How much would someone have to pay you to exercise?

If you’re an IBM employee, exercising 3 times a week scores you $150.
They’ll even pay you $150 for filling out your health record and another $150 if you stop smoking.

IBM is spending $130 million on “Wellness incentives”. Paid health time instead of paid sick time.
Studies show $1 spent on wellness = $3 saved on health care.

That lunch time power walk can actually save you money.
