The wife of the Rivers State Governor, Lady Valerie Siminalayi Fubara, has stressed the need for wellness exercises to have a healthy life.
Lady Fubara made the assertion during a fitness session with “Rivers Women Unite for SIM”, at the Ecumenical Centre, Abonnema Wharf Road, Port Harcourt on Thursday.
The wife of the Governor, who described exercise as essential to a good health, said exercising can benefit people and make significant improvement in the living conditions of the people.
She observed that irrespective of the age, exercise is significant, given its numerous benefits, encouraging the women to imbibe the culture of exercising.
“Exercise is an essential way to prioritize our health, and I want to emphasize that it’s for everyone. Even at 70, going to 80, you continue to flourish in health. Even if you don’t know how to do any exercise, bear it in mind, you can walk. You’re just walking, and it’s counting for you.”
Lady Fubara asserted that the fitness session was tailored to suit the individual needs of the women, emphasizing the need for togetherness amongst them to achieve healthy and better lives, trusting in God’s guidance and provision.
“While some exercises may be challenging, we’ve tailored our sessions to cater to different needs and abilities. And as a family, we’ll come together to support one another, not to compete. Our goal is simple: to live healthy lives. A healthy heart is the foundation of a healthy life, and it’s never too late to start.
“As we work towards living healthier and better lives, let’s put our trust in God. With faith, we can achieve our goals and overcome challenges. Remember, God’s plans for us are good, and He will provide what we need,” she added.
