What you need to know
Having the strength, mobility, and flexibility to move through your daily routine and activities reduces your risk of injury.
This Health Action Plan connects you with a fitness coach and focuses on full-body exercises that engage your stability muscles to keep you moving well.
How the Plan Works
A health and fitness coach will take you through a functional movement screening and body assessment. Together, you will set goals to improve your strength and mobility.
After 90 days, you and your coach will meet to measure your progress.
Employee spouses are not eligible to participate in this Health Action Plan. But, those enrolled in Sandia medical coverage can complete certain activities for up to $50 each year. Go to Join a Health Action Plan to learn more.
