Next session of Healthy Boiler lifestyle program — One to One Fit — begins Jan. 7

The next session of One to One Fit, a four-week, virtual physical activity program, will begin on Jan 7. The Healthy Boiler lifestyle program, which will be led by Purdue Fort Wayne health coach Lindsay Bloom, establishes a baseline fitness level and provides participants with the resources and knowledge needed to meet their fitness goals.

The program is designed for those interested in making lifestyle changes related to weight loss, increased energy, better sleep and stress management. One to One Fit explores three types of exercise — aerobic, flexibility and resistance training — and teaches individuals how each can be used to meet their unique needs and goals. One to One Fit supports the physical health pillar of the Healthy Boiler Wellness Program.

Participants will learn techniques to safely participate in aerobic, body weight, strength and flexibility exercises and how to safely modify exercises to accommodate any medical concerns or mobility issues. After each class, participants receive printable information sheets they can use to practice the exercises at home.

Those taking part also will receive individual coaching sessions at the program’s beginning and end to help them create and assess their lifestyle goals. The health coaches encourage participants to maintain their goal-setting behavior even after the program ends.

One to One Fit and other Healthy Boiler workshops are free and open to all benefits-eligible employees and their dependents covered on a Purdue medical plan.

The deadline to register for the program via the Healthy Boiler Portal is Dec. 31. The registration link can be found under the “Healthy Boiler Workshops” section on the portal’s homepage. Hover over the workshop’s square and click on the information “i” to register.
