  • Circuit Training
    Description:
    The holiday season is here and for many of us it includes overeating, moving less and stressing more. This Circuit class is an opportunity for you to give yourself an hour over your lunch break, to move more, burn extra calories and reduce your stress. Circuit training includes cardiovascular and strength/endurance training, ending with some stretching, which we all need. Take advantage of these free classes the County offers us to help you make it to the beginning of the year, without those extra pounds and burnout from stress! Our wellness policy says each person gets an hour a month to attend a County sponsored event. Lunchtime is your time, and if you have additional driving time, it can go against that hour a month you get for wellness activities. Do it! You won't regret it!
  • Yoga at the LCSO
    Description:
    Whether we enjoy the holidays and being with family , or not, I think we can all agree that our stress levels are higher during this time. Take a lunch hour and attend our Yoga class. It is really more of a gentle stretching class. So it will help relieve some of that extra tension and stress you may be carrying. And it is always nice to meet co-workers from other areas of the County. If you don't have a mat, just email Mary Barley at barelym@leoncountyfl.gov and she will bring you one.

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.
