Jenni Shirey, a human resources representative for Baptist Golden Triangle, is the latest member of the “HumanaVitality platinum” club to share her view of the program with Leader. Below, she explains how HumanaVitality has helped her feel better now than she did 20 years ago.

[toggle title=”What do you like about it?” state=”close”]There are several things that I like about it. I like that it tells you your Vitality Age and then gives you goals to work toward lowering that age. I also like the points system. I like that you get rewarded for making healthy decisions and meeting goals.

I am 2,500 away from being able to get the iPad mini.[/toggle] [toggle title=”Why should other colleagues use HumanaVitality?” state=”close”] Using HumanaVitality has motivated me to continue on a path to healthy living. I think if employees will give it a try, they will find at least one thing about it that will motivate them, whether it’s trying to reduce their Vitality Age, watching their points increase by meeting their goals and making healthy decisions, or the overall health results they are getting from living healthier, there is something for everyone.[/toggle] [toggle title=”Anything else you want to share about your efforts to improve
your health?” state=”close”] Find something you enjoy doing to be active. If you enjoy it, you will stick with it, and the results will be great.
