The Alberta Centre for Active Living has launched a user-friendly website to promote physical activity during the workday. Called Physical Activity @ Work, the site provides information about the health and bottom-line benefits of bringing physical activity into the workday as well as the safety and risk management issues involved. It also includes:

• a step-by-step guide to planning workplace physical activity
• practical suggestions for making physical activity possible in your workplace
• success stories from Alberta companies
• tools, resources and research findings (for example, a personal Activity Tracker and videos entitled Yoga @ Your Desk and Stretching @ Your Desk)

The Alberta Centre for Active Living is a provincial, non-profit research and education centre affiliated with the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta. The centre is supported by the Government of Alberta and the Alberta Sports, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
