USM’s Kampus Sejahtera has been holding quite a number of senamrobik events throughout the whole academic year. The program has a visionary objective in attempting to collect the entire campus community to engage in a healthy lifestyle. This program has been quite a heat among students because they get to exercise with the help of instructors while getting MYCSD points. Kluster Kesihatan Kampus Sejahtera, the main organiser of the event, decided to end this academic year with the biggest senamrobik event throughout the entire semester.zhongw

This event naming “Senamrobik Mega” with a slogan of “Amalkan Gaya Hidup Lestari!” has been labelled as the most awaited event by the whole campus community. Being the biggest senamrobik event throughout the whole year, “Senamrobik Mega” offers three exercise styles that are zumba, body combat and also modern aerobic, which is a whole lot different from the usual senamrobik that only, offers body combat. The event was held on 28 April 2016 at Stadium USM and attracted more than hundreds of students to join.

Participants are doing zumba choreography under the guide of instructors.

The one and a half hour event starts at 5p.m. by dividing participants by gender and lining them up according to their height. They start by doing a 15 minutes warm up which includes stretching exercise to loosen participant’s tense muscle. 8 instructors are assigned to coach the participants with the help of Kampus Sejahtera’s EXCO. The event continued with a 20 minutes zumba with five different choreography, followed by another 20 minutes of body combat. After a 10 minutes break, the event continue with modern aerobic before finishing the event around 6.40p.m.

The event was a success in urging the campus community to exercise more and keeping fit. Committee member of Senamrobik Mega, Chong Hui Min, says that they have been promoting this event throughout the whole campus since April. Throughout the one month promotion period, they did promotion activities through Facebook and setting up booths at DK Foyer with some visual aids like posters and videos. With the help of #GreenCampus, the event manage to draw attention at the social media and attract participants to join them for this event.
