Switch up your lockdown workout

With the UK in its second national lockdown, now is the time to start thinking about new home activities to remain motivated during this uncertain time. Original lockdown home workouts have been exhausted and repeated so why not join the Dubai Fitness Challenge from home? For the first time Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) has extended the opportunity to participate to those in the UK by virtually joining the challenge for 30 minutes, for 30 days from 30th October to 28th November 2020.

Marking the fourth edition of the Challenge, it will feature an action-packed calendar of virtual and physical events including sports, health, and wellness activities for Brits to involve themselves in. DFC 2020 seeks to motivate people to commit to 30 minutes of activity for 30 days.

The Dubai Fitness Challenge has been designed to help people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels improve their health and social well-being by experiencing a diverse range of physical and virtual fitness, sports and exercise programmes.

Recognising the importance of fostering a virtual support network to encourage people to keep moving wherever they are, whenever they can, DFC 2020 has included a special focus on at-home sessions with the return of its “Find Your 30” virtual content hub on www.dubaifitnesschallenge.com. The free-to-access, one-stop destination will host a wide range of fitness content for all ages and abilities, while providing inspiration and trusted information for users to craft their individualised fitness programmes. Participants can explore workout videos, 30-day exercise programmes, discipline challenges, healthy recipes, health and wellness articles, vlogs, educational videos for children, and much more from leading experts in the fitness and health industry. The hub will also provide easy access to DFC’s events and sessions, ensuring participants can navigate their personal fitness journeys both during the Challenge and beyond.

Registration for the 2020 Challenge is now open on the official DFC website. By registering, participants can unlock free 30-day programmes from DFC partner apps – Fitbit Premium, NEOU, Sweat, Daily Burn, Les Mills on Demand and FIIT; deals and offers on fitness and wellness merchandise; as well as exclusive workouts and wellness videos from some of the world’s best instructors.

For the runners amongst us, the 28-day Dubai Run training programme is now open for registration. The training programme is available on www.dubairun.com and will provide expert support and mentoring throughout. Whether you are an everyday runner or just starting out there’s step-by-step fitness guides for all levels covering 2km, 5km or a 10km run challenge.
