Nurse Unit Manager, Cardiology Unit, St.Vincent’s Private Hospital
The best thing about the program it is it’s proven to be fun. We get together for six minutes and spend some time together, have a laugh and stretch. The aim is to give us more fitness for what we are doing at work and for life.

Everybody got involved and it’s turned out to be a lot of fun. The ladies in the kitchen area find the hand exercises really helpful and we all feel better after we have done the program.

Nurse Unit Manager Orthopaedic Unit, St.Vincent’s Private Hospital
Injuries can be something you get over a long period of time. It is important to take time out. When we stretch together as a team it’s a great opportunity to see how people are going and who might need some support to prevent an injury occurring.

The workers love the program. Our 1400 workers have completed 100,000 minutes of group exercise in eighteen months. It has taught them how to look after themselves and each other. The new “6 min recharge” program can be undertaken anywhere, anytime and allows our staff the time to take a short break, feel better and have some fun.
