The Senior Pastor of CEDARS House of Grace, Rev. Niyi Eboda, has emphasised the needs for regular fitness exercises.
Exercises, he said, have the capacity to tame depression and other emotional as well as physical conditions.
He spoke at the 6 km fitness walk tagged FIT4LIFE by the church in Lekki, Lagos.
Fliers, air fresheners for cars, water bottles and energy-boosting drinks were distributed freely by church members during the exercise.
There were also aerobics sessions for the participants.
Eboda, addressing the participants, said that emotional fitness is a consequence of physical and spiritual well-being.
“When your mind is stayed on God’s word, you have peace and you are stable, no matter the challenges life throws at you,” he stated.
He noted that bodily exercise carries some profits and helps in staying fit for life’s opportunities, adding that although opportunities always come, they are never static.
He stated further that the fitness walk is about helping people stay fit, knowing fully well that though one is ageing, one can slow down the ageing process by staying fit.
Eboda stressed that staying fit emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally come through regular fitness exercises.
This, he said, will also make people be in their best shape for life.
He posited that FIT4LIFE was coined from the idea of one staying fit for one’s entire life.
He charged the federal government to put in place infrastructure that would aid and support regular fitness in Nigeria.
