Circuit Training
March 10, 12:05 to 12:50 p.m.

Description:
Want a good overall workout that includes cardio, muscular strength and endurance and mobility? Want your calorie burn to continue for 24 hours following the class? Then this oone is for you! No need to feel intimidated to try it. The instructor gives modifications for all levels of fitness and if you are just starting or working around an injury, you just go at your own pace. This class is held at Sweat Therapy right in the heart of mid-town, so it is pretty easy to access. And the BOCC has a wellness policy that says we get an hour a month of Admin leave to attend a County-sponsored well-being activity. So, you have plenty of travel time under that, and lunch-time is your time. :) Try it! Bet you will return!
Epilepsy and Seizure First Aid: What Everyone Should Know LnL
March 12, 12 to 1 p.m.

Description:
Would you know what to do if someone around you suddenly had a seizure? And what to expect afterwards? In this session, participants will learn practical, easy-to-follow steps for seizure first-aid so they can respond safely and confidently when a seizure occurs. The presentation equips attendees with the knowledge needed to recognize seizures, take appropriate action, and help create a more informed and supportive community for those living with epilepsy. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting 1 in 26 people, yet it remains widely misunderstood and burdened by stigma. This session provides a clear introduction to what epilepsy is, how it presents, and the most common types of seizures. Presented by: Gabriela Pineda, MPH, Health Educator and Outreach Manager, Epilepsy Agency of the Big Bend Bette Iacino, Executive Director, Epilepsy Agency of the Big Bend
Yoga at the LCSO
March 13, 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!

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. Start the New Year off by attending this class!
Getting Through Tough Financial Times
April 23, 12 to 1 p.m.

Description:
70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck right now. Inflation is high, and it is reflected in everything! The job market is tough and financial stress is at an all-time high. Our March LnL is here to help! Carol Neyland, who was in the banking business for 40+ years, will be talking about how to find money to save, even in tough times. Her sister, Jane Marks, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, will then talk about how to handle financial stress. Hopefully, you will leave this LnL with an idea or two about how to navigate these challenging times. Email Mary Barley at barelym@leoncountyfl.gov if you need a vegetarian option for lunch.

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.
