As The Gleaner's Fit4Life team continued on its journey with
Jamaica to a fitter life, early Saturday morning we headed to the Longville
Park Community Centre in Longville Park, Clarendon, to work out with the
residents.
Fit4Life's fitness coach, Marvin Gordon, and co-host
Amashika Lorne took the young and old, fit and not so fit through a series of
exercises - from warm-up to intense to cool down - for about an hour. Each
participant was determined to muscle through every exercise routine Gordon set
for them, some taking time out when it got too intense, but eventually got
right back into it.
When it was done, some dropped to the ground, sweat-soaked
after a full-body workout session.
The power shakes provided by sponsors Foska Oats and Blue
Diamond Almond Milk were more than welcome to give back some energy. As were
the refreshing bottles of water from sponsor Wata.
For their gallant efforts, several residents were presented
with gifts, such as Kamp Kamila Fitness gift packages, Fit4Life T-shirts and
Gleaner-branded merchandise. Participants also got handouts with nutrition
tips, courtesy of Fit4Life.
Hats off to the Longville Park residents, Jamaica Moves team
members and members of the Longville Park football team who came out.
