For almost 3 years Zappos has been most fortunate to have Dr. Vik as our inhouse “Coach” to help Zapponians empower themselves for overall wellness, life planning, perspective and balance. And so it was one year ago today that Dr Vik, started posting a daily thought about not just these areas but on other newsworthy topics. His first post kicked off our May Wellness month last year. Here’s his 365th post.

Some people better watch out…

By Dr Vik | April 30, 2008

Because I know we All can get happy at the drop of a hat.

Whether it’s in a super market, standing in line, at a restaurant
or at work…we may just bust out in sheer unbridled laughter, which
usually puts the kibosh on anyone even trying to be serious.

We can attempt to not think about all the funny things and great
times we had and will have, but occasionally we can slip up and change
the vibe of everything around us…so if you are always serious…you better watch out.

Yours in “Life is Pretty Sweet” - Coach

Today the American Cancer Society came in and showed us how to use these Dynaband exercise devices.
It was nicely paced and conducted and we all got these cool snappy blue elastic straps to use at our desks. We were first shown how to do some stretching and flexing exercises then we used the Dynaband in some pretty creative and effective ways.

There were 3 classes today and there will be many more wellness sessions, both Dynaband and other types throughout the month of May. It’s our traditonal wellness focus month. Here’s our very first class in action today.

I decided to go with this picture because it would probably generate the fewest death threats for me. Some people are pretty uptight about having their pictures taken, especially while exercising. The guy in front is Jason, he wants to be in movies, so we’re good. The next person, in the expensive red shirt, that's Jonathan and he’s a gentleman and a scholar, so no worries there. The smiling young lady is Kari, she’s obviously joyful - I'll be interviewing her, her mom and brother soon - they all work at Zappos. Now the 4th person, that’s Stacy, not StacEy, Stacy. Yep, if I turn up missing, that’s where the focus should be. Yes siree bob!
