Gym Fitness for Women

Because of the "obesity" of the Canadian population would you consider financial assistance to health clubs.?

This could be a boost to people who are overweight but cannot afford to join the Y etc., It would also assist in taking some pressure off of our health services.

1. My company pays my gym fees. If you are asked to work in an office environment you must go to the gym to maintain your health. I would say that companies should pay gym memberships and pay 1 hour a day for time at the gym. That would be cool and motivate people to go.
2. Absolutely. Well, I live in Europe, but I believe anyone should have economic support for exercise and alternative methods like massage, reflexology, etc.. I think this would be beneficial for the economy, as more people would be more healthy.
3. A ten minute video demonstrating basic military PT should suffice and save a lot of money. You don't need much space to use your own bodyweight around and still get in better shape than most people do with tons of equipment. Want weights? Get a sandbag. Need aerobic fitness..lace up your shoes and carry that sandbag up a hill. It is real simple folks.
