We recently attended the Watsons Get Active Fest 2018, their first all-day fitness and heath festival

We were part of the crowd of over 10,000 fitness enthusiasts of all ages that gathered at the Setia City Convention Centre for the all-day festival of fitness, fun activities, as well as beauty and health workshops. Kicking off in the wee hours of the morning at 6am with 'Yoga in the Park' and carrying on all the way to 11pm to end with the ever popular 'Move Your Body Zumba', everyone had a great time!

With the objective of promoting an active lifestyle to all Malaysians through physical exercises in a fun yet simple way, the Get Active Fest is part of Watsons' #GETACTIVE campaign, which is a health initiative to further advocate healthy living.

They definitely managed to achieve their goal as we had so much fun that we didn't even realise we were exercising!

Here are our top highlights from throughout the day:

1. Well-known celebrity yoga master Atilia Haron made sure everyone started off their day right with an invigorating yoga session that left us feeling energised for the day ahead
