Should you be paid to exercise while at work? These Australian researchers think so

Physical inactivity costs Australia more than $2 billion a year, prompting a study to track health outcomes for workers.

Sure. Why not? Should be getting paid to commute too. Also, unpaid lunches need to go.

I have a paid lunch. Everyone takes it but if in that time anything comes up, you get up and you forgo your lunch or eat it later or at your desk.

Once worked for a company that did so. Was the fittest in my life. I guess also the most productive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
