An Aer­o­bics and Zum­ba Work­out has been added to the cal­en­dar of events to boost cel­e­bra­tions staged by the Cou­va Car­ni­val Com­mit­tee (CCC) for 2026.

The work­out, which will be led by ex­pe­ri­enced aer­o­bics in­struc­tor Tsahi Ram­lal-Barath, comes off to­day at the Cou­va Car Park from 5 pm.

The event tar­gets fit­ness buffs who are tak­ing part in main­stream Car­ni­val events such as J’Ou­vert and pa­rade of mas bands on Car­ni­val Mon­day and Tues­day.

“While we are ex­pect­ing fit­ness fans to par­tic­i­pate in the work­out, we al­so en­cour­age the gen­er­al pub­lic to join us in this health-con­scious ac­tiv­i­ty.

The event is re­al­ly aimed at all and sundry and for all ages,” ex­plained CCC mem­ber Ker­ron Gill, who is as­sist­ed in the plan­ning by fel­low mem­ber Ke­ri­na Lau­rie.

Spe­cial prizes will be on of­fer for dif­fer­ent cat­e­gories of par­tic­i­pants, in­clud­ing J’Ou­vert cos­tumes, ho­tel stay­ca­tion gift cards, kitchen ap­pli­ances and food ham­pers.

Gill thanked the var­i­ous spon­sors of the event for their en­thu­si­as­tic sup­port, es­pe­cial­ly since the work­out is mak­ing its de­but this year.

Spon­sors in­clude Loli­ta’s Bar, Wall Broth­ers Pro­mo­tions, Bear Feel­ings Bar, Team Fi­nesse, Metro Ho­tel, Ding Mo­hammed’s Hard­ware, Qual­i­ty Cash & Car­ry Su­per­mar­ket, Anoint­ed Wheels Au­to, An­gos­tu­ra and SFM En­ter­pris­es.

En­ter­tain­ment will be pro­vid­ed by singer Mela Caribe, Dem Guyanese Boyz and DJ Wax.
