I ended up doing a corporate wellness program through work. This was helpful because I work with big machinery and heavy inventory on a daily basis. The guys working in the warehouse kept getting injured. It is a very physical job. Most of the crew was overweight, out of shape and had no flexibility or balance. Quite a few of the guys fell on the job. Sometimes they’d pick up too much weight and strain their backs. There were lots of pulled muscles on the job. The company I work for hired a personal training center. Everyone from the warehouse now participates in a group fitness training class. The whole reason behind the class is to learn how to properly lift weight and can carry it without injuring yourself. Our personal trainer focuses a great deal on balance. We practice falling and catching our own weight. A lot of the bigger guys have gotten better at getting down and up off the floor easier. Obviously, we complete exercises that are meant to tone and get rid of extra fat. A lot of the guys really need to lose a few pounds. Slimming down to a healthy weight would certainly help them on the job. At first, I thought the corporate wellness program was a waste of time. How would a bunch of fat guys benefit from it? The personal trainer is wonderful at motivating everyone. The whole crew has never felt better. There is less injury on job now. Also, I know that a few of the guys are taking personal training classes on the side to shed even more weight. It has turned into a competition on who can have the best results.
