May is Global Employee Health and Fitness month, an initiative launched by the National Association for Health & Fitness and ACTIVE Life.
Formerly National Employee Health & Fitness Day, Global Employee Health and Fitness Month has been extended to a month-long initiative in an effort to "generate sustainability for a healthy lifestyle and initiate healthy activities on an ongoing basis," according to the groups.
