This award-winning, weekly Facebook Live video series is presented by Shiloh Fisher and Seth Sharp, health and wellness specialists with Owensboro Health’s Education and Wellness Team. Fitness Friday was started about a year ago to further Owensboro Health’s mission, to improve the health of the communities we serve. The Education and Wellness Team is truly committed to this mission as they continue to seek creative ways to encourage members of the surrounding communities to make wellness a priority. Seth and Shiloh use innovative ways to engage their viewers by demonstrating tips to become more active at any fitness level. During the warmer weather, you may find them at local community parks or at the hospital’s walking trail demonstrating simple and fun ways to be more active. Seth said he feels Fitness Friday is the perfect way to combine his exercise physiology background with his role in the Education and Wellness Department. “One of the most important parts of becoming more physically active is finding something you love to do,” he said. “Exercise and activity don’t have to be a chore if you are having fun while you are doing them.” Shiloh said she has definitely found her niche in her health and wellness role. “Everyone should make health a priority,” she said. “Making health and fitness a way of life will give people the confidence they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and feel their best, regardless of their age or fitness level.” Shortly after the inception of Fitness Friday, the Wellness Wednesday Facebook Live videos debuted. Wellness Wednesday is presented each week by the team’s registered dietitians, offering a nutrition component that is a great complement to Fitness Friday. Read more on page 4. Join us!
