Interested in trying something new? Join us on 26th May for a day of wellbeing and physical activity. As well as gaining valuable advice and information about maintaining a healthy lifestyle from experts from the British Heart Foundation (BHF), the School’s network of volunteer trainers and coaches will be running free taster sessions throughout the day, open to all members of staff.
The BHF will be running interactive sessions throughout the day in The Venue (the basement of SAW), focusing upon physical activity, healthy eating and wellbeing practices. During the session you will be guided through four themed health zones by an experienced and professional BHF team to learn more about eating well, being active, thinking well and changing habits. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes – just email staffWellbeing@lse.ac.uk to book a place. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
At the same time, a host of LSE volunteer providers will also be running a number of fitness and wellbeing taster sessions. There is no need to book, simply turn up suitably dressed for the relevant activity at the time specified (a t-shirt, leggings/shorts/tracksuit bottoms and trainers will suit most activities). All taster sessions will be taking place in the Exercise Studio, 6th Floor, SAW Building. Staff should notify the instructors on the day of any pre-existing health conditions that may affect their ability to complete the class safely. The taster session schedule is as follows:

All staff are encouraged to take advantage of the free activities during the Staff Wellbeing Day, but individuals should also be mindful to check with their line manager whether they can attend a particular session.
As this day is taking place one day before the Global Corporate Challenge begins, this is the perfect opportunity for those signed up to take part in the GCC to make sure they are embarking on a new healthy lifestyle in a safe and manageable way, whilst trying out a new activity to help boost enthusiasm for the 100-days ahead. However, all staff are welcome along to the wellbeing day, irrespective of GCC participation.
