Welcome to Osaic Employee Wellness Month 2024! As part of our commitment to enabling employee wellness, this year’s celebration will focus on a new 2024 Osaic Fit for Life Challenge.
With all sorts of prize opportunities, fitness classes, and health and wellness tips, this is one Osaic Wellness event you won’t want to miss!
Here's the scoop
The first step? Register!

- Navigate to the Select Team pop-up and choose an existing team to join or select Create New Team.
- If you create a team, you are automatically a member of that team.
- You cannot be on more than one team.
- All teams need to have exactly five members to be eligible for prizes.
Don’t wait to sign up! The first 50 individuals that register starting on September 23 will win an Osaic-branded Nike Dri-FIT t-shirt!
Next step: track your exercise
Now that you have registered for the Challenge and selected or created your team, the next step is to figure out how you will track your exercise. You can:
- Manually track your exercise and log your daily activity.
- Enable automated tracking through a wearable fitness tracker.
- Click the Trackers button, which will open a window that shows all the available fitness trackers supported by ChallengeRunner.
- Choose the option that matches the method you will use and click Authorize next to the device name.

Celebrity fitness coach Jen Widerstrom kicked things off with a one-hour LIVE webinar on Monday, September 30.
Don’t miss this awesome session, designed to encourage you to live a healthier lifestyle and learn fitness and nutrition tips to help you get the most out of this 31-day challenge!
Track your habits and earn points
Throughout the challenge, you will track five specific habits each day. Each habit helps you earn points as you apply discipline and accountability toward the goals that are most important to you!
Important: Tallying your habits
You will need to report your daily point tally at the end of each day. There are a total of 10 points that can be earned each day for completing each of the five habits, and with the bonus habits, you can exceed that 10-point maximum. How does it work?
Here are some examples:
- If you complete habits 1 and 4, as well as bonus habit 2, your score at the end of the day is 5 out of 10.
- Let's say you don’t work out one day, but you complete the other 4 habits, AND you hit the bonus habits of sleeping for seven hours or more and don’t drink alcohol, you can still get a perfect score with a 10/10 for that day.
- If you log ALL Habits, including the three Bonus Habits, you’d have a 13/10 score.

Indulge in a class
To help you stay active and motivated throughout the challenge, and to support your fitness goals, Osaic has teamed up with our partners at Wellable to facilitate a weekly series of fitness classes that will count toward your tally of exercise points.
Act Fast! Registration is required and spots in each class are limited to 100 employees. Click the link below to view the full schedule and sign up for your favorite classes ASAP.
This class includes a mix of meditation, yin, and restorative styles of yoga. Yin yoga gently stretches the deep connective tissues surrounding muscles, organs, and bones, particularly around the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Yin yoga keeps joints strong and lubricated, helping to retain range of motion during aging. Restorative yoga is an "active relaxation" that strengthens the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering heart rate, blood pressure, and stimulating the immune system to reduce the effects of stress-related diseases. The class ends with a long savasana to facilitate entering a deep state of relaxation.
This class will lead participants through a series of gentle movements designed to keep their muscles flexible, strong, and healthy! Stretching on a regular basis helps improve muscle tone and flexibility, alleviate pain, prevent injury, and calm the mind.
