- By Barakat Abdullahi and Hauwa Sayeed

Elite Wellness has called on Nigerians to imbibe the habit of healthy living and engage in fitness programmes to reduce the increasing cases of heart disease.

The company as part of its commitment to promote physical activities and help sustainabl­e healthy lifestyle, unveiled Myrun Technogym, a new iconic product for home fitness training.

According to the General Manager Margherita Trestini, the Technogym is a revolution­ary treadmill, designed by runners for runners; a product created to offer the best training experience.

“The data from the World Health Organizati­on are clear: cardiovasc­ular diseases due to sedentary habits, poor diet, and smoking are associated with the deaths of 17 million people every year.

“It wouldn’t take much to reduce this situation as authoritat­ive studies show that just 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day reduces the risk of cardiovasc­ular disease by over 40%.

“Awareness of the importance of physical activity as a powerful preventive tool is spreading rapidly: people are becoming more and more aware that in order to stay healthy they have to get moving! But the real problems are motivation and consistenc­y.

“The machine can be integrated perfectly in any environmen­t because of its minimal, stylish design combining top performanc­e with a compact footprint and high-tech, top quality, sturdy materials.”

She noted that over 20 million people around the world, in over 50,000 fitness facilities and 20,000 private homes work out with Technogym equipment.
