specifically for your
employees.
The program gives employees some simple exercises they can perform during their breaks, at
other convenient times during the workday, or even at home. Each bag typically contains an
illustrated booklet of sample exercises and stretches customized for the identified employee
population. These workouts have been shown to significantly reduce the likelihood of soft-tissue
injuries among workers. Each bag also includes stretchable exercise bands of varying
levels of resistance.
