Corporate Wellness
with Quality Pedometers
Pedometers offer
a Great Addition
(or start) to your Corporate Wellness Program! Walking programs
using pedometers attract wide participation - and great results!
With
the growing costs of company provided health care
benefits – and even higher costs of absenteeism,
companies are becoming more and more interested in helping their
employees become – or stay – healthy and more physically fit. No….
it’s not the responsibility of the employer to manage the fitness of
their employees, but there is no doubt that it is to everyone’s benefit
– employee and employer – to focus attention on this vital subject.
Many companies have developed
Corporate Wellness programs that provide health education and preventive health
services… flu shots, blood pressure monitoring, screenings for various
conditions, etc. All are great programs. But what about the fitness
side of the health equation? It seems that every study we read tells us
that most of us are not physically ‘fit’ – and this condition is
contributing - or even causing - many health concerns. Some progressive companies
provide fitness activities – but they can often be expensive and can often
require time that limits wide participation.
We don’t offer a magical solution to this
growing issue…but we do offer a tool that can help motivate virtually
everyone to be more physically active without requiring great
expense or time. The Pedometer.
Virtually everyone agrees that more physical
activity is a requirement of good overall health – and good health
is good for business. Introducing and offering this
simple and inexpensive device – the Pedometer
– may provide the additional daily motivation that they (we)
need to be more physically active. There’s a saying in business
“You can’t manage what you can’t measure” – and that’s the exact
principle that makes the Step Counter Pedometer such a successful
fitness tool - and allows each user to 'manage' their fitness activities. It measures fitness activity by simply counting your
steps. And… as it counts your steps – you become very aware of your
activity level. This awareness can generate the motivation that we need
to stay focused on fitness. More activity (steps) = more fitness.
Simply clip it on your belt or waistband – hit the reset key – and it’s
ready to go. Sounds too simple – but it works!
Additionally, the Pedometer
can be a foundation for team activities: Friendly competition between
internal teams, walking groups during lunch or before/after work,
weekend activities, plus many, many more. All can result in more
physical activity and that can result in better overall health –
something that all of us need. The Step Counter Pedometer is not the
‘solution’ to all wellness issues – but, it is a tool that can be very
helpful to a very wide audience. It takes your Corporate Wellness
Program beyond 'passive' - and creates an 'active' program!
We offer Pedometers with
generous quantity discounts for corporate wellness programs. (Click
here for pricing information).
This innovative approach to employee
fitness is designed to compliment your other programs…but,
we
think it may be a favorite of your employees. Some of our
customers are seeing participation levels in excess of 90%.
Incredible for any corporate sponsored fitness program!

Complimenting your Corporate Wellness Program
with this very effective fitness tool (pedometer) can provide a very
positive boost to your corporate wellness activities - and yield
quantifiable results!
One recommendation.....be sure to purchase
high quality pedometers. Don't be tempted with the very low price
offered by some. If you are only paying a few dollars for a
pedometer - you're probably getting a 'promotional quality'
pedometer....one that is designed as a give-away and not intended for
serious use. Using that type of pedometer in your wellness program
can undermine the benefits by creating problems
(accuracy/breakage/battery issues/etc). Invest a few dollars more
in a high quality pedometer (like we sell, of course!) and you'll
get a pedometer that is accurate - durable - and supported with a great
warranty!
