Sufficient resources to carry out a fitness program that allows the employee to conduct a minimum of 1 - 2  one hour fitness programs per week (to average at least 52 sessions per calendar year). 20 minutes of these programs are to consist of continuous aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, stationary bike, etc.)
Health experts agree that a minimum of 2 -3 hour exercise workouts per week are optimum to maintain normal physical fitness levels. Many ORO employees walk, jog, run, or exercise during their lunch periods. ORO recognizes that official travel, and/or illness or other circumstances may prevent an employee from adhering to such a stringent schedule at the primary fitness facility.

Facilities that are not open at least 5 days per week severely restrict capability of employees to tailor a fitness program that best fits their available time
