Celestine Ndinda has praised the growing culture of running and staying active after noticing a fitness event in Nairobi.
She said she was happy to see more people choosing to move their bodies and take their health seriously. Her remarks came after she passed through Upperhill on Saturday, July 11, 2026, and found several roads closed because of a running event.
Celestine Ndinda explained that seeing so many people take part in the activity left her encouraged. Ndinda said the trend is about more than just running because every form of movement has value. She added that seeing more people embrace an active lifestyle is something she fully supports.
“This culture of people running, hata si running, this culture of people moving their body, saa hii nimetoka Upper Hill, bara bara zimefungwa fungwa because there is a run happening. I am loving it,” Celestine Ndinda said.
Ndinda said she believes movement has many benefits for people’s lives. She explained that not everyone has to become a runner to enjoy the positive effects of staying active. According to her, the important thing is to keep moving in any way possible.
“I love seeing more people embrace movement. Not because everyone has to become a runner, but because movement changes lives,” she said.
Movement is becoming part of daily life
She also spoke about the health benefits that come with regular physical activity. Celestine Ndinda said staying active helps both the body and the mind while encouraging people to take better care of themselves every day.
“It strengthens our bodies, clears our minds, improves our health, and reminds us to take care of ourselves,” she said.
Ndinda encouraged people to choose any activity that suits them instead of feeling pressure to follow one form of exercise. She explained that walking, dancing, cycling and going to the gym are all good ways to remain active and improve overall health.
“Whether you walk, run, dance, cycle, or hit the gym… just keep moving. Your body will thank you for it,” she said.
Her comments come at a time when running clubs are becoming more common across the country. More people are taking fitness seriously by joining group runs and making exercise part of their daily routines. Ndinda is also known for keeping an active lifestyle, as she regularly goes for morning runs when she is not spending time working out at the gym.
