Send us your pictures and/or videos of your company’s walking program, and you will have the chance to win a free healthy lunch for your office. A 94.9 The Point on air announcer will surprise one lucky office and will personally deliver a healthy lunch from Tropical Smoothie Cafe. All you have to do is fill out the form below and send us your pictures or video of you and your fellow employees walking!
For every one hour of regular physical activity, adults gain two hours of life expectancy. Research shows that walking for as little as 30 minutes per day provides heart health benefits.
As an exercise form, walking has the lowest dropout rate.
The concept is simple. Companies set up “walking routes” in the workplace, encourage employees to use them, and celebrate and reward those employees who go from a sedentary lifestyle to a more active one. Everyone wins. The employees are healthier and more productive, the company saves on healthcare costs, and fewer Americans are disabled or die from heart disease and stroke.
