On this note, it is with great pleasure I welcome you all to our Institute’s Annual Fitness Walk. This is a great avenue for the industry to exercise, merry, and ease off the stress of office work.

Health and Fitness are like the two sides of a coin. One must remain fit to maintain good Health. In today’s contemporary world, it has become all the more essential that we maintain our Health and physique. Health is the well-being of the physical and mental state of a person who has no diseases or illnesses. Fitness, on the other hand, describes the level of physical activities a person can do on a day-to-day basis. An average healthy person can do all of their daily work in a generally positive state of mind. Any physical activity, like walking, running, and swimming is a part of the exercise.

There is a common proverb that says, “Health is Wealth.” There is nothing a Healthy person cannot do when they have put their mind to it. A sickly person, on the opposite side, cannot carry out their daily chores without being exhausted, let alone extra work. Physical fitness plays an important role in one’s life, to keep our body fit, we should do regular exercises and have a proper diet of healthy foods. In the absence of an active exercise routine and diet, we become lazy and may gain weight.

I encourage us all to embrace this great opportunity. I appreciate the Institute for coming up with this programme that brings us together annually. And I equally seize this opportunity to specially recognise and appreciate all insurance companies’ Managing Directors, Industry Captains, Council Members, and Professional Colleagues present.

Once again, I welcome you all to this outing.
Thank you.
