Fight lifestyle diseases through exercise
Lack of physical activity is one of the contributing factors to lifestyle diseases, such as obesity and other illnesses
It’s for this reason the City of Ekurhuleni initiated a Fit for Free Aerobics Marathon programme last year – a mass athletic session involving about 33 community aerobics clubs.
The Ekurhuleni Fit For Free Aerobics Marathon is back on December 10, at the Dries Niemandt Park (Kempton Park) at 7am.
All residents are invited to spend three hours of aerobics sessions.
At its inception, the programme was only offered in the communities of Katlehong, Vosloorus, Tembisa, Daveyton, Kwa-Thema and Tsakane.
Now the programme has expanded to Reiger Park, Thokoza, Palm Ridge, Zonkezizwe, Dawn Park, Spruitview, Duduza, Etwatwa, Phomolong, Germiston, Rondebult, Wattville and Dunnottar.
Other new areas include, Winnie Mandela, Esselen Park, Birchleigh, Tswelopele, Alra Park, Langaville, Green Valley in Buhle Park, Boksburg North, Dukathole and Villa Lisa.
Buses have been arranged to transport participants. Participants are requested to be at pick up points by 6am.
