We did a cholestrol screening last Friday (I passed, yeah!!!) but I know where this is all stemming from.  The big-wig in the company at the National level is big on fitness.  When she has a meeting she starts it off with situps or jumping jacks or some other exercise (that you can do in a chair thankfully) and ends it with the same, to keep the blood flowing and the folks healthier.  So now at all of our offices we have these health screenings, health walks (take time out of the office to walk a mile in the parking lot), and booklets of exercises you can do at your desk.

I would have a problem with the health screenings, if they were putting them in any official record.  Luckily, for now, they are only capturing the names of those who participate, and none of the results.  If that changes, I may rethink my participation.
