The Financial Benefits are Staggering.

The financial benefits of delivering weight loss and living an active lifestyle are significant. According to a study from RTI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obese individuals spent $1,429 (42%) more for medical care in 2006 than did normal weight people (Source: CDC press release dated July 27, 2009). In addition, the Physical Inactivity Cost Calculator states that the lost productivity cost of a physically inactive employee earning $30,000 per annum is $2,471 and likely to incur $180 in medical care costs.

In summary, the medical cost of obesity is over $1,400/year and the productivity cost of inactivity is nearly $2,500/year.
