It’s good that you quit jemasoni
So what?
You need to be prepared for exercise sir. Next year Chimbokaila is waiting for you. 43 fire tenders & toll gates equals Hard Labour.
Na fanta ku manja
Copper queens just proved that Hazel Nari is replaceable, Ngambo Musole is the best goal keeper Zambia has ever seen, she was best in Chile vs Zambia.
PF can find a female to replace the “third-term” president Edgar.
I seriously can’t due to time spent hustling. I work up to make sure I find what to eat in this hard economy.
Poeplw nedds.food and jobs. Not exercises for now.
The hardships around the populace is enough exercise, thank you. Koma imwe waku ma yadi you can afford to schedule ka jogging here and there. Ise ni kaya koma.
Talk about the economy.
Good example Mr. President: “mens sana sit in corpore sano” – a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.
I wish he put the same amount of effort in fixing the economy as he does exercising
Setting a good example sir. You never see hh exercising. He spends all his time eating mabisi and posting on Facebook. I am sure our president can beat him at 100 metres race.
Sir even I exercise and keep fit. Keeping fit is not just about getting muscles like lukanga on this forum. Many young men use steroids which gives them smaller ntwenus. As for me I train every day and let me tell you that it helps a lot with sex life. Young men need to learn to not take sex boosters like mwana apelule but instead should exercise
CAN ONE EXERCISE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, JOBS AND FARMING ARE THE BEST “EXERCISE” ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH.
Lincoln we have enough food here. Kaya uko ku Europe we hear things are tough due to covid. We will soon start fundraising for you guys there.
The message is simple. Do some exercise every day. You will be surprised how it improves your wellbeing. Especially sex life. I can give you people a run for their money when it comes to uku doda due to my great exercise regime.
Correction : A full marathon is 42 kilometres ; 21 kilometres is just a half marathon. In the athletics world 10 kilometres is never referred to as a marathon.
Was it a 10 km walk or a run? Picture shows walking action and not running. Either way it is important to do physical exercises to keep fit. He must also start some mental exercises to keep ….,
Exercising na njala, you bestowed poverty on us Sir, we were not like this before you came in. You can compare the stats you found and what you will leave us with next year
Good call by the head of state
Only those bellyful can afford to excercise, fix the economy first and you’ll see more people join
Exercises are very important, but for them to be of proper benefits, it must go hand in hand with decent meals. THE PRESIDENT can afford to have any meal he wishes but the people he is encouraging to be doing exercise like him, can hardly afford decent meals. How do you even start running in the name of exercise yet there is no food at home?
True….dat do you know the cost of being unhealthy, monies spent on hospital bills can be used for something else..
Right call sir
Was this ***** Lungu exercising in Chawama before he became president? I wish ECL could just shut up and enjoy his last days in state house. This useless vision less drunk of a man has taken Zambia back wards.
