Healthstyles Couch to 5K training program begins
Have you ever wanted to run a 5K but didn't know where and how to start? Healthstyles has a program for you! New for this year, Healthstyles is offering a Couch to 5K training program with a marathon runner from Maria Marino's Fitness to lead the training sessions. This program will help employees prepare to run the Run the Plank 5K in Macomb Township on Saturday, June 27. Cost and training dates will be available shortly. The first group training date is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 13 at the VerKulien Building.
Celebrate National Fitness Day with co-workers (click here for the flyer)
Also on May 13, Healthstyles will host a National Fitness Day Walk Around the Block event for Macomb County employees. There are two different locations where employees can participate in this event, both of which take place at noon. Employees can meet at the Macomb County Circuit Court riverside steps or at the Nicholson Nature Center (enter from the Public Works parking lot). Attendees can enjoy a scenic walk with coworkers. There will be a warm up with a fitness instructor from Maria Marino’s Fitness. All participating employees will receive bottled water and healthy snacks.
Save the Date: Annual Employee Health Fair on Wednesday, Aug. 5
This year, we have secured a new, closer location for employees to visit the Health Fair. We will be located at the Macomb County Police and Fire Training Center, which is adjacent to the VerKulien Building on Dunham Road. The Health Fair will begin at 11 a.m. and will have giveaways, health screenings, more than 20 local health and wellness vendors, and health food samples and snacks!
