ANT KATZ

Many members of the Jewish community find it more difficult than others to regularly and under expert guidance maintain a healthy, vibrant fitness lifestyle – all the more so for those observing a more frum lifestyle.

A wide variety of reasons stand between a Jewish family and practising their personal fitness in any formal manner. It is very unusual to see members of an observant family joining running or cycling clubs, for example, or participating in formal competitive events.

For this reason many Jewish families choose to maintain their fitness privately – usually by running, cycling, or in a home gym environment.

Yet training without expert advice leaves one in danger of either doing one’s body damage, or of not optimising the effort one puts into best achieving the desired effect.

OVER R15,000 PRIZE VALUE!

With this in mind, Jewish Report Online, together with a number of professionals and organisations specialising in assisting and monitoring personalised fitness programmes, has put together a Family Fitness competition that will allow one lucky family many thousands of rand’s worth of practical assistance from some of the best training and sport-science practitioners in Johannesburg. What’s more, we have tried to ensure that as much of this personal assistance as possible will be home-based and at your convenience.

Don’t miss the launch of Jewish Report’s Family Fitness competition on the website and in our newsletter next week and in our first weekly print edition of the newspaper after the high-holiday break, available on October 19.
