UNDER the auspices of the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, scores of students and athletes from various disciplines turned out at the Guyana National Stadium yesterday, to observe World Challenge Day. Noshavyah King, Certified Personal Trainer, Aerobic Instructor and Sports Conditioning Trainer of Genesis Fitness Express, led students and teachers drawn from schools from the East Bank, East Coast and Georgetown, through a rigorous but fun workout which lasted for about 30 minutes. Minister of Sport Dr Frank Anthony encouraged the students to use the day as a reminder that working out and exercising play an important part in staying fit and healthy. He added that the objective of World Challenge Day is to present a new attitude towards active living by stimulating citizens to break their daily routine and practise any kind of physical activity for at least 15 minutes. Observed around the world, World Challenge Day comprises a friendly competition in sport, where communities compete against each other to motivate as many people as possible within their area to get physically active. Above all, the event is a fun day that creates awareness and enthusiasm for fitness and active living in participating communities. Students were delightfully entertained by physical and acrobatic displays from members of the Guyana Defence Force and the Police Force
