Worksites

Texercise is a great way for organizations to engage their employees in a fun and challenging fitness program.

People who are inactive are more likely to develop chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke or diabetes. By providing an exercise/wellness program within your organization, you can improve employee morale and reduce health care costs.

Texercise provides you with the necessary tools and support to assist employees and coworkers in living a healthy lifestyle.

Some Texercise resources include:

• Fit for the Health of It! 12-week Texercise Program
• Posters that can be placed around your worksite to promote fitness
• Fact sheets on health topics such as hydration, injury prevention and tobacco cessation
