Participants captured during the health walk
Founder and Chairman of the Aristocrats Fraternity, Ohene Danquah Agyeman Duah, has ardently called on men to engage themselves in regular exercise patterns in order to enable them stay healthy devoid of lifestyle diseases.
He made this clarion call during a health walk and aerobic sessions organised by the Aristocrats Fraternity, which commenced from the Ayi Mensah Toll Booth and ended at Peduase, in the Eastern Region.
Dubbed the “Aristocrats Mega Walk”, it marks the fourth edition where over hundreds of individuals participated in the six kilometer walk with morale songs and climaxed with aerobics.
Feeling rejuvenated, participants were excited to participate in all the activities which enabled them burn calories in order to keep fit.
Duah admonished men to take exercise seriously because it plays a crucial role in men’s health and has a lot of benefits which aid in improving their wellness.
Highlighting on cardiovascular health, he noted that, aerobic exercise strengthens the heart, reducing the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke among other lifestyle diseases.
Adding that, regular aerobic exercise helps in weight management and maintenance, reducing the risk of obesity-related health issues.
Aerobics, he said, could reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, which helps in promoting overall mental well-being.
According to him, aerobic exercise boosts energy levels, improving overall physical and mental fitness.
Duah noted that regular aerobic exercise can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and high blood pressure.
“Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week,” he admonished.
