Circuit Training
May 7, 11:50 a.m. to 12:35 p.m.

Description:
Circuit training is a fast-paced workout method that involves performing a series of exercises (usually 5–10) consecutively with minimal or no rest in between. One "circuit" is completed when all exercises are done; this is repeated multiple times, targeting both cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance. Join us for this great workout that gets it all done in 45 minutes! AND, continues to burn fat for up to 24 hours afterwards!
Yoga at the LCSO
May 8, 3 to 4 p.m.

Description:
Flexibility, Mobility, and Balance are key components to physical well-being. This Yoga class is more of a gentle stretching class and will improve all those areas. The instructor offers lots of modifications if you are just starting, so no reason to be afraid to try it. It is a great way to teach your mind and body to connect better and to relax and destress. We hope you will join us for some classes this year!

Nutrition, Intermittent Fasting and GLP-1's!
May 27, 12 to 1 p.m.

Description:
Dr. Michael Ormsbee did such a great job of our Lifespan vs. Healthspan, LnL, in January, that several of you requested he come back to talk about Nutrition, Intermittent Fasting, and GLP-1's. So, he will be presenting a LnL on those topics on Wednesday, May 27th. We will be at the ORS Gathering Room this time, so register early to be sure you have a seat! If you need a vegetarian option, be sure to email Mary Barley at barleym@leoncountyfl.gov.
Pilates
May 28, 12 to 12:45 p.m.

Description:
Don't want to sweat? But like a little burn in your muscles to know your efforts are working? Then this is the class for you! Pilates focuses on the glutes, legs, and core! Who doesn't want to improve those areas? The instructor is great and will show various ways to do the movements so you won't hurt yourself or get discouraged.

Annual Events

Live Well Leon offers an annual Walking Challenge that also includes additional challenges within the Challenge to improve various areas of well-being, such as eating more fruits and veggies, getting more sleep, drinking more water, etc. Live Well Leon provides fitness watches to anyone that doesn’t have a fitness tracker to monitor their steps. Prizes are awarded by drawing the names of teams who have completed the Challenge, as well as those who started the Challenge but couldn’t finish it. (Life does get in the way of our intentions sometimes but making an effort counts!)

Each fall, the non-profit, Working Well, whose mission is to help improve the well-being of our community’s workforce, hosts their annual Corporate Cup Challenge. This Challenge encourages teams from local business and government organizations to get outside, do some team building and have fun! Teams of four compete, with one team member biking, one running, one paddling and one doing strength and endurance exercises. Only one team can take the coveted Corporate Cup back to their office for the year, but plaques are also awarded for the All Male, All Female and Co-Ed teams and the best individual efforts in each leg. Plus, there is a Spirit Trophy given to the organization that brings the most co-workers, family and friends to cheer their teams on. Live Well Leon is always looking for teams to participate in this fun event!

Each November, Leon County holds its Annual Awards Breakfast. Live Well Leon created the Well-Being Awards to honor the Leon County employee who has made the most improvement in each of the four areas of well-being our program focuses on. Employees can apply themselves or be nominated. The winners include:

The Lego Award for Community Well-Being
The Ladder Award for Career Well-Being
The Champion Award for Physical Well-Being
The Butterfly Award for Social Well-Being

The annual Live Well Leon Souper Bowl Cookoff started in 2013. The week before the annual Sunday Super Bowl, employees sign up to bring either a soup, stew, bisque or chili for the Cookoff. The employees rank all entrees and then a panel of three “celebrity” judges, decide which of the top five ranks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! The judging was so archaic to begin with, that in year five, Mark Early, the Supervisor of Elections, who was a judge, offered for his office to create a special ballot just for the judging and even had a couple of his employees bring an official voting machine the day of the event for us to enter our ballots. The top three winners get a $75/$50/$25 gift card.
