AUSactive would like to express gratitude to the 18 Senators and Federal MPs, along with over 100 of their staff, for their support of the `Fit for Office` four-week physical activity challenge. This initiative aims to promote the significance of regular exercise for both mental and physical health. They will monitor their physical activity using a Myzone heart rate monitor.
This discussion becomes even more crucial on RUOK Day, which raises awareness about mental health. Mental well-being concerns have now become the third most prevalent health issue in Australia, following heart disease and cancer.
Dr. Ben Singh, the lead researcher at UniSA, asserts that most forms of exercise, regardless of their nature, can bring about positive changes in one`s mental health. He states, "We have discovered that various types of physical activity and exercise, including aerobic exercises like walking, resistance training, Pilates, and yoga, all yield beneficial effects."
The data suggests that physical activity could be up to 1.5 times more effective than counselling or medications.
If you wish to support our dedicated politicians, enhance your well-being, and engage in this campaign, please visit our website for information on how to participate: https://ausactive.org.au/fitforoffice/
