In May, JHU employees participated in the Mind Your Health Challenge, which took place on the Burnalong platform. During the challenge, participants engaged in various classes offered on the platform and were randomly selected to receive fun prizes each week. A total of 21,432 exercise and mindfulness minutes were completed during the challenge, helping to improve both mental and physical health while also fostering a sense of community within the platform.
Burnalong offers a diverse range of live and on-demand educational and fitness classes for free to JHU employees. Users can also add up to four subaccounts so that friends and family can join them on their wellness journey. Additionally, users have the option to create their own challenges on Burnalong to motivate others to develop healthy habits.
If you missed out on the recent challenge, don’t worry – the next JHU wellness challenge will take place in the fall. Until then, employees can continue to access classes on the Burnalong platform. If you haven’t already signed up for a free account, you can do so by registering on the platform’s website.
For more information about JHU Well-Being programs, employees can visit the Benefits & Worklife website or contact wellnessprograms@jhu.edu.
