On a positive note, my job allows me 3 hours a week of paid time off to work out at the gym. This is not 3 hours a week to leave early, screw around .... but 3x a week our group goes to the gym and run, lift weights and condition.

IMHO, 3 hrs a week is about perfect. It’s enough time to get a little bit of toning, lose weight and incentive to work more on our own to get in better shape.

If just 1 heart attack is eliminated; think of the cost savings. On the side, people find that working out with co-workers improves morale, decreases stress, and makes the job a ‘fun’ environment.

I wish that more companies would initiate similar programs. 3 hrs a week of lost productivity is easily offset by workers who return to their desk re-invigorated, healthy and happy.

Are any of your co-workers attractive members of the extreme opposite gender who look good in spandex?

Cheers!
