Goals and Vision Boarding

What makes me happy? Where do I see myself in a month, a year? How do I want to look and feel? What is success to me?

These are just a few questions that are asked in our AIM High 2011 Workshop. The workshop is a great way to kick-off the New Year, increase employee morale and a great team-building tool.

This interactive workshop uses several techniques to help you define your goals for the new year and beyond. Tools include vision boards, 101 goals generator, SMART Goals, wheel of balance and more.

Time for Resolutions

First, a look at some ridiculous exercises for the office!

The Holidays are behind us and it's time to jump into 2011 with our New Year's Resolutions.

The Back Rub Company team has come up with some of our own resolutions to share:
Amber, massage therapist - eat healthy.
Bethany, fitness instructor - run another 5K.
Garrett, massage therapist - increase pectoral size to meet the prerequisite of becoming a Chippendale dancer (he's serious, folks).
Katherine - moderation and appropriate serving sizes.
Tiffany, workshop leader - a mental diet, less clutter in the mind.

Calories, Fat & Holidays Oh My!

The incidence of heart problems increases during the Holiday season. Extra stress and additional calories, accompanied with poor eating choices, can contribute to the worrying Holiday heart statistics. Instead of leaving the diets until the New Year, make a start TODAY on a healthier life style.

Watch and learn how to avoid the extra pounds this Holiday season.

Extend Lives & Save Dollars in Your Workplace

Smokers will be more successful at quitting if their employers implement a smoke-free workplace. Employers can support their staff further by scheduling one of our on-site Smoking Cessation Workshops. We offer a 60-minute workshop or a 5 week smoking cessation program. Healthier employees result in a happier and more productive workforce.

Employees will learn their unique smoking habits (social, pleasure or stressed smoker?) and triggers that lead them to smoking.

They will be educated on the most effective smoking cessation methods available today and discover the RIGHT stop smoking method so that they QUIT today!

We conveniently bring our classes to your office or group. For more information and to schedule please contact The Back Rub Company at 480-330-2066.

November is the Great American Smokeout

The Plain Hard Facts of Smoking.
(Source:American Cancer Society)

Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States.

Each year 443,000 premature deaths and 49,400 non-smokers die as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke. (American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures 2009)

It turns out that more than 70 percent of adult smokers say they want to quit, but without help, fewer than 5 percent succeed.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the annual cost of tobacco use to an employer averages $3,783 per smoker per year.

Regardless of how long you have smoked and how old you are, quitting smoking can help you live a longer, healthier life. Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long-term benefits for you, your loved ones and your work colleagues.
