Two ways to enter:

(1) On Instagram, post a photo showing how you’re bringing healthy habits to the workplace using the hashtag #workhealthyCLT and tagging OrthoCarolina in the photo – be sure your profile is set to public this week so we can see it! Every photo posted and tagged will count for 5 giveaway entries. 

(2) Submit your healthy workplace ideas using the form below (one entry per person).

Entries will be considered between Monday, May 1 and Monday, May 8. The winner will be notified on Tuesday, May 9. 

The prizes: 

One winner will be selected and will receive a Clean Juice party for up to 10 people (we’ll deliver it to you ourselves!), a $100 Lenny Boy gift card so you can stock up on kombucha (or beer, we don’t judge), and a one-month class pass to newly open CorePower Yoga. Total prize value is more than $250. 

What if you work solo or have a small team? More juice for you, my friend!

Tips for workplace wellness

Need help making sure your workspace and routines are health-conscious? Here are some tips via OrthoCarolina. 

• Don’t dangle your feet. Use a foot rest or lower your seat to make sure your feet are securely rooted and avoid putting extra pressure on the back of your legs. Sitting on the edge of your seat puts back in a more neutral position and helps to keep you from hunching your shoulders.
• Here are 29 exercises you can do at (or near) your desk via Lifehack.
• Avoid eyestrain by making sure that your monitor is not too close, it should be at least an arm’s length away.
• Make your space your own! Decorate your office or cubicle as much as your company policy permits, to create an inspired, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
• Simmer down from a stressful moment with a few squeezes on a stress ball.
• Sitting is the new smoking! Get up and move once an hour for better health.
• Get rid of your candy dish to prevent mindless eating and save calories; replace the sweets with nuts or grapes
• Drink 8oz of water every hour to stay hydrated, more focused, and more refreshed. If drinking water is hard for you try setting an alarm hourly to drink 8oz. Before long it will be a habit and a craving!
• Make sure you set up your chair so that your arms are supported at all times. If your arms are not supported, the muscles of your neck and shoulders will be crying by the end of the day.
