Pilates
Today, 12 to 12:45 p.m.

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.
Blood Drive
July 13, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Description:
Please consider supporting your community by donating blood at the July 13 Blood Drive. Summers are always slow for donations, so every pint is appreciated. The Big Red Bus will be parked at the Ausley Law Firm, 123 South Calhoun St., 32301, just a block from the Courthouse. Donors will receive a $20 eGift Card for Target, Walmart, or Amazon, a Big Red Bus T-shirt, and a Wellness Checkup. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are always welcome. Please scan the QR code on the attached flyer or visit oneblood.org/donate-now and use sponsor code 18209 to register. Your ID will be required.
Yoga at the LCSO
July 14, 3 to 4 p.m.

Description:
Take time to destress, relax and stretch your muscles by joining us for our two Yoga classes a month. You mind and body will thank you! :)
The Basics of Smartphone Photography.
July 15, 12 to 1 p.m.

Description:
The Creativity Club will hold its first session on the basics of smartphone photography on July 15. *******This session will be held in Meeting Room A on the second floor of the Library. The room can only hold 30 people, so registration is capped at that number Therefore, if you want to guarantee you will have a seat for this session, sign up asap. This program will include foundational instructions, such as working with a grid, composition, making the most of natural light, and filters. Bring your smartphone and your questions about photography, and join us in practicing this accessible and instant form of storytelling so you can improve your picture-taking skills! We will not be serving lunch at the Creativity Club sessions, since you will be busy using your hands to learn/practice skills, and there won't be room for food and supplies/equipment. But if you need to eat at that time, please bring your lunch with you.
Yoga
July 16, 12 to 1 p.m.

Description:
We will be on the 8th floor of the LCG Annex building again this month. It is so convenient for everyone at the Courthouse and Annex building. So, if you haven't tried Yoga yet, this would be a great time to do it. It is more like a gentle stretch class, and everyone modifies the stretches as needed based on their injuries or physical limitations. So, there is no reason to feel intimidated or embarrassed. Just leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and renewed! :)

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.
