IN THE OFFICE
We can’t get you out of the office for a week to celebrate women’s health, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate! Organize a lunchtime walk with your coworkers during the week or encourage everyone to stand during meetings for the week. Get more involved and challenge coworkers to monitor their healthy activities like steps, food, water, and more.

FREE TIME
While we may want to do other things during our time away from school or the office, you can still celebrate National Women’s Health Week and have fun! Each night, cook up a deliciously healthy meal for you and your family. Start an impromptu dance party. Cut out soda and replace it with water. Take up a fitness class like yoga or Zumba. Share all your progress and ideas on social media with the #NWHW hashtag!
