MBABANE – Immediately after government lifts the partial lockdown, Zithande
Athletics Club will host a physical boot camp.
Online boot camps have proven not to be effective or yield the desired results
according to Coach Nsizwa Thwala. After government imposed the lockdown, the
athletics club resorted to online boot camp sessions through Facebook. “For
the March boot camp which we were supposed to host last weekend since we host
boot camps every first weekend of the month, it was not much of a success. This
is because we now do it online but we have decided to wait for government to
ease the lockdown regulations,” he said.
session
He said they could not get or reach most people through the online training
because many people did not have Facebook and the data to be live for two hours
of the session. “Many people prefer to see the trainer in front of them.
Training is a must to keep our immune system healthy. We are ready to host the
boot camp and we hope it will be staged at a sports ground,” said the coach.
Meanwhile, for a number of weeks during the lockdown, the club athletes had been
on detoxification. Detoxification (detox for short) is the physiological or
medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism, including the
human body, which is mainly carried out by the liver. “We always preach the
gospel of not only training but eating healthy, but then let’s say you have
crossed the red line and ate a lot of junk food this past festive season. We
cannot as a team disown you but we can work around to get back to doing the
right thing,” Thwala said.
detoxification
He said the session was for all those who were interested in detoxification.
“While it is true that the body can naturally detox itself, but it can’t
cope with the high volume of junk food or drinks,” he said. He advised that
everyone should detox to free their bodies and do it the fruits and vegetables
way, which he said was the natural way. “For seven days, we eat only plants
(fruits and vegetables), eating them fresh, raw, with no sugar, salt, no animal
products, meat, fish, egg, etc,” he said. He said this session helped
participants to lose weight or gain muscle. He also highlighted that this would
be a way to service your body and also teach athletes discipline.
