How would you react if your employer told you they were concerned with your growing waistline and highly suggested you hit the gym before work?

An official in Turkey is worried about the growing waistlines of government workers, so he's allowing employees to show up to work late so that they can exercise first.

Dursun Ali Şahin, the governor of the Turkish province of Edirne, has created an exercise plan for government workers called "Our Cure is Sport."

Not only are employees to arrive an hour later to work so they can exercise in the mornings, but a nutritionist has also been made available to help each employee come up with a workout plan for his or her needs.
