“In caring for the mothers we ultimately care for everyone in the society. We have seen so many mums participate in the campaign with their children, spouses and friends. This will definitely put them on the right path to a healthy lifestyle.”

She further stated that within the duration of the activity, consumers will be encouraged to workout with whatever household material is available to them like buckets, kegs, food trays, water dispenser plastic bottles or do simple routines that do not require expert supervision to accomplish.

As usual, participants have been grouped into three fitness levels: ‘’Newbie (Beginners level), Wannabe (Standard level) and Pro (Advanced level)’’; and consumers are to choose a preferred level they feel most comfortable with.
