Challenge 2022
Dubai: Embrace the outdoor workout with host of activities offered during the last

weekend of Dubai Fitness Challenge.

Improved mood, a boost of vitamin D, lower blood pressure and better sleep are just

some of the benefits you can look forward to after exercising outdoors. Fresh air and

natural light work will add some extra magic to your workout, and with plenty on offer

outside this Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), it’s time to step into the sunshine.

Dubai Fitness Challenge, which runs from October 28 to November 26, is organised by

Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and Dubai Sports Council

Sunshine

Sunlight improves our energy by enhancing muscle performance and improving

oxidation of the tissues, along with giving us a vitamin D boost. Choose a morning

swim to catch some recharging rays, or head to the DP World Kite Beach Fitness

Village to soak up some seafront sunshine for a dose of serotonin — the hormone that
affects our mood. Studies show our brains change how they perceive situations after

just five minutes of being outside, so, in more ways than one your day will feel brighter

once you step out.
