Chief Executive Officer of Kayrom Lee Gym and fitness Center, Ambassador Romoke Ayinde has enlightened members the Radio Television and Theatre Arts Workers Union (RATTAWU), BCOS Chapter on the reason to create time to rest while serving and after retirement.

The lecturer in her introduction urged the RATTAWU members to find time to rest even while still in active service because what is next after retirement is sound health.
“I am very sure that, Rest is good and, likewise, it is sweet. This is the reason for the advice to everyone which input in quote that, “If you do not find time to rest, people will lay you to rest and tell your corpse to rest in peace.
“You have to take good care of your health since you cannot be as you were 35 years ago or when you were 29 years and retiring at 60 years. The work suggested is a form of exercise which caters for good health,” Amb. Ayinde, who is also the Iyalaje Adini of Oyo State said.
The multi lingual who recently completed a training in Gentle Persuasive Approaches in Dementia Care (GPA), which basically is to support persons with responsive behaviours from Advanced Gerontological Education further explained that “you cannot just sit down in a place because if you do, you will age quickly and become sickly also. You need some form of recreation and activities with help of a wellness expert and good physical instructor to take you.
“Whatever you might have missed in the work-life balance, is better fixed when you register with a gym where your exercise is well managed, and at the same time socialize with other people around.”
The testimony to this is better received at the Kayrom Lee Gym and Fitness Center where I have first-hand experience,” said the Mother of Sport in Oyo State and Leader of the state’s contingents to the last National Sports Festival held in Asaba Delta State.
