The milk-chocolate company will attempt a World Record for the longest human chain to pass through a hula hoop as part of its Nestlé ‘Healthylicious’ Health and Wellness Day, which is open to the public.
This record-breaking attempt will highlight World Heart Day on the following day, 29 September, and encourage South Africans to stay fit and healthy through fun activities for the whole family like hula hooping.
“We’re inviting the public to come and be part of this record-breaking attempt. Hula hooping as a sport is fun, affordable and the whole family can join in,” said Naazneen Khan, Nestlé South Africa Wellness Manager.
“South Africa is one of the top three countries in the world in obesity rankings, after the United States of America and Great Britain. We’re a nation that loves watching sport, but we should be playing more sport ourselves.”
The Nestlé ‘Healthylicious’ Health and Wellness Day on 28 September is taking place from 10am to 5pm at Zoo Lake and activities such as free health consultations with independent nurses and dietitians and fun hula hooping classes for all will be offered on the day.
What you need to know if you’re participating in the Guinness World Record attempt:
- All participants must be holding hands
- The hula hoop will be a standard size hoop
- You’ll be photographed and videotaped
- Each person who participates will be able to redeem a certificate of participation.
Hula hooping is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, so it’s time to brush up on those hula hooping skills you acquired as a child and start moving your hips.
