A family that stays fit together will live longer and happier together. Isn’t that right? I very well agree to that. More than keeping our family’s food healthy, we should also attain that healthy mind and body through regular exercise and fitness routine. It’s always easier said than done (I think I’ve mentioned it for a thousand times) but still, I keep my head up high because for me, it will never too late to keep up with other families who had been more fit than us. Robinsons Supermarket had been a health and fitness blessing for many families, with their easily accessible supermarkets (such as Robinsons Townville) , the Wellness Festival campaign, and now a Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run event.

Thousands of pairs had participated in the Robinsons Supermarket’s (RSC) 9th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run held at Bonifacio Global City. There were at least 4,500 pairs who joined the 5km Run and 5,000 pairs in the much longer 10KM category. A whopping number which only showed that we Filipinos are very into being healthy and fit. Even celebrities and professional athletes didn’t miss the event. Triathlete and 28th SEA Games Gold Medalist Nikko Huelgas was there.
