Breaking the malaise, in large part due to our current hectic and sedentary lifestyles, Watsons Malaysia brings Malaysian together in its major fitness campaign today entitled ‘Move Your Body’, to promote active lifestyles among Malaysians. The campaign has been planned as part of the countdown towards this year’s World Health Day, and ran from 25th February till 30th March 2014 at all Watsons stores in Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan.

“Being the leader in the health and beauty retail industry, Watsons Malaysia is known to be the champion in spearheading innovative campaigns to empower the community around us. As we begin the New Year, we want to make a resolution to shape Malaysians by encouraging them to lead healthier lives and to have the right fitness regime. As our brand promise states Look Good, Feel Great, we believe there is beauty in getting fit and hence healthy“, said Kulvinder Birring, Watsons Malaysia & Indonesia Managing Director during the opening speech at Sunway Lagoon

As the kick-start to the campaign, Watsons Malaysia worked in partnership with Hitz.FM and Celebrity Fitness to raise awareness through a flash mob which was held on 22nd February 2014 to intrigue the public on the ‘Move Your Body’ campaign.

“Dance is a creative and fun way to stay active. In fact, it is the largest growing art form for improving health. Through the Move Your Body campaign, we are encouraging communities to get your groove on and have a health and fitness regime,” he added.
