Is
Your Company Healthy?
The Answer Might Surprise You!
Statistics show 64% of Americans are overweight and 31% are obese. Obesity is considered a disease, and it has in just a few years reached epidemic proportions. Just as you would recommend flu shots for your employees to keep them healthy, instituting the 10-K-A-Day Program will lead them on the road to a healthier, happier life.
WHAT IS THE 10K-A-DAY PROGRAM?
The 10k-A-Day Program allows employers to promote fitness, improve employee health, reduce absenteeism, and create a team spirit throughout the workplace, without detracting from the most important thing – your business. Finally, here is a program that produces trackable results for your entire work force.
Having a healthier workforce is the optimal way to reduce your costs and increase your profits. In the United States alone, companies promoting fitness for their employees could save over 1.5 billion dollars each year.
THE 10K-A-DAY
ADVANTAGE
 The 10k-A-Day Program provides a year-round fitness program for your employees without risk of injury or undue stress on muscles or joints. It’s something your employees can take part in, regardless of their current physical condition or weight. It’s something everyone knows how to do, it’s fun, non-competitive, promotes employee bonding and provides easy-to-track goals and results.
Old or young, over-weight or slender, your staff will be comparing steps and challenging each other to do better every day.
THE 10K-A-DAY PHILOSOPHY
The core philosophy of the 10k-A-Day Program revolves around the proven effectiveness of Fitness Walking. The benefits of Fitness Walking include:
 |
Easy to learn, can be done daily and almost everybody can participate |
|
Requires no special equipment or expensive gym memberships |
|
Uses both upper-body and lower-body muscle groups |
|
Provides an excellent cardiovascular workout |
|
Can be done inside, outside and all year round |
The best part of the 10k-A-Day Program is that it never takes your employees away from their work. Their walking program becomes part of their day - all day, every day.
HOW THE 10K-A-DAY PROGRAM WORKS
 Get Your Employees More Active: The average American takes only 4,000 to 6,000 steps per day. The primary goal of the 10k-A-Day Program is to get your employees to take about 10,000 steps per day (or roughly 4 miles). This doesn’t mean that they have to cram a treadmill workout in during their lunch hour. Simply parking further away from the building or taking the stairs may be enough to accomplish the 10k-A-Day goal.
Counting and Tracking Steps is Easy: The 10k-A-Day Program will teach your employees to use a Digital Step Counter. Then, they will simply go to your company’s custom Log-Your-Walk™ website (which we provide and maintain for you) and enter their stats into your company’s private database. Using our proprietary software, they can track their daily walks, calculate calorie burn, view past walking logs and graph their progress.
 Simple To Implement, Easy To Manage: Step by step, we’ll show you how to implement, motivate, reward and keep staff on the right track. Plus, once implemented, the 10k-A-Day Program requires very little administrative oversight, management or additional investment.
