For Sheila Darko, a mum in her late 30s, joining the Yumvita Mommies Workout since 2021 has been one of her best decisions in life. The workout has provided her with a safe space for fitness, friendship, emotional support and confidence-building.
“What keeps me coming back is not just the exercise. It’s the encouragement. Whether you’re slim, plus-size, young, older, everyone is welcome,” she said.
Yumvita Mommies Workout is an annual activity geared towards promoting the culture of exercising, healthy living as well as celebrating mothers for contributing positively to the family and society as a whole, ahead of Mothers’ Day.
From aerobics and dance fitness to strength routines and stretching sessions, participants describe the atmosphere as uplifting and motivating.
For women balancing careers, motherhood, marriage, and personal responsibilities, the sessions have become an important form of self-care.
Participants were treated to healthy fruit-based smoothies, breakfast snacks made out of Yumvita, varying options of fruits, vouchers from partners, hampers, product and souvenir packages from Yumvita.
