Beth Mack shares that with over 22 million members, the Y has the ability to have a positive impact on population health measures including physical activity. However, an occupational shift from more labor-intensive positions to more technology-based and highly-skilled positions, has created a negative impact on our staff’s ability to be physically active. While we may not be able to modify our work roles to eliminate sedentary work, we can build in opportunities throughout the day for self-care to include intentional moments for flexibility, strength and physical activity.
