Yoga at the LCSO
August 13, 3 to 4 p.m.

Description:
Come work the kinks out of those tight muscles with a gentle stretching Yoga class. Only do what feels comfortable to you. You will leave feeling relaxed and de-stressed. What could be better than that? If you don't have a mat, we will provide you with one. Just bring water and a desire to chill out for an hour.

Creativity Club Practice/Social Time
August 21, 12 to 1 p.m.

Description:
This month the Creativity Club will meet for "social time", while working on whatever you are interested in or are currently working on. Whether it is painting, drawing, embroidering, knitting, crocheting, or anything else you may be working on at this time, bring your supplies with you and do it among your co-workers. If you don't have anything you are working on, Shelley Cason, who has been crocheting for years, will bring extra needles and yarn and show us how to crochet a cute little animal. And Christine Earp, who seems to be able to do ANYTHING creative, will also be there to help/advise you with your projects if needed. This will be a great time to leisurely get to know your co-workers while relaxing and doing something you enjoy. So, we hope you will join us!
Pilates
August 27, 12 to 12:45 p.m.

Description:
This low-impact exercise is famous for targeting the core, but its effects go far beyond abs. A strong core improves posture, reduces back pain, and enhances performance in other physical activities. The controlled stretching and lengthening increases flexibility and joint mobility--ideal for aging gracefully and avoiding stiffness or injury. That's a lot of benefits to pack into a 45-minute workout! Try it and see why it is such a popular class!

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.
