The answer from Internet Fitness • fit·ness (f t n s) • n. • 1. The state or condition of being physically sound and healthy, especially as the result of exercise and proper nutrition. • 2. A state of general mental and physical well-being. • 3. The state of being suitably adapted to an environment.
We can measure the wellness in this way. How Exercise Helps Here are the facts: Most older adults don't get enough physical activity. Lack of physical activity and poor diet combined are the second largest underlying cause of death in the United States (after smoking). Exercise can help older people feel better and enjoy life more, even those who think they're too old or out of shape. Regular exercise can improve some diseases and disabilities in older people who already have them. It can improve mood and relieve depression, too. Staying physically active can help prevent or delay certain diseases (like degenerative spinal disorders) and disabilities as people grow older.

Two recent surveys, one on wellness programs and one on health savings accounts, studied these concerns. A study by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans found that nearly two-thirds of employers (62%) offer wellness programs, but few are able to measure the return on their investment in these plans. About 36% of the 464 respondents to the survey offer wellness plans as a standalone program, while another 26% said they offered such programs as part of their group health plan. Fifteen percent of the respondents said they do not currently offer any wellness initiative, but they plan to do so within the next 12 months. Almost one-quarter of the respondents (23%) do not offer any program and have no plans to do so. Most of the employers surveyed that offer wellness programs (87%) said that they did not know the return on investment amount for dollars spent by their organization on wellness initiatives, IFEBP said in its findings released last month. At least two reasons contribute to the difficulty of measuring the return on wellness
