A

EROBICS INSTRUCTOR O.J. O’Gilvie ensured that it was

a real Sweatfest on Saturday at the Life Fit Training Centre,

as he took The Gleaner’s Fit 4 Life team and guests through

a heart-pumping routine that worked every muscle and had

everyone sweating from head to toe.

In fact, participants got no mercy from O.J., fitness guru Juliet

Cuthbert Flynn or fitness coach

Marvin Gordon, who took turns

giving everyone a well-deserved

workout, from warm-up to high-

impact aerobics, and straight

into the challenges.

It was a race against the clock

for the WATA challenge, the

fittest of the fit for the legwork

challenge and who could keep

up in the mix-it-up body weight

challenge.

In the end, the winners earned

prizes such as: an Active fitness band from Asafa Powell,

gift baskets from sponsors Foska Oats and Blue

Diamond Almond Milk, Fit 4 Life T-shirts, free

health evaluation from Advantage Physical

Therapy and Rehabilitation, Life Fit

membership, and

Gleaner

-branded

merchandise.

Throughout

the morning,

participants kept

hydrated, thanks to

Fit 4 Life sponsor

WATA, and had their energy renewed with

power shakes, courtesy of sponsors Foska Oats

and Blue Diamond Almond Milk.

Participants also got handouts with nutrition

and exercise tips, courtesy of Fit 4 Life, and

complimentary copies of
