Other activities include a monthly fitness and exercise program like tae-bo and aerobics and programs on tobacco control, lifestyle physical activity, healthy diet and weight control, stress management and control of alcohol use.
Asis said that for the provincial employees to avail of the project, they should register as members from January 3 to 14. Upon registration, the employees will undergo evaluation of their physical history to determine what activities they can avail of.
