Why Work-Site Fitness Makes Sense

In order to manage the 10,000 steps per day recommended by walking advocates, workers who remain sedentary during their workday, would have to spend most of their evenings in motion.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has found that without access to fruits and vegetables on the job, a working adult would have to eat 1-2 cups of fruits or vegetables every waking hour after work to meet he recommended 3 ½ to 6 ½ cups daily.

1/3 of the average employee’s day is spent working.  1/3 sleeping and the other 1/3 trying to catch up and do all the normal everyday things, some fun things, have a social life and some down time.  A reason often given for lack of exercise is “no time”.

With our Corporate Wellness program in place at your worksite, there is time because they don’t have to travel anywhere extra (which is the most common reason people don’t exercise).  We find that using the first half hour for exercise and the last hour for clean up, change and eat their lunch works best.
