Imagine a world where the emphasis is placed on preventing health issues before they arise, rather than on treating them after they've developed. This vision is at the heart of a petition launched by AusActive, which advocates for an innovative approach to healthcare: making gym and studio memberships tax deductible. In today's challenging economic environment, gym memberships are frequently among the first expenses to be cut from household budgets. However, if these memberships were made more affordable through tax incentives, it could significantly boost public engagement in regular physical activity. This policy could serve as a foundational step towards a healthier society, where individuals are encouraged and financially supported to take proactive steps in managing their wellness. Such a shift not only promises to improve individual health outcomes but also to reduce the overall burden on our healthcare system by prioritising prevention over treatment. Link to sign below 🙌

ONLY DO IT, IF YOUR ALIVE By Richard J. Wolff, RDN In 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published the first edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAGA's). These guidelines served as a call to action, recommending all adults add Strength Training to their lifestyle. Ten years later, the PAGA's were updated to include adults in their nineties. In other words, if your alive, you should be Strength Training! Getting more adults to embrace the Strength Training Lifestyle will improve the health of our nation. Achieving this will require a shift in how we think. First, everyone needs to realize that Evidence-Based Strength Training can prevent and, in some cases, reverse chronic disease. And second, we need to prioritize the health benefits of Strength Training, instead of focusing on big biceps. Scientists have been calling for a simple approach to Strength Training that emphasizes health for years. MEDFITNESS is a Strength Training studio.
