Dubai Fitness Challenge

ISC Dubai is actively participating in the Dubai Fitness Challenge that was launched by Sheikh

Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The

Executive Council of Dubai Government and Dubai Sports Council. Now as we experience the

cooler winter weather, the Dubai Fitness Challenge is a wonderful initiative to get all residents

of Dubai moving, through an array of physical exercises that are taking place for free across

the emirate. The concept is to exercise for just 30 minutes for 30 days from 20th October until

18th November 2017. Participants are encouraged to download the interactive App that logs

your activities and announces the many free events taking place around the city on a daily

basis. At ISC Dubai we always stress to parents and students the importance of physical

exercise, as it compliments a healthy mind and body, as well as a positive approach toward

studies. When we exercise, our body releases happy endorphins that can immediately take

your day from feeling down and pessimistic to positivity and a glow of happiness. Why Should

You Get Involved?: 1. Exercise releases a chemical in the brain called Dopamine that

contributes to increased levels of happiness. 2. Sweat to relieve stress. 3. Forget coffee or

energy drinks. Working out is a natural energiser. 4. Increase your confidence – when you look

good, you feel good. 5. Relieves any lingering and unwanted anxiety. 6. Guarantees a good

night’s sleep that is the key to feeling good both mentally and physically!
