How about a little Kaizen for the small businesses and the employees that need it most.

Submitted by Liz Weaver on Wed, 2011-07-06 13:50

We've talked about Kaizen at break Pal before. This article shows that smaller companies often struggle to offer health and fitness programs to their employees. It also states that in large companies people who are already inclined to exercise are the ones taking advantage of in house health clubs.

With Break pal any company, big or small, can afford to offer a wellness program to employees of all fitness levels.

Let's hear from our users. What size company do you work for?

Corporate wellness: Non-Compliance Can Get You Sacked

Submitted by Phil Weaver on Mon, 2011-05-23 18:54

Health and productivity of employees at the workplace are closely intertwined, so it’s small wonder that companies are becoming more aggressive in ensuring that workers are in excellent physical condition. While some may dismiss corporate wellness programs as an encroachment on privacy, business leaders are unlikely to change their mind; after all, they have been hard pressed to find a solution to the rising costs of insurance premiums and health care.

Nasal breathing exercise

I've had some requests for more information on the Nasal breathing exercise. In simple terms it is used to restore balance. My yoga instructor taught me to do it before beginning the Sun Salutation exercise. Done by itself it helps me relax and re-focus.

Lunar new Year

Submitted by Liz Weaver on Tue, 2011-02-08 12:19

The Chinese Lunar New Year was Feb 3rd this year. I consider this my New Year. Every calendar new year I get poison oak,I can't work out and I struggle with sleep due to the medication. So when the lunar New Year rolls around I'm really ready to start a new year.

My poison oak has healed and I'm working to restore my sleep patterns. Today will be my first work out in a while. I know it will feel good today then hurt like crazy in two days. Such is life.

It looks like I'm not the only one feeling motivated. We have quite a few new members and a lot of returning ones as well.

We're Now Part of the First Lady's Apps for Healthy Kids

When people use the phrase "We're really excited to announce" as an opening line of a press release, blog post, etc. it's kind of one of my pet peeves. To me it kind of says "Hey listen while I talk about myself and how wonderful I am. There will be nothing in it for you. Just me talking about me". It's a very non-original opening and totally over used.

But you know what? Oh well.

WE"RE VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE!!!
