Encourages community to also take part in the free Zumba classes
Philipsburg:--- The Prime Minister of St. Maarten the Honorable Sarah Wescot-Williams will continue the U 2 Can Move fitness campaign this Friday with a special Mother's Day Zumba Edition. "This Friday's Zumba session is especially dedicated to all Mothers. I would like to see to all mothers out there that Friday will be your chance to work off of all of the Johnny cakes and chicken that I am sure you enjoyed in the village during Carnival and to get fit for your Mother's Day on Sunday. Also I would like to say that yes the initial idea was to encourage civil servants to take part in these fitness programs but I would also like to encourage the wider community to come out and participate," commented the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister has stated previously that the Zumba sessions and other events are a part of a larger fitness campaign where she encourages Civil Servants and the community in general to take their health and fitness seriously. "There is much we can do for ourselves as individuals and as a country as far as good health is concerned. Information, diet and exercise are the basic ABC's to good health and are valuable in any situation. I want to encourage our health institutions, practitioners and NGO's in this field to focus on educating our community on aspects of health and I call on all, especially our women, to take responsibility for their health, regular check-ups, and to heed warning signs such as aches and pains," the Prime Minister said.
