This year\u2019s edition of the Luv\/Nhyira FM Fitness Walk in Kumasi attracted hundreds of participants, including many people from the corporate world.<\/p>\n

It is arguably the biggest health and wellness program in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

The event started with an aerobic session and \u2018Jama\u2019 morale booster to warm up participants for the walk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The nine-kilometre walk required stamina and endurance, especially for first-time participants to complete the journey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It started from the Kumasi City Mall through to Ahodwo roundabout, to Adum, then descending to Asafo interchange, Amakom through Stadium and back to the Mall. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am in a wheelchair, but my condition does not deter me. On the contrary, it\u2019s a joy to be out exercising every time. Indeed I wish Luv and Nhyira FM will organise this program weekly,\u201d said a physically-challenged patron.<\/p>\n

Another said, \u201cyou can see I am in a cloth instead of a tracksuit. It is a representation of our ancestors when they used to jog. We are jogging for good health\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWalks like this have kept a 61-year-old like me fit. So I entreat everyone to come out from their houses to join,\u201d a lady participant said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sponsors of the Luv\/Nhyira FM Fitness Walk treated participants to meals and other giveaways packages. <\/p>\n

\u201cThose of us in the corporate environment do not get the chance to exercise. So this is a good initiative by Luv FM. Our reps are also interacting with the crowd in a bid to get more clients,\u201d said Raheemat Boakye, a representative of GT Bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kwame Ampofo, Brands Marketer for Affi Plantain Chips, also said, \u201cOur outfit made a good move by partnering with Luv FM. People are crowding our stands to have a bite of our chips. It will be a good thing if this event is organised weekly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams Majeed Mahama, the Area Manager, North for Izwe Savings and Loans, said, \u201d It was a great networking experience for us at Izwe. We hope Luv FM will organise more of such events to bring Kumasi together,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CEO of Kokowura, Abigail Amoakowaah Bekoe, used the event to market her brand to patrons of the walk. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe feedback from the crowd is encouraging. They were treated to some of our sumptuous breakfast packages. Thank you, Multimedia, for organising this program,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Luv\/Nhyira FM Fitness Walk coordinator, Eric Inkoom, said he is impressed with the turnout. He appreciated sponsors and patrons for making the event a success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
