Event Description

The global outbreak of Covid-19 and the ensuing lockdown has brought our lives to a standstill, in many ways. The new normal is a far cry from our regular routines. While the main concern is to stay safe from the Coronavirus, we can’t ignore the other physical and mental issues that are cropping up, due to the uncertainty, panic and chaos brought about by this unprecedented crisis. 

 

Our work has shifted online, and most of our other day-to-day needs are also being met online largely, since stepping out is not a viable option. Our fitness requirements are no different. Exercise remains central to healthy living. Regular physical activity has profound effects on the immune system, apart from promoting mental well-being. In short, people need to stay active, and keeping this idea in mind, Fit Bengaluru decided to launch a virtual edition.

Commenting on this initiative, Ms. Uzma Irfan – Director, Prestige Group said, “The 4th Edition of Fit Bengaluru was scheduled for July 2020. However, given the current scenario, we felt that people needed some motivation now, to work out regularly, while being confined in their homes. Moreover, this pandemic is leading to a lot of mental illness as well. People who were germophobic have now become paranoid. People with anxiety issues are now depending on medication to function. A lot of people are expected to develop agoraphobia (fear of stepping out) by the time this crisis passes. Hence, there is an urgent need to help people stay distracted, motivated and as stress-free as possible, during this period. Our itinerary for Fit Bengaluru therefore, includes not just proper workouts, but also other forms of therapy aimed at helping people de-stress. We already have a lot of excited participants, and we hope that you all will also make the most of this initiative to stay healthy and happy in this difficult time.”
