Fitness carnival for Gaborone

Frederick Kebadiretse Staff Writer

Mutizira says while in the past the majority of participants were from Botswana, they are expecting more participants from neighbouring countries like South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, as they try to increase the popularity of the event in the region. He says over 100 people have already registered for this year's event and they are expecting registrations to pour in this week leading up to Saturday.

The fun filled day will see instructors teach several fitness classes while there will also be individual and group competitions. Participants will compete in three categories of classes of high-low, Kata-Bo and step. High-lo classes involve interval training that encompasses high intensity exercises followed by low intensity ones. Kata-Bo on the other hand is a combination of martial arts movement and other gross body movement exercises geared at gaining overall fitness and weight control. There will also be a fun Zumba class held early in the morning to break the ice. Zumba is a dance that entails rigorous dance movements performed to gain fitness and for weight control. Competitions will be divided in to beginner and advanced categories which will be sub-divided into adult and youth groups.

Local instructors are expected to showcase their prowess in fitness and also test their mettle against tough instructors from other countries. Mutizira says the primary objective of the carnival is to promote healthy lifestyles through fitness as well as sharing ideas on the best and current models used in fitness. Yarona FM and O3 refreshments are among companies that support the carnival. Individual entry for the event comes at a price of P260, while a corporate group is charged P1,900

Meanwhile, the annual Fatboy Challenge is in full swing and enters its fourth week today. The initiative, a brainchild of Yarona FM and Chyna's Kata-Bo, sees popular media personalities and company executives shed off weight and get fit to raise money for charity. The participants are once again under the tutelage of renowned fitness instructor Tshephang 'Chyna' Mokaila of Chyna's Kata-Bo who has become synonymous with the challenge.The challenge has gained a lot of popularity in its four years of existence and President Ian Khama participated in the previous two editions.
