Corporate Wellness Program Examples For Any Budget

People who are physically active reduce their risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and have lower stress. The recommended level of physical activity to produce most health benefits is 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week.

People who stay fit will cost less, be present more, and be more productive at work.
