Yoga, Power Mix or high-intensity interval training – for the employees of Haeger & Schmidt Logistics (HSL), every day can end on a sporty note. The in-House Health Management team at HSL puts together a weekly training programme for home workouts. The offers are made up of the online programme of the Medical Center Ruhrort, Eric Nellen MCR (Duisburg), with whom HSL has a long-standing partnership, and the training units of Fitnessland Kensho (Neukirchen-Vluyn). “We want to make it as easy as possible for our colleagues to stay regularly on the active ball in terms of sport,” says Thorsten Koch, responsible for this project at HSL. He himself likes to use the YouTube channel for his sports sessions because of the flexibility.
In addition to sports, the online programme also offers health tips. One example is the project “4 weeks without coffee. Advantages, disadvantages, effects and experience”. The live streams cannot replace the numerous sporting events at which HSL normally successfully shows its team spirit with its presence throughout the year. “But the dragon boat races, runs, bike races and the Mud Masters Obstacle Run will have to wait until the Corona Pandemic situation allows. Health comes first. We continue to keep an eye on all the dates and wait and see,” assures Koch.
