AccountingWEB Energizes Accountants with Daily Fitness Exercises for Busy Season

Columbus, OH (January 27, 2011) - AccountingWEB, the leading online community for accountants, announces a national effort to shape up the busy accountants who are working long hours to keep the nation's finances in order. Accountants call it "Busy Season" with good reason, as a typical professional will put in 12-hour days and work most Saturdays. For all of those who are putting off their time-to-get-in-shape New Year's resolutions until after April 15, AccountingWEB is picking up the gauntlet and positioning itself as a surrogate for workplace fitness.

The Workplace Fitness effort is well underway with thousands already subscribed to the daily e-mail newsletter, "Your Daily Dose of Workplace Fitness." The newsletter reaches inboxes with fitness tips you can do at your desk, ideas for relaxation, and even nutrition tips. Readers are directed to go online where they can find great books, calculate body mass index, and share their healthy recipes.

Editor-in-Chief, Gail Perry, CPA, developed the idea for Workplace Fitness based on her personal experiences in the accounting profession.  "I was on the front lines of the busy season battle for many years. Putting in long hours and eating junk food was the norm. We want to reach out to our readers and give them easy practical advice for staying in shape and not burning out."

Additional information on AccountingWEB's Workplace Fitness is located here: http://www.accountingweb.com/topic/fitness. Workplace Fitness will also features a photo gallery submitted by readers showing them in the gym, taking on the daily fitness challenges, and creating their own personal forms of work/life balance.
