or adjust the environment to help people be more active.

Launch event
Holding a physical activity launch event is an excellent way to
promote new and existing initiatives at work.
It is also a good way to meet people from across the
organisation and get their feedback and ideas for future
activities.

activity launch event in your workplace
Walking
Walking is good for the body and mind. You can walk at any time
and anywhere. Why not encourage colleagues to walk more before,
during and after work, as a free and easy way of building physical
activity into their daily routine?

Cycling
Cycling helps people to feel healthier and fitter and can help
to relieve stress too. Those who cycle to work often arrive feeling
more alert and find that they're better able to leave their work
behind at the end of the day.
Cycling can also save time and money in getting to work.

cycling in your workplace.
Activity classes
Activities such as yoga and dance are very popular in the
workplace. They often last for an hour or less and can easily be
organised to fit around the working day and be delivered on site or
in a facility nearby.
Some people may prefer to have access to a leisure centre near
by, so that they are free to use the facilities at a time that's
convenient for them.

classes in your workplace.
Sports and games
Sports and games can create a real buzz. They are sociable, fun
and a great way to meet colleagues from other departments. The
level at which people participate is not important. It is the
involvement that counts.

games in your workplace.
