Corporate wellness programs can be realistically implemented without the cost. Lt. Col. Weinstein, author, professional speaker and beach boot camp instructor, just released his new book, Change Made Easy - Your Basic Training Orders to Excellent Physical and Mental Health, published by Advantage Books in Orlando, Florida. His book is a guide to values-based healthy living without all the hype and product promotions. It is designed for corporate wellness programs, youth programs, health and fitness professionals and people who have always or never exercised.
"80 % of American executives feel that corporate America has a responsibility to promote wellness according to a study conducted by the American Management Association."
"Less than 20 % of U.S. employers offer lifestyle modification services. 4 % offer smoking cessation programs according to a study conducted by the American Journal of Health Promotion."
Asked about this discrepancy between these studies, Col. Weinstein had this to say, "The health crisis is fueled by a predominant culture of unhealthy living at school, at work, at home and at play. Change the culture and you will solve the health crisis. Corporate wellness programs are paramount to changing the culture."
Asked how his book will contribute to solving the health crisis and lack of corporate wellness programs, Col. Weinstein replied, "With my book, Change Made Easy, I offer an out-of-the-box corporate wellness solution that can be implemented within a week and bring about results as soon as four weeks."
His book is excellent as a wellness handbook for individual employees, departments, managers, junior and senior executives.
An emphasis of health insurance as being the solution to our health care crisis is the very cause of 70 to 80 % of the costs for treatments of illnesses and diseases.
"According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 75% of employers' health care costs and productivity losses are related to employee lifestyle choices. The solution is simple. Change the lifestyle and you will fix the problem." Yes, it can and must be done. The present economic crisis is an opportunity for every one of us to do some soul searching and make some very fundamental changes about how we lead our lives.
Col. Weinstein's book cuts straight to the heart of the matter and offers real, cost effective, solutions that are easy to implement:
How to solve the health crisis.
How to implement a corporate wellness program.
How to manage your weight.
How to organize and implement your own fitness boot camp program.
How to exercise with little or no equipment.
How to establish goals and measure performance.
How to eat.
How to enhance performance and productivity.
How to build strong character.
How to have a meaningful spiritual life.
Over $ 510 billion on medical care was spent on chronic conditions in the year 2000. By 2020, this amount will balloon to over $ 1 trillion, according to The National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. That's about the equivalent of one economic bailout per year.
