Stair climbing week 2009 starts

Stair climbing week 2009 starts

From Monday 14 to Friday 18 September, the whole of the Netherlands will be dominated by the staircase. More than 200,000 employees consciously take the stairs this week during the 3rd National Stair Climbing Week.

The Diabetes Fund and the 30-minute exercise campaign of the Netherlands Institute for Sport and Exercise (NISB) let the 'working' Netherlands know with the Stair Climbing Week that climbing stairs is healthy and type 2 diabetes can occur

With the promotion, the organizers, together with employers, want to make employees aware of the daily choices they make. Taking the elevator is often automatic, without thinking that the stairs are also a great alternative. And it is precisely that difference that matters – taking the stairs is already improving your health

All companies and organizations in the Netherlands can participate in the National Traploopweek and register via www.traploopweek.nl .
