The Weekly Steemit Health Challenge: Fitness For Life

Without exercise the body will become weak and grow old too quick. Many thanks to the principal of my school, as teens, he drilled the hell out of the us. According to him, he believe that workload of school medical staff would reduce if the students are physically fit.

I left high school and the love for exercise remain unaltered, I feel empty if I have no privilege to do it, because physical exercise and healthy living is the reason why I barely visit hospitals.

In developing countries, access to average medical service is a luxury. It only makes sense if we adopt the mantra that says 'prevention is better than cure.'

Without much ado, I am a runner, I enjoy it more than any exercise. I have participated in several long distance race while in the University, I lost and I won.

Fortunately, I live in the state capital and state owned stadium is about 10km from my residence. I spend less than $1 on transportation fare, I don't have a car yet:)

Since I jog twice a week, I am close to being freelancer, I own my time to a large extent. Yeah!
I go to stadium on Sundays and Wednesdays, I go there because seeing people in different demography doing exercises is awesome, it keeps me motivated a lot.

So I was in the stadium yesterday morning, I didn't go alone, I went with my fiancée, she rocked her new sportswear like a queen👑. Damn! Couples should be doing exercise together, that's how to make kids fall in love with it.

We joined a class where a trainer guided us on how to stretch the body without risk of injuries.
