With the aim of adding their bit to the national call for Guyanese to adopt healthy lifestyles, the Hugh Ross Classic Committee yesterday held a fitness walk around the outer circuit of the National Park to encourage their fellow to maintain such a positive attitude towards remaining healthy.
Led by Hugh Ross and Banks DIH Non Alcoholic Brand Manager Clayton McKenzie, the dozens of participants decked out in their Malta Supreme tee shirts stated that they enjoyed the early morning walk which started at the National Park saw them going East along Thomas Lands, North into J.B Singh Highway, West into Carifesta Avenue, South into Camp Street, East into Lamaha Street, North into Albert Street ending at the starting point.
Participants going through some stretches led by Fitness Instructor Curtis McKenzie at the National Park yesterday.
Popular Fitness Instructor Curtis McKenzie then took the participants through some light stretches, a session which they also enjoyed.
Also among the group yesterday was Popular TV News Anchor and Manager of Capitol News, Enrico Woolford who complimented Banks DIH and the organisers for bringing off the event which he said was refreshing.
Clayton McKenzie and Ross and thanked all those who turned out for the walk and encouraged them to continue along a similar vein.
