Working out at work

SKANEATELES - According to recent statistics published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the occurrence of obesity in U.S. citizens has risen exponentially in the past decade.

In 2007, the center reported only Colorado had a prevalence of obesity less than 20 percent, while three states - Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee - had a prevalence of greater than 30 percent. Last year was the first time three states exceeded that number.

Part of the reason for the dramatic increase, experts suggest, is the change in workplace habits. As technology advances, people are spending less and less time moving at work and more hours sitting in front of computers.
