Hey guys..If you are an ipohrian, check out Ipoh Echo-Issue 69..My dearest granny is in it =P
Anyway, if you guys out there wants to know about it,here's the cut..
MBI Sports Club organized an Aerobathon for the benefit of Ipohties at the Polo Ground recently. The organizers had anticipated a hundred participants. However, on the day of the event 160 signed up. The response was overwhelming, said Jamunarani, the club secretary.
The contest was divided into 4 age groups between 20 to above 50. Contestants were put through a series of physical exercises lasting two hours non-stop. There were four instructors to guide the contestants, through the routines. Other than the contestants, the regular morning joggers joined in the fun.
Interestingly, the oldest contestant, Puan Khadijah,71 completed the full 2-hour aerobics unscathed and in the process, outperformed some of her more junior members. She won a consolation prize in the above 50 category. Khadijah exercises 5 days a week averaging an hour a day. She does aerobics, runs on the tread mill and does basic workout in a gym. This is possible because Khadijah's daughter, Suzyla, manages a fitness centre at Rapat Setia. 'Mum has a clean bill of health-zero problems-not even osteoporisis,'said Suzyla.
Hehe..proud of her =P
