Track Shack and AdventHealth will partner in hosting Central Florida’s largest workplace event on Thursday, April 30<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSOON THOUSANDS OF RUNNERS AND WALKERS LACE UP THOSE SHOES AND TRANSFORM. PART OF CENTRAL FLORIDA TO A RACE COURSE. WE\u2019RE JUST A WEEK AWAY FROM THE ADVENTHEALTH CORPORATE FIVE K IN DOWNTOWN ORLANDO. IT\u2019S A BIG EVENT THAT\u2019S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST CROSSING THAT FINISH LINE. IT\u2019S DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE MOVE MORE, REDUCE STRESS, BUILD STRONGER CONNECTIONS, AND CREATE HEALTHY HABITS THAT WILL LAST US OUR WHOLE LIFETIME. SO JOINING ME NOW TO TALK ABOUT THE EVENT AND HOW SOMETHING SIMPLE AS WALKING OR RUNNING REALLY DOES BOOST OUR MENTAL WELL-BEING. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO LISTEN TO. WE\u2019VE GOT ALICIA ALBERT, SENIOR DIRECTOR FOR TRACK SHACK. GREAT TO SEE YOU HERE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. YEAH. AND DOCTOR CHLOE, FERRY, A PEDIATRIC PSYCHOLOGIST WITH ADVENTHEALTH. YEAH. AND THAT\u2019S SOMETHING THAT I THINK THAT WE FORGET ABOUT IS YES, IT\u2019S PHYSICAL HEALTH, BUT IT\u2019S ALSO ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH. WE\u2019LL TALK THAT. SO FIRST TO THE EVENT. IF SOMEBODY IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS RACE, WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? WELL, JASON, THIS IS THE 32ND ANNUAL HEALTH CARE FIVE K. IT\u2019S THE LARGEST HEALTH AND WELLNESS EVENT FOR WORKPLACES RIGHT HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. WE\u2019RE BRINGING TOGETHER 13,000 PEOPLE ACROSS 500 COMPANY TEAMS RIGHT DOWNTOWN AT LAKE EOLA ON A 3.1 MILE ROUTE. RIGHT. AND IN THE DAYS AHEAD, OUR MEAGHAN MACKEY, OUR TRAFFIC EXPERT, WILL LET YOU KNOW ABOUT WHERE THAT ROUTE IS SO YOU CAN AVOID IT IF YOU\u2019RE IN AND AROUND DOWNTOWN. BUT IT\u2019S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE MOVE THAT HELPS OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH. BUT YOU WANT TO STRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH ASPECT OF IT, RIGHT? THAT\u2019S SUCH A BIG PART. YES, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CAN BE SO BENEFICIAL \u2588FOR MENTAL HEALTH. IT CAN DEFINITELY HELP REGULATE THOSE STRESS HORMONES LIKE CORTISOL AS WELL AS ADRENALINE. AND IT CAN ALSO BOOST OUR MOOD BY RELEASING ENDORPHINS INTO OUR BENEFICIAL IN TERMS OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH. ALL RIGHT. SO WE\u2019RE GOING TO FEEL BETTER. BUT WE DO NEED TO DO ALL OF THIS SAFELY. SO YOU\u2019RE MAKING SURE THAT WE\u2019RE RUNNING RIGHT AND AND PUTTING ON THE RIGHT FOOTWEAR, RIGHT? DEFINITELY. YEAH. AND THAT\u2019S WHERE WE TURN TO YOU GUYS AT TRACK SHACK TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF SHOE WILL WORK FOR ME. YEAH, OF COURSE YOU CAN COME VISIT US AHEAD OF THE RACE NEXT WEEK. IF YOU\u2019RE IN NEED OF NEW SHOES. AND SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK IS A BENEFICIARY TO THIS RACE AS WELL. SO ALSO BUYING SHOES AT TRACK SHACK WILL DONATE TEN MEALS TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED. OKAY, SO LET\u2019S TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT RACE DAY AND WHAT THIS EVENT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE YES, WE KNOW IT\u2019S A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT\u2019S COMPANIES SORT OF SHOWING THEIR PRIDE AND, AND COMPETING. BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT FOR YOU WHEN, WHEN RUNNERS AND WALKERS GET OUT THERE, IT\u2019S EXCITING. IT ALIGNS WITH ITS MISSION, WHICH