Only bank workers in Benin City, Edo State of Nigeria were used for the study. Four research questions were raised to guide the study and four hypotheses were generated to verify the results. A pre-tested questionnaire was utilized to gather data from a sample of 139 participants in five banks in Benin City using the simple random sampling technique. Data were analysed using frequency co unts, percentages and Chi-Square (X2) statistics. Results showed, amongst others, that the level of knowledge of the benefits of physical activities significantly promoted cardiovascular wellness of the bank workers df of 8 (x2=32.58; p < 0.05), though the types of physical activities which they engaged in, did not significantly enhance their cardiovascular wellness, df of 8(x2=10.35; p < 0.05). It is, however, recommended that bank workers should engage in moderate- to-vigorous physical activity of 30-60 minutes duration.
