Welcome to the first installment of our new communication series for 2012: ChooseWell. Rather than sending out a weekly communication like we did in 2011, MINES will be sending out a monthly digest of materials, clips, quizzes, and the like that we have found interesting and hope you will too. Each month will highlight media in Nutrition, Fitness, Interpersonal Development, and Stress Management. Please feel free to forward these on to your co-workers as you see fit. We hope that each month you find these materials helpful in your quest to ChooseWell, every day.

Build Your Home Gym on a Budget

As a bonus, you’ll get to work out from the comfort of your home, and have no more excuses for not wanting to venture out to the gym on a snowy afternoon!View the list here.
