Lack of physical activity is one of the contributing factors to lifestyle diseases such as obesity and other illnesses.
It is 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.
At its inception, the programme was only offered in the communities of Katlehong, Vosloorus, Tembisa, Daveyton, KwaThema 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.
All residents are invited to spend three hours of aerobics sessions offered every Saturday morning.
Buses have been arranged to transport participants.
Buses will be leaving Tsakane from the Faranani Multipurpose Centre and the Calcot Dhlepu Clinic.
Participants are requested to be at pick-up points by 6am.
