La
Baguette du Jour and
LIFE gym have joined forces to emphasise
the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle to people
living and working in Swansea.
Kicking off during Health
Challenge Wales’s Healthy Living Week (19th to 26th September),
people working in the Swansea Enterprise Park and the City
Centre will benefit from a free ‘MOT’ health check by experienced
trainers from LIFE.
The ‘MOT’ will include:
• A blood pressure check
• Lung function
• Weight and BMI checks
• Plus a FREE day pass to the club with the option of entering
into a prize draw to win a 12 month membership to LIFE.
Participants
will also get the chance to taste a healthy snack from La
Baguette du Jour's ‘Light Weights Range’ which has
been tested and approved by nutritionists. Health Challenge
Wales is about better health and well-being information and
activity. Not only can individuals benefit from adopting
a healthier life style, but businesses too can reap the rewards
through improved productivity and reduced sickness absence
levels.
La Baguette du Jour and LIFE are embracing this ethos through their joint healthy living
partnership which aims to:
• help people make healthy lifestyle
choices
• show how organisations can work together to improve
health and well being
• focus on ways of preventing ill health.
The free ‘MOT’ health checks
and healthy snacks will be on offer from 9 am to 5 pm at
LIFE gym, Phoenix Way, Swansea Enterprise Park on Monday,
21st September and at La Baguette du Jour, 9 Caer Street,
Castle Square on Thursday, 24th September 2009.
Businesses
wishing to encourage employees to participate should register
via the LIFE website or here at
our website.
It is recommended
that businesses send employees in groups of no more than
five people. Each individual MOT will take no longer than
5-10 minutes. Please download and return the form indicating
how many groups of people you would like to attend. We will
then allocate you a time slot on a first come first serve
basis.
