You asked for it and here it is! In response to employee requests, Balanced You, in partnership with Vivecorp, is offering free, live, virtual exercise classes and on demand fitness videos. King County employees and anyone in their home, including children, are welcome to join.
During the pandemic, many people have shifted their exercise routine due to gym closures and restrictions. Recently, in Employee News, Balanced You asked what type of exercise classes were of interest to employees. King County employees let us know they prefer yoga and strength training, so we designed a schedule focused on these. It’s one more way we’re supporting your health and well-being.
On demand fitness and stretching videos
These pre-recorded stretching videos are designed for you to take short breaks in your day for movement, whether you are at home or in the office.
Vivecorp has a library of on-demand fitness videos, including yoga sessions and total body strength. If you can’t attend a live virtual class, you can follow one of these videos any time that works best for you.
Live, virtual exercise classes
Below, you’ll find the class schedule and instructions on how to register and join. These classes will be hosted on Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there. Classes are 50-minutes long, but you can stay as long as you life. Log in 5 minutes before class to meet the instructor and get set up.
