Value 5: Exercise is unremarkable

Olivier is well known for being one of our most joyful and fun hosts. It’s seriously impossible not to smile when he’s around. He thought long and hard before he picked what his favorite Friskis value was: EXERCISE IS UNREMARKABLE:

“Exercise, at least the way that I practise it, is about giving more freedom to the body by expanding its internal abilities, especially in this age where most of us usually spend more than half the day sitting down. Exercising also has a great and proven effect on the mind and the neuronal connections.”

He also added: “I always feel sad when I hear people suffering from back pain or see someone  struggling to climb stairs due to stiffness in their legs and hip flexors.
Yoga is a truly inspiring activity and has been literally helping people for thousands of years and Flex is a great derivative focusing more solely on stretching dynamically our body.
It gives our limbs and body extended reach and preserves them from rapid ageing which might not be as ‘remarkable’ as a perfect 6 pack ab but is so invaluable that I’m ready to Flex for another 50 years :)”

Now that you’ve heard his thoughts, let’s take a moment to better know our host. Our fun loving Belgian Olivier chose to volunteer for F&S to answer a call and to show his love for the organisation. He enjoys the instructor’s energy, the diversity and the affordability of it, hence why he joined as a host in September 2016. So it comes as no surprise when he tells us that his life motto is “Oppa Gangnam style”! 🙂
