Take 10 for health
Don’t have time to exercise? Don’t sweat it. Ten minutes of stretching, along with cardiovascular and strength exercises, can do the trick.
Studies show that a healthy diet combined with a short exercise routine can have a positive impact on our overall health.
At Amway, we encourage employees to be physically active throughout the day to achieve their own Optimal Health. In our California and Michigan facilities, for example, Amway offers the “Take 10” exercise program, a routine modified from the breakthrough 4321 program developed by Sean Foy, a lead fitness consultant for the Nutrilite Health Institute.
The program is simple. For 10 minutes, an employee volunteer leads a non-sweat exercise routine that helps with flexibility, coordination, strength, rejuvenation and counter-repetitive motions. Exercises include overhead reach, chin drops, shoulder rolls, elbow butterfly and chair squats.
It only takes a short time to make a long-term investment in feeling better and living longer.
