    Let’s Get Moving: 5 ways to Make Movement Fun and Excitement

    Have a break, make movement of fun and excitement with Jack ‘n Jill Nova in every single day!

    An active lifestyle can be a great way to improve your mood, making you feel happier and more energized. If you’re just finding your groove in working out, there are exciting ways to get your steps in. You can even make the experience more amazing by capping it off with a multigrain snack such as Jack ‘n Jill Nova.

    Whether you’re a casual or experienced mover, you can start with these five activities at home:

    Dance to your heart’s content

    Signing up for a dance or Zumba class can be daunting at first, especially if you’re doing it alone. Once you get past the nerves, you’ll learn to just follow the beat and move to your own rhythm. If you don’t want to join a class, no problem. You can always put on your favorite playlist or follow a dance workout video online in the comfort of your own home.

    Recently, Jack ‘n Jill Nova hosted NOVAmazing Moves, a series of pop-up events that aims to make movement fun and accessible for everyone through various activities. The multi-gain snack brand aims to support people’s active lifestyles, encouraging them to move with no pressure.

    Hula hoop your worries away

    Another fun activity that feels like play is hula hooping. This can be a great option if you want to improve your coordination and strengthen your core without the heavy lifting. It can also be a fun bonding activity with the kids in your household.

    Sweat it out on a bike

    Biking continues to be a popular activity across multiple generations. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to ride a bike, now’s the time to do it. You can also sign up for indoor biking classes, where you can pedal to lively beats and meet new people.

    Learn the ropes

    Jump rope can be a fun workout to try because it feels like you’re just playing outside. You can even elevate your experience by jumping to some hip music and learning trendy tricks. This was one of the interactive classes enjoyed by the attendees of the NOVAmazing Moves pop-ups where they learned the basics and a few fun tricks.

    Run with friends

    Running clubs are all over social media these days. Running has grown from being an activity to increase stamina and stay in shape to a community building effort. Grab your friends and create your own mini running club to get your steps in. After all, exercising with friends can be a fun time.

    These are just some quick and simple activities that can bring activeness and movement to your lifestyle. You can easily make your own NOVAmazing day by treating yourself with a bag of Jack ‘n Jill Nova which comes in Country Cheddar, Homestyle BBQ and Sweet Chili flavors.

    Grab a bag of Jack ‘n Jill Nova at any supermarkets and convenience stores near you. For more information and updates, don’t forget to like and follow Nova’s Facebook page.

    Universal Robina Corporation’s (URC) subsidiary in Thailand has been named as among the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia”, for a work culture that values its employees as key resources.

    “We cultivate a sense of belongingness through relevant workplace initiatives, advocating social responsibility and consistently instilling our core values. This ensures that our employees continue to deliver high-quality products and services that genuinely bring delight and joy for our consumers,” he said.
