Your plans for the year ahead
Wellbeing Check
If you’re the kind of person who likes to have a goal and track your progress, our Wellbeing Check can help you assess your present position and give you simple, practical advice on how you can improve your wellbeing. Your health affects every other aspect of your life, so looking after it will make a difference, whatever your personal goals. You can access wellbeing check in the Physical Wellbeing section of your Orange Genie Companion app or portal.
Fitness and wellbeing – money
Your finances are another aspect of life where most people can benefit from thinking ahead and having a plan. Like your health, your finances can affect many other aspects of your life, so it makes sense to take control of them.
The Fitness section of Orange Genie Companion contains a section call Money, which offers a wide variety of general financial information and guidance, written by respected industry experts. It also features a number of useful planners and calculators provided by the Money Advice Service to help you assess your position and move closer to your goals. These include a budget planner and pensions, loan and mortgage affordability calculators. For specific advice based on your particular situation, you should always consult a qualified financial advisor.
Every-day ways to feel good
Cook Great food
Eating well is one of the best things you can do to improve your general morale, as well as all the traditional measures of health and wellbeing. For best results, it’s best to include a wide variety of high-quality food, but that can be difficult to achieve in today’s busy world, especially if you’re on a budget.
That’s where Orange Genie Companion can help, because the Munch section of Fitness in the Companion app and portal contains hundreds of easy-to-follow recipes. They come with estimated cooking times and calories counts on the listing tile, so you can pick something that fits in with your schedule and goals, and each recipe includes step by step instructions and a full nutritional breakdown.
Improve or maintain your fitness
How easily you move and how well you cope with physical exertion have a significant impact on your quality of life. Whether your fitness goals include playing with your grandkids or running a marathon, a little focused work can make almost every aspect of life easier or better.
If you don’t have access to a gym or a live class, or it’s a challenge to fit exercise into your busy schedule, Orange Genie Companion could have the solution.
In the Move section of Fitness in your Orange Genie Companion app or portal, you’ll find a wide range of exercise videos that you can stream from any device at any time, so you can work out from home, or anywhere else with an internet connection. Videos are organised by goal, duration and difficulty so you can easily choose one that fits your needs.
Process stress and sleep better
Mindfulness meditation has helped millions of people to reduce stress, increase productivity and sleep better, but it can take dedication and practice to learn how to meditate for more than a few seconds.
To help you progress more easily, the Mind section of Fitness in your Orange Genie Companion app or portal has a wide selection of guided meditations, designed to help you work towards a number of goals, including mental clarity and focus, relaxation, confidence and calm. There’s also a whole section dedicated to improving your sleep and soundscapes to help you relax.
