GREENSBORO, N.C. — First Carolina Corporate Credit Union has issued a creative call to fitness to its staffers.

Understanding the importance employees' health has on their success and satisfaction in the workplace, First Carolina's Wellness Committee is challenging staff members to lose weight, get fit and improve their wellbeing through two unique programs First Carolina Corporate NetWALK and Lose David.

With NetWALK, staffers are challenged to "walk" to each corporate in the country and U.S. Central, 28 staff members have started the trek, armed with First Carolina provided pedometers to count their steps. Together, they plan to walk a total of 9,241 miles–or 20.3 million steps–by September.

For the second challenge several First Carolina employees have committed to collectively lose weight totaling President/CEO David Brehmer's body weight. Each week, the 14 staff members weigh in, along with Brehmer, to track their progress.
