SL Controls have linked up with the Irish Heart Foundation to run an employee Step Challenge. The Challenge will run for four weeks from 11 July to 8 August as part of the Live Well at SL programme.<\/p>\n
SL Controls employees from across the company are participating by increasing their daily steps. During the Challenge, the aim is to reach at least 10,000 steps a day whether that is at work, at home, or at leisure.<\/p>\n
To reduce the risk of getting heart disease and stroke, the Irish Heart Foundation recommends being active for at least 30 minutes at a moderate intensity five days a week.<\/p>\n
We have 56 employees taking part in the challenge and have split them into eight teams. We have also given each participant a pedometer to record their steps.<\/p>\n
The team names include Scrambled Legs, One Step Beyond, Step L Controls, and Stepimental.<\/p>\n
If employees take part in daily activities such as jogging, dancing, swimming, or other sport, they can convert this activity into steps.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just for fun, but we hope it will increase fitness levels and create healthy competition between all SL employees.<\/p>\n
The team with the most steps after the four weeks of the Challenge will be declared the winner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
