KUWAIT: Proper exercise and a healthy lifestyle are being promoted at the Marina Mall by 'Fit4Fun' - a health club for kids and teens based in Mahboula.

The group will be organizing various exercises until Saturday in celebration of 'World Health Day'. This year's theme, '1000 cities, 1000 lives' will focus on urbanization and health with the goal of encouraging healthy activities in public spaces, whether it's in parks, town hall meetings, a clean-up campaign or closing off portions of streets to motorized vehicles.

World Health Day was first created in 1948 to mark the founding of the World Health Organisation (WHO). Since 1950, it has been celebrated on April 7 each year with a different annual theme to highlight a priority or a concern.

In Kuwait, World Health Day activities are sponsored by Fit4Fun. They started their four-day event outside of the Marina Mall compound yesterday. Everyone is welcome to join, have fun and learn about the importance of proper exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Peter Fitz, Managing Director for Fit4Fun invited everyone to take advantage of the free demo and exercise tips from professionals.

Our goal is to encourage people to indulge in the proper way of managing their lives through several exercise techniques," Fritz said. "We'll be here at the Marina Mall compound to promote healthy living.

In addition to live demonstrations of physical activities by professional instructors, visitors can also enjoy checkups on their body fat, muscle mass and check the percentage of water in their body. Games and other activities for children are available for the duration of the four-day celebration.

Fit4Fun is a private health club promoting healthy living through physical activities like dancing, martial arts, yoga, beach games and climbing. Fit4Fun embraces modern technology and transforms video games into challenging workouts. "We encourage the young to exercise in order to help them maintain a healthy life," Fritz enthused.
