With the current concern for adult obesity and diabetes, and Backup.com.au being in an industry that mostly involves staff sitting in front of a computer all day, the Managing Director of Backup.com.au is trying to get fit. He is attending a group personal training session with Step Into Life two or three times a week. The worst part is he is making us go too!

As a treat and a bonus for the rest of our staff, Backup.com.au now pays for everyone to attend a group personal training session every Friday morning. It is a hard workout, but lots of fun and a great way to unwind at the end of the week. Then, after we have all recovered, the boss takes us all to the city to have lunch in China Town where we can replace the calories that we so cruelly stripped from our bodies.

Around here we call it "Fun Run Yum Cha Friday". ("Biz Cas Fri" was already taken)

We challenge more businesses to engage their staff in some kind of fitness. And no... Footy Tipping does not count as exercise.
