In February, we rose to 5523! Although it's progress, let's really rise to the challenge and keep breaking our previous month's total. 💪

Congrats to our top 5 February steppers!👟

It was definitely our LUCKY day! 🍀

A special thank you to Luanne Tichenor and Morgan Dotson, of BluMine Health, for joining us on campus today and sharing on, "Smart Nutrition for Real Life". We learned about how to stretch our dollar to get the most out of our meals, how to simplify our grocery trips, healthy food options, and some great advice on healthy yet tasty swaps! 🍓

We hope that all who attended enjoyed their lunch and this St. Patty's Day visit from our partners at BluMine.👏

Lunchtime Yoga has been quite the hit. EKU's very own, Abby Brooks, has lined up some amazing classes! We are so grateful for the space at the Student Rec Center and are looking forward to the next few sessions that remain on our schedule. 🧘‍♂️

Employees are welcome to attend, at no cost, on the upcoming Wednesday's on March 18th from 12-1pm and on April 1st from 12-1pm. If you have not filled out a waiver, they will ask you to do so upon arrival. You will be guided to the Big E Studio!

Hope to see you soon! 🤩

Y'all, March is here! 🍀

This month's challenge is inspired by this month being National Nutrition Month.

The Frugal Diner challenge invites us to prepare the majority of our food at home and dine in for 20 days out of the month. This challenge should help us to save money and improve the quality of food that we consume. 👏

We've got this! 💪

$60 is waiting!!!

If you have not yet completed your annual health risk assessment, in WellRight, for 2026, you can do so at any time! ⌚

The annual health risk assessment is a wonderful tool to help you gage where you stand health wise. Do you need to drink more water, do you need to get more exercise, are you eating enough vegetables...? This assessment can help guide you in the right direction to improve your overall health. 🤩

The $60 incentive can be earned by full time employees who are on an EKU Health Plan.

Winter storms gave a flex 💪🏾 in the month of January BUT that did not stop EKU Employees from finding ways to put in the steps. Our top finisher in the step challenge averaged over 22,000 steps per day! It was still a very close match! 🏆

Of all employees who participated in January, we saw an average daily step count of 5328. 👟 Let's break that for the month of February!

Here are some ways to get more steps in during your work day! 🤩

⌚- Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
🚗- Park farther away from your office building.
👟- Take a 5 minute walk break every hour.
🚽- Choose a restroom on a different floor.
💁🏽‍♂️- Utilize a standing desk with a walking pad.
🚶🏻‍♀️- Plan walking meetings with your office staff.
🤳- Walk during phone calls.

Congrats to our top 5 January steppers!

With February being Hearth Health Awareness Month and the month that we celebrate Valentines Day, it only makes sense that our challenge be one that supports showing love to others through good deeds.

For February's challenge we are asked to complete 28 random acts of kindness. 🌟

To complete the challenge and earn wellness points, track your random acts of kindness at least once a week. 📓

Happy New Year and a new challenge!

January's challenge invites you to track everything you eat for the next 31 days. The goal is to increase your awareness of what you eat and how many calories your food contains. This challenge is designed to help you make good food choices. 🤩

Track "Yes" in WellRight for each week that you've successfully logged your food. 🥕
