Thank god I'm self employed and decide myself when and what to exercise. I can't imagine having to dance to the pipes of these corporate clowns. 18 people being scrutinized by their bosses collectively lose 150 lbs (25 of which are accounted for by 1 person)? I can't say I'm impressed.

Why not just go outside for a run around the block? You'd get an actual health benefit from your heart rate being elevated for at least 20 minutes.

From the article: "But regular exercise doesn’t entirely make up for the shutdown of chemical processes that occurs during long periods of sitting, research has shown."

....yeah, that's why you stop sitting, get up, go for a run at lunch time. it's also recommended you get up every so often and walk around a bit (coffee breaks are good for this)

I hope that's stock photography. Working out in a business suit is offensive. I can't even wear my hoodie at the gym without overheating. And I look like that dude on the left.

Just sayin'.

(explicitly I am just sayin' that we need to revisit the expectations of attire if we're going to conflate the notions of work and exercise).

I'm pretty sure they're moving at a slow-ish walk, not running. The point is regular low levels of physical activity, not hard core cardio during your meeting.
