Worksite Walkability

Are your employees walking at work?

Evidence suggests that most Americans need to get more physical activity. Two-thirds of people in the United States weigh more than they should and nearly three-quarters don't get the recommended 30 minutes of physical activity on most days. Because many adults spend 20, 30, or 40 hours or more a week at work, adding physical activity to employees’ workdays may be one way to help working Americans become healthier.

Walking or biking to work is one way to increase physical activity, but for many people it isn't an option. However, for many employees, walking while at work is a way to increase their physical activity.
