�Obour Needs To Lose 30 More Kilos" - Fitness Instructor

Mr. Ben Asare, a fitness instructor, has cleared MUSIGA president, Bice Osei-Kuffour, �extremely obese�. He made this declaration after a body mass index (BMI) checkup carried out during the launch of the rapper known as Obour�s Fit-in-6 reality show. According to the General Manager of Pulse Fitness Centre, for Obour�s height, he was supposed to have a BMI below 33 to be just obese. �BMI 35.3 is obese times two and a serious health risk�. Obour, who weighs 100kg, had an abnormal body fat of 32.3. Obour said he weighed 113kg, two months ago so 100kg was a great improvement but the well-built fitness instructor said, �Obour needs to lose 30 more kilos and weigh 70 kilos before he could be called a healthy person�. Obour argued with the methodology of measurement of the fitness centre the Fit-in-6 team have hired to help him lose weight. He said he weighed 98 kilos just the two days before the day of the launch so the scale�s 100kg reading was inaccurate. He, however, conceded he needed a vigorous fitness regime to get healthy. The fitness regime, which will documented for a reality show to be called Fit-in-6, will focus the first two weeks on Obour�s cardio system to prepare his body for the heavy task ahead. The early days of the 6-months program will involve Obour hitting the gym twice a week, then increase to thrice and then to more times with time. Mr. Asare said, it will be unhealthy to start a heavy fitness practice at once and that the body needed time to adjust to the exercise. The boss of the fitness centre located in the World Trade Centre and Lizzy�s Sports Complex said, as part of the fitness campaign, a blood test will be done on Obour to determine the best eating practice for him. The Project Manager for the Fit-in-6 project, Nayasad, said the reality show angle was to create a platform for a conversation on healthy living among the youth. �We have lost a lot of young talented people in recent times and we need to take action to protect ourselves through an advocacy for healthy practices.� He added, the Fit-in-6 project will have a fitness app, a health-conscious website and social media as part of the campaign. He said, corporate bodies and individuals interested in partnering the show could reach them via email, [email protected]. The show, which will start shooting from next week, will be produced by web and media house, BlooSpidaz and Obour�s record label, Family Tree Entertainment in association with entertainment TV station, 4Syte TV and Pulse Fitness Centre.
