Record-high inflation has us cutting expenses, especially to anything we think of as a “luxury”, like fitness memberships. But you don’t need to belong to a gym or own fancy equipment to get the benefits of an active lifestyle. A thread: 5 simple ways to get active on a budget 🧵

A positive announcement today from the @albertaNDP on eliminating the small business tax rate. This is one of CFIB's top asks in our election platform that 74% of Alberta small business owners support.

A call to arms -- and shoulders and pecs and abs. No more ‘girl’ push-ups washingtonpost.com/wellness/…
No more ‘girl’ push-ups

No more ‘girl’ push-ups

Girls and women often are encouraged to do modified push-ups, starting from their knees, instead of the full-body version that is standard for boys and men.

At my gym on the first day they are back to full capacity since March 2020. The fitness industry has been one of the hardest hit and most poorly treated since the pandemic began. CFIB is proud to go to bat for this important sector.

The federal government's dissolution of the CEWS and CERS means that more fitness facilities will be forced to close their doors. @ficdn is asking for proper support for the industry - a level playing field with tourism and hospitality. newswire.ca/news-releases/fi…

On National Health and Fitness Day I'm participating in my favourite fitness activity, running. Not only does running benefit my physical health, it's also one of my favourite ways to take care of my mental health too.

Safety, and mental and physical health are top priorities; $4-billion industry under intense economic pressure, at risk without adequate government support; “Canadians are in real danger of losing many of their neighborhood gyms and boutique studios." newswire.ca/news-releases/na…

Working out in someone else's sweat may be gross, but it won’t give you COVID-19. @AndrewChangCBC with what you need to know if you're hitting the gym during the pandemic.
