Eikenhout : Roofing, Siding and Windows

Ultimate Frisbee and Health

What began as an 8 week early morning meeting to help employees learn about the signs and symptoms of strokes and heart attacks is finishing as an all out health explosion.  Grand Rapids corporate office will be hosting an employee “healthy potluck” along with providing a personal trainer to assist everyone in finding activities specific for them, and of course there will be an ultimate frisbee competition.

The buffet line will look a little different as the menu will demonstrate that Eikenhout employees can eat healthy even while experiencing early donut withdrawal.  The turtle cheesecake may have tofu and there will be fruit and veggies instead of the fudge brownies, but everyone will have fun.

To promote exercise two activities are planned.  First a trainer will be demonstrating that conditioning and being active should be fun instead of a punishment and then comes the “Big Event” – the ultimate frisbee game.  Everyone is working out their strategy as the friendly competitive juices begin to flow.  The Frisbee will never again be the same after this epic battle.

The goal of this 8 weeks has been to learn about healthy living while learning how to help others if they experience the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke.  Our new AED (automatic external defibrillator) will be at the corporate office for such emergencies.  The ultimate winner will be our customers and employees.
