Mirchi, the city-centric music and entertainment company, has launched its latest initiative, ‘TRAFFIT’, in collaboration with Cult.Fit.
Through this program, Mirchi and Cult.Fit have designed a way to keep the people of Bengaluru healthy and active while stuck in traffic.
A recent study suggests that the residents of the capital city of Karnataka spend an average of 234 hours a year in traffic. On the back of this insight, Mirchi 95 launched drive-time exercises led by Cult.Fit experts across its on-air and digital channels.
Team Mirchi with RJs Jimmy Sarah, Ridhi, and Cult.Fit experts kickstarted the two-week-long campaign Traffit on radio and social media.
Following this, Mirchi and Cult.Fit created a fitness program for their listeners through which they can learn exercises that can be performed when they are stuck in traffic. Mirchi invited yoga and workout experts to guide listeners on how to perform the exercises and encourage them to regularly workout through a new workout every day.
Taking the initiative to its digital platforms, Mirchi curated multiple content pieces to highlight quick and easy ways to stay active and raise public awareness about the initiative.
MN Hussain, Business Director, Mirchi (APT, KAR), said, “Mirchi has always strived for the betterment of society. We recognised the increasing traffic in Bengaluru and the number of hours consumers spend in traffic and developed a novel solution to turn traffic jams into fitness centres. With an initiative of this magnitude, we are delighted to have collaborated with Cult.Fit who helped us enhance it further by bringing their expertise to the table. We are excited to hear from our listeners about this initiative.”
“When we at Cult.Fit first heard the idea of fitness in traffic, we immediately jumped into it because traffic is a great place to bring focus back to one’s body and basic breathing that several people tend to get wrong,” said Shwetambari Shetty, Fitness Expert, Cult.Fit.
