Exercise Your Way to a Longer Life
Cigna is proud to support The American Tap Dance Foundation.
Did you know?
Scientific evidence* shows that physical activity can reduce your risk of dying early from many leading causes of death, including heart disease and some cancers. This is remarkable for two reasons:
- Only a handful of lifestyle choices have as big an impact on your health as physical activity. In fact, active people who exercise for just under seven hours a week have a 40% lower risk of dying early than those who are active for less than 30 minutes a week.
- You don't have to exercise vigorously to reduce your risk of premature death. You can lower your risk significantly by engaging in just two hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.
Don't wait. Now's the time to step up your exercise routine. Do it for yourself. Do it for your health. Do it for life.

Cigna is inspired by people just like you! If you have a story about how you use your unique strengths to help you achieve your full potential, we'd love to hear it. You can share your story by sending an email to BusinessCommunications@Cigna.com. |

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Home-grown hoofers from Minneapolis hit the road with a trunk full of tap shoes, funky costumes and a big brass band, ready to burst onto the New Victory stage with FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW! "Heatbox," the human beat box, joins the swingin' seven-piece Root City rockers to accompany each tap, shuffle and stomp with a clang, riff and refrain. It's easy to see why this troupe was a 2012 winner of an Edinburgh Festival "Spirit of the Fringe" Award. In this joyous parade of genre-hopping music and hard-hitting percussive dance, you'll be jumping out of your seat and moving to the beat! |
