Fitness is a lifestyle not just a phace. I have embraced it and I try as much as possible to influence those around me to love it. As you all know , I left my former city of residence to a new city where I am working. That means living behind my well established fitness group known as StayFit. Yes, I had to entrust @kidi40 with it and he is doing great. I have also assisted him to join the well established and registered fitness instructors group to help boost his image as an instructor.

When I came into my new city of residence, I first introduced myself to my school gym where I was also welcomed to instruct clients. But I rented an apartment far from my school and as such, it has been very difficult for me to join the gym, at least not always. So, I did my best to introduce fitness to people around me and eventually found a school with an open field where I can train my group.

We began this journey since November last year though we only meet once a week while I try my best on other days to join my school gym. Some fitness enthusiasts have been joining us since then such that I had to create a WhatsApp group for the fitness members. It has been very wonderful ever since and we have been recording Increases.

Our first fruit workout

Just last week Monday after our exercise, it came to my mind to try something and that is hosting a fruit workout day. As soon as I announced it, everyone bought the Idea and promised to send cash to purchase it. Guess what? The response was alarming! Even those I didn't think of. Here below are our contributions screenshot and what we bought with it

At the end, we still had a surplus of three thousand Naira left.

One of us volunteered to buy and prepare the fruit salad. And she did an excellent job! Sent me these pictures as she was carrying out that duty

	she then mixed all as shown
	and then shared to everyone

Each member received a small pack of liquid milk to enjoy it with. The taste was yummy 😋😋😋!

But we didn't eat this salad until we were done with our exercises. We decided to put on blue colour jersey . We converged at our location and did our programs. First, it was walking, then jogging, then running up and down the stairs, then foot tap, and 5 others before we stretched and dismissed. After eating the fruits, we took group pictures and played football

Looking for a suitable name for this new fitness group

I love taking whatever I do to the next level. I didn't just want us to continue working out without being properly identified. As soon as I got home, I began scouting for a name for the group. I was presented with several options but in the end, I was able to settle for this one below 👇

ActiveLife Fitness Nation (AFN)

Yes, I settled for this and the slogan or our motto is

Stay Active. Stay Strong.

Yes, the brain behind this name is the fact that we all need to stay active in life through exercises and because we are a nation, being able to carry out our first fruit workout without any need to ask others for help. It goes beyond that but that will be for another day.

I started designing the image so that I can charge profile picture of our group. Sew what I could lay my hands on. It is still work in progress

It's a thing of joy to be able to start afresh and get to this stage already. Though we have some challenges of getting some equipments for the programs, but it is one step at a time.
