If I owned a company, I would allow at least 45-60 minutes a day for exercise on my dime--if the job was sedentary--like office jobs. A lot of jobs are so rigorous, I wouldn't expect my workers to exercise more. That might be the only benefit to blue collar jobs? I think if office workers exercised more, they might be happier, and more productive? I would let the workers come to work in sweats, if they wanted. Never understood uncomfortable clothes--especially when most employees never interact with the public?

If I found the majority of employees just abused the gift; I would squash the program.

I have used exercise as a drug my entire life. Started in 5th grade, and kept running. I don't run like I used too, but still get in daily rigorous walks. In my late forties, I didn't exercise--for various reasons. I have further found exercise does help with anxiety, but I had some bouts of anxiety that didn't respond to any exercise. Anxiety so bad only drugs seemed to help. Everyone chemistry is different though?
