Changes in the State Health Plan that threaten to penalize some overweight employees starting in 2011 raise the question: What's available at work to help faculty and staff members lose weight and live healthier lives? 

Employees in the College of Natural Resources (CNR) are showing what can be done, on their own, to improve their health and fitness.  The program, called CNR Fit for Life, was launched last May to give employees in the college a free and easy option for exercising during their lunch break.
