December Forum- Moving Beyond the “Should”

Brittany Todd, Fluorescent Fitness

With the growing mainstream promotion of fitness and physical activity, both employers and employees have gained a more comprehensive understanding of the importance of physical activity to enhance both personal and professional performance outcomes. With this enhanced understanding came a great deal of, “Shoulds.”

For employers, the “Should” includes: “We should be offering our employees more opportunities to get physically active.”

From individual employees, the “Should” resounds: “I should make physical activity more of a priority during my day.”

However, the major question for both employers and employees is: How do we move beyond the should, and actually start implementing these ideals?
