From “Desk Sentence” to a Culture of Health:
Making Movement Part of the 9-to-5
Feb. 28, 2013 | Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center, 1 John Nolen Dr. Madison, WI 53703 | MAP
Does your workplace provide opportunities for employees to get up and move? Or are your employees
serving a “desk sentence” — a work day devoid of physical activity? The answer has significant effects on
the health and productivity of your employees, and ultimately, your bottom line.
The average American sits between 8 and 15 hours per day, severely impacting health. Some studies
equate it to smoking a pack of cigarettes per day! Exercise plays a role in the treatment and prevention
of more than 40 chronic diseases — showing direct effects on the risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
depression, and cancer.
Countering the “sit-down” lifestyle starts with adding movement — even small amounts — throughout
the workday.
At this event, you’ll learn:
»» The alarming health effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
»» Simple movements that can have a significant impact on employee health.
»» How to motivate your employees to get moving during the workday.
»» How to create a workplace culture that promotes healthy activities — while having
a little fun along the way!
