Dubai Fitness Challenge 2023: Tips to Make Exercise a Priority

Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) is back and bigger than ever! This year, the challenge is all about making exercise a priority in our busy lives. With free sporting events, fitness villages, and community hubs, there are plenty of opportunities to get active. So, how can you fit exercise into your hectic schedule? Here are some essential tips to help you successfully incorporate the Dubai Fitness Challenge into your routine.

First, it’s important to plan your month and block your calendar. The DFC website is a great resource for finding ways to fit the challenge around your full-time job. From flagship events like Dubai Ride and Dubai Run to simple exercises that can be done during your lunch break, the website has all the information you need to plan and stick to your fitness goals. Treat your exercise time like a meeting and commit to it from the start.

Don’t forget to check if your workplace is involved with DFC. Many offices offer opportunities to work out during the day, so take advantage of those calendar invites. Even taking a 30-minute walking meeting or doing a yoga flow between calls counts towards your daily exercise.

Next, choose movement that makes you happy. DFC offers a wide range of activities, so find something you enjoy. Whether it’s trying a new sport or revisiting a childhood favorite, exercising should be fun and uplifting. When you enjoy what you’re doing, you’re more likely to stick with it.

Set milestones for yourself throughout the month. Choose a few must-do activities that you can look forward to. It could be a workout at the brand-new Run and Ride Central, a sunrise Pilates or yoga session at the DP World Kite Beach Fitness Village, or a bike ride at the RTA Mushrif Park Cycle Centre. With so many options available, there’s something for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

Enlist office workout buddies to stay accountable and motivated. Team up with colleagues and attend free classes together. Not only will this help you stay on track, but it can also add a healthy dose of competition. Make a promise to leave work on time and head to one of the many Padel courts across Dubai or join the largest HIIT workout by Les Mills and adidas.

Finally, keep the weekends fun and family-friendly. Take your kids to venues like Roll DXB, Dubai Ice Rink, or Bounce. You can also explore the DP World Kite Beach Fitness Village, RTA Mushrif Park Cycle Centre, or one of the 26 community fitness hubs across the city. By involving your family, you not only get to spend quality time together but also promote a healthy lifestyle.
