The exercise was supervised by the course instructor, Mr. Yakubu Abubakar, who guided participants through various activities while emphasizing the importance of combining regular physical activity with balanced nutrition for optimal health.

During the session, students were sensitized to the critical role of physical fitness in promoting overall well-being, enhancing body functions, strengthening the immune system, and preventing lifestyle-related diseases. They were also encouraged to adopt healthy habits through proper nutrition and regular exercise.

The training, which lasted several hours, was conducted in accordance with established fitness guidelines previously introduced during classroom lectures. The exercise concluded with a body weight assessment, providing students with an opportunity to evaluate their weight status and gain a better understanding of appropriate dietary and fitness strategies for maintaining good health.
