WORK ON YOUR WORK ABILITY

Keeping fit? Learning how to do-it-yourself
A day specifically for those "working with their voice": teachers, lecturers and those working in child care.

Aim is to provide means to train your voice. During the day you will learn how to relax and strengthen the muscles producing your voice as well as how to breathe in an efficient manner. By doing so you will also be motivated to learn to keep up the condition of the muscles in neck and shoulders.

Examples of the different parts the day may be offering:
- lecture of our voice massage therapist with exercises
- training of neck and shoulder muscles under the guidance of our physiotherapist and muscle stretching exercises
- outdoor breathing exercises in the dunes, the sea wind caressing your nostrils
- free access to the water jogging/pool

Fitness training
Our fitness training offers you the possibility to break away from every day's routines and concentrate on your own well-being and recreation. Fitness holidays and -trainings do provide preventive fitness training aimed at keeping up and improving your ability to work. While we are indulging our bodies we do also discover the unique nature in Yyteri.

Fitness training courses
In close co-operation with your employer and occupational health care officials we design fitness training courses. Apart from healthy habits their contents may stress relaxation and improvement of physical well-being as well as well-being at work. Our fitness training course will last 5 days or less, according to your needs and wishes.

The course provides a 2 km UKK walking test, a bicycle-ergometer test and a health condition test. Tests, measurements and health condition inquiries will form the base of individual aims and exercises. Information on a.e. fitness training, health diets and well-being in general will every day form part of the programme.

Fitness training holidays
Fitness training holidays are active holidays, supported by the trade unions, providing tools for a healthy life, fitness training, relaxing and well-being in general. The holiday includes a physical condition test, health information, guided fitness training as well as advice on an individual level.

In the overwhelming nature of Yyteri we strengthen your ability to keep on going by a.e running, Nordic walking and swimming in the sea at summertime. Half a year after the holiday you can have your health condition checked in the 2-days "health meeting". At that occasion your physical condition will one more time be checked and your individual fitness programme updated.

Support
Please take up contact with your trade union and ask for the possibility to take part in the Yyteri Spa fitness training holiday and health meeting. More information you will read on Suomen Ammattiliittojen Lomajärjestöstä (SAL).

Employers can receive support to the fitness training courses from the trade union holiday trusts. The subsidy can cover up until 25 % of the costs. Attenders of the course can receive support from Kela, the Finnish social insurance. The amount of support will be 75 % of the salary. www.kela.fi
