WOW Tip of the Week: Why is it good to work out at work?

FirstLight wants employees to stay healthy and succeed on the job.  Consider working out at work!

Here are the benefits of working out at work:tennis shoes, male

  • boosts energy
  • improves job performance
  • creates workplace happiness
  • boosts brain power
  • stimulates creativity
  • and some studies even show that those who exercise regularly earn 6-10% more than their sedentary counterparts!

So when you are feeling a little low on energy or are having trouble focusing…use your break or lunch to check out the employee gym or head outside for a brisk walk.

Music in the Park

By /

We will be at Music in the Park tomorrow Thursday, July 21st at 6:30pm serving lemonade in these cool color-changing cups!  (Don’t worry, it doesn’t change your beverage color; just the cup changes color.)

Music in the park is at the Mora Library Park, on Wood St. and Maple Ave.

 f

I think we already have enough employees volunteering for this event but we might be able to use extra hands-1-2 more people- to help serve.  We will be serving from 6:30-about 7:15ish.  Let me know if interested.  Or just come on out and listen to some Bluegrass music and enjoy the evening!
