If my experience is any guide, it'd be understandable because any gain in physical health would be more than offset by a loss of mental health by engaging in such a stupefyingly boring activity.

How many miles do you have to ride to be able to pay for the Garmin?

Seriously, it does sound like a good deal, they probably save that much in health expenses.

Sounds like a great idea to me. It probably won't motivate the unhealthy ones to change but it might. If every business did this im sure it would make a change in some peoples lives. Plus, t is a very friendly program to over. At the very least it helps create a positive attitude towards working there and this would more than make up the cost IMO
