Amity Institute of Indian System of Medicine (AIISM) and Amity School of Physical Education & Sports Sciences (ASPESS) are jointly organizing the 6th Edition of Fit India Week, from 16th to 20th December, 2024. During the five -day event, various fitness related activities will be organized at Amity University Noida campus, with an aim to provide a major fillip to fitness in line with the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India and Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports to give a wider publicity to various dimensions of Fitness and to promote Health & Wellbeing among the masses.
Sharing his inspirational journey with the students, Mr. Rohtash Chaudhary, Fitness Icon and Guiness World Record Holder in Push Ups, averred, “My journey has not been easy, and I have gone through many challenges, in order to stand where I am today. I had to practice push ups daily with heavy weight on my back, even when I was unwell, which was extremely difficult for me. However, I never gave up and remained focussed on my goal since hard work, perseverance and resilience are the prerequisites for becoming successful in any endeavour. One must be disciplined in life, adopt a healthy lifestyle and exercise every day in order to become fit and build stamina. Never giving up in the face of hardships is a quality which one must develop and keep working hard till you achieve your goals.”
Prof. (Dr.) Balvinder Shukla, Vice Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, stated, “This initiative aligns with Amity’s commitment to ensure holistic development of students and creating a vibrant campus environment. We are honoured to have Mr. Rohtash Chaudhary present here with us today to share his highly inspirational journey with the students. The importance of a healthy lifestyle and exercise cannot be overlooked, and a healthy body and a healthy mind are essential to be successful in life. However, many youngsters are depending upon artificial products such as steroids, protein powders, etc, to build muscles in a short span of time, which must be avoided. One must only consume natural and healthy food to maintain a fit and healthy body.”
Welcoming the guests, Prof. (Dr.) H.P. Singh, Dean Students’ Welfare, Amity University, said, “This week-long event, aims to promote physical fitness and wellness among the students, faculty and staff. Through a variety of yoga and fitness activities throughout the week, the event will help in highlighting the importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise, amongst the youth.”
During the five-day event, various activities such as Surya Namaskar, Yoga, Meditation Session, Zumba & Aerobics Sessions, a Special Lecture on Healthy Lifestyle, will be conducted along with a special Fit India Walk within the Amity University campus, which will be a major highlight of this event.
