| Will Bewell works in AP3 and recently completed a Personal Health Assessment through CareATC. His results showed high glucose, elevated LDL, and a weight level he’d like to improve. Like many manufacturing employees balancing long shifts and family responsibilities, he felt unsure where to start. This April—Move More Month—Will is making one commitment: just move a little more each day. And GE Appliances makes that easier through Y at Work. Will signed up for the Smart Start program, where the fitness team was able to guide him on setting up a plan, create a workout plan, and helping him achieve his goals along the way. |

This April he plans to: Walk for a few minutes before or after his shift Add light stretching during breaks Attend at least one Y at Work class each week Use short movement breaks instead of stress habits Track his progress in small, achievable steps He isn’t trying to overhaul his life overnight—just build momentum.