WE WANT EVERYONE TO LIVE HEALTHY, ACTIVE LIFESTYLES AND CORPORATE. FIVE K IS THE PERFECT EVENT FOR THAT. EVERYONE\u2019S COMING OUT AND JOINING TOGETHER, CREATING CONNECTIONS AND REALLY LIVING THAT HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. YEAH. SO YES, WE\u2019RE, WE\u2019RE MOVING, WE\u2019RE HELPING BOOST THOSE ENDORPHINS AND THAT\u2019S OUR MENTAL HEALTH. BUT THAT, THAT COMMUNITY TOO IS REALLY GOOD FOR, FOR OUR MENTAL STABILITY. YES, DEFINITELY. WE REALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENCOURAGE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH. AND THERE\u2019S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO SORT OF EMPHASIZE THAT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS WITHIN OUR HOME SETTING AS WELL. ONE OF THEM IS JUST ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION. WE ALL DO THE STANDARD, HOW IS YOUR DAY? WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY? BUT WE CAN ALSO ASK, WHAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS FRUSTRATING THAT HAPPENED TODAY? OR HOW DID YOU FEEL PROUD TODAY AND REALLY BE ABLE TO EMPHASIZE THAT MENTAL HEALTH, WELLNESS. SO WE CAN NOT ONLY MODEL THAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY, BUT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE AROUND US AND OUR CHILDREN. I LOVE THAT YOU SAID THAT WE\u2019VE STARTED DOING, YOU KNOW, READ SOME ARTICLE THAT I SCROLLED THROUGH ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IT DID SAY, ASK THE KIDS, WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF TODAY? AND IT HELPS BUILD RESILIENCE IN THEM AND EVEN BOOST THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. SO I LOVE THAT YOU SAID THAT A REAL EXPERT OPINION, NOT SOME TIKTOK OR WHATEVER. SO LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW THE STEPS THAT WE CAN ALL TAKE OUTSIDE OUR WORKPLACE. AS YOU MENTIONED, TO STRENGTHEN MENTAL HEALTH. AND MAYBE IT\u2019S NOT, YOU\u2019RE NOT READY FOR THIS KIND OF AN EVENT, BUT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT\u2019S TAKING A LITTLE WALK OUT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A FAMILY AND DOING SOME THINGS LIKE THAT. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? YES, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL ARE RIGHT. JUST PARKING A LITTLE BIT FARTHER AWAY, TAKING THE STAIRS INSTEAD OF THE ELEVATOR CAN BE REALLY SMALL STEPS. I ALSO ENCOURAGE DANCE BREAKS. SO TAKE TEN MINUTES, JUST DO A LITTLE DANCE BREAK. YOU CAN DO THAT ON YOUR COMMUTE. IT CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL AS WELL. I SEE ERIC WALKING OVER TO THE WALL TO DO HIS FORECAST. WE\u2019RE GOING TO MAKE YOU DO A DANCE BREAK WHEN YOU START THIS FORECAST RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT? AND THERE IS STILL TIME TO SIGN UP. WE ALL NEED TO KNOW SO YOU CAN GO TO CORPORATE FIVE K.COM. YOU CAN FOLLOW US AT AT CORPORATE FIVE K ON INSTAGRAM. WE\u2019LL HAVE ALL THE REGISTRATION INFORMATION, EVENT INFORMATION AHEAD OF RACE DAY NEXT THURSDAY, APRIL 30TH. OKAY. AWESOME STUFF. THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING TO HELP BOOST OUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH FOR A GREAT CAUSE. HERE WE\u2019RE POSTING A LINK. ALL THE INFORMATION IS THERE ON WESH.COM. AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU\u2019RE PART OF IT, YOU\u2019RE GOING TO GET THIS AWESOME SWAG HERE. THIS SHIRT IS GREAT. LOVING THIS. OKAY, SO WE\u2019RE GOING TO CUT AWAY TO ERIC FOR THAT DANCE BREAK. AND WE NEED, WE NEED GOOD WEATHER FOR THE EVENT. YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
