The Dubai Fitness Challenge makes an energetic comeback today. Were you one of the many residents who woke up to a text message from 'Faz3' on Friday morning? If so, then you were one of the thousands to be personally invited to take part in the Dubai Fitness Challenge by none other than Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council. Now if that's not enough to urge you to take up the initiative, we don't know what is. "I challenge you to join the Dubai Fitness Challenge," the SMS from Sheikh Hamdan said.
From today, residents across the UAE will be able to benefit from a host of free outdoor activities, fitness sessions and gym classes as the city welcomes the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) for the second year. For those with a penchant for fitness; and even those without, the goal to dedicate 30 minutes of activity a day for 30 days doesn't require a month-long slog at the gym. As the Dubai Fitness Challenge makes an energetic comeback today for not only the young in age but also for the young at heart, a number of participants who took part in the challenge last year confess how the 30-day challenge had a transformative effect on their lives and turned from couch potatoes to health freaks.
